A Hit for Hao Tian

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Hao Tian has lost a couple of significant pots and is now down to around 20 big blinds. At first, he three-bet Ye Wang from the small blind to 95,000 against the former's open from the button, and then folded to his shove.

Then he saw Liuheng Dai shoving from the cut-off for 206,000, and he called from the big blind.

Hao Tian: {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Liuheng Dai: {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Dai doubled-up.

At first, Liuheng Dai was with {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} against Hao Tian's {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}. The board ran out {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Dai doubled-up.

The same happened with Xingbiao Zhu who picked up {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and was against Ye Wang's {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. The flop gave the lead to Wang with {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, but the {8-Diamonds} on the turn and the {j-Hearts} on the river returned the pot to Zhu.

Yang Zhang Eliminated in 7th Place

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Yang Zhang
Yang Zhang

There were two or three short stacks in the table, but it wasn't one of them that busted on the bubble. Ye Wang had the lead and kept on pressuring his opponents by shoving many of his hands preflop.

On one of these occasions, he was on the button and shoved again, with Xingbiao Zhu in the small blind and Yang Zhang in the big blind. Zhu folded quickly, but Yang Zhang called even quicker, risking his more than 30-big-blind-stack.

Ye Wang: {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Yang Zhang: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The flop gave the lead to Wang immediately, falling {7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Hearts}, the {j-Spades} turn added some outs to Yang's hand, but the {4-Spades} on the river wrote the epilogue for Yang Zhang. The runner-up of this festival's Main Event is the bubble boy of the final High Roller, and all remaining players have secured a place in the payouts.
