Jie Gao just recalled to us the story behind the crippling blow that has left him with just 30,000 in chips.
Gao had pocket kings against Nathan Sawyers’ queen-jack, but a jack on the flop and another on the river gave Sawyers the double and left Gao in deep trouble.

First Jim Doumit was eliminated in 23rd place.
Then moments later Daniel Neilson was out in 22nd place.
Neilson's elimination was quite brutal as he recalled to us what happened.
Apparently Neilson opened with a raise from under the gun holding
Neilson then flopped the nuts and a Royal Flush draw to go along with it -
Neilson got his stack of around 260,000 in here and was looking good against
