Mehdi Chaoui Eliminated in 24th Place (€29,400)
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Mehdi Chaoui opened to 280,000 from the hijack, leaving just one 25,000 chip behind. Huang Wei raised all in from the cutoff with a covering stack and Chaoui made the call to put himself at risk.
Mehdi Chaoui: 7♥7♣
Huang Wei: Q♦Q♥
Chaoui was in bad shape with a lower pocket-pair and the Q♣J♥8♥ flop gave Wei a set, leaving Chaoui close to drawing dead. He failed to improve on the 8♠ turn or p5d] river and was sent to the rail while Wei picked up a decent pot.
