Just before entering heads up, Zheng and Nguyen Trung Ha were running near even while Jun Zhao needed two double ups just to catch up. That moment did not arrive, instead Zheng cleaned him out in 3rd place with QJ finding the river 61096J to bust Zhao’s A4.

Heads up against Nguyen opened with both very deep that it took almost one hour to wrap up. Zheng chipped away at Nguyen’s stack to build a 4:1 advantage. Nguyen found a little hope on a double up with JJ over Q10 but it was short-lived. The final hand was dealt.

Zheng limped with {ts}8, Nguyen checked holding J7. The flop came 6J9, Nguyen check-raised and got called. Both players checked the turn 5. Then on the river Q, Nguyen bet, Zheng pushed, Nguyen called for his tournament life and fell to the straight.
