Matthew Pearson Eliminated in 19th Place (£1,350)
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Wantao Tang opened from the cutoff and saw Matthew Pearson defend his big blind. Tang fired bets of 40,000 on the A♠8♦5♣ flop and 75,000 on the 9♣ turn, both of which Pearson check-called.
Pearson checked for a third time on the 4♠ river, quickly calling off when Tang put him all-in for his last 140,000.
Pearson tabled A♥2♥ for top pair, but he was outkicked by Tang's A♣J♥ and thus kicked out.
