Sahil Chuttani raised to 640,000 with 45,000 behind. Mike Takayama re-raised enough to put Chuttani all in, and the Indian called.

Sahil Chuttani: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Mike Takayama: {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Takayama's rail was calling for a five but the flop came {7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. The turn, however, was the {5-Clubs} and Takayama took the lead.

Chuttani needed a ten on the river to win, or a seven to chop, but the river was the {9-Spades} and he was eliminated.

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jingzhi Wang Eliminated in 9th Place (₱1,097,075; $21,249)

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jingzhi Wang

The final table started with a real rush, giving to the players some of the best combinations in Texas Hold'em. After the previous straight flush, it took only two hands, before there is another big hand, this time quads that resulted in the elimination of Jingzhi Wang.

Florencio Campomanes opened the action with a limp on the button, Jingzhi Wang completed from the small blind, and Sahil Chuttani raised to 450,000 from the big blind. Campomanes folded quickly, and Wang announced all in, with Chuttani snap-calling her.

Sahil Chuttani: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Jingzhi Wang: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The flop was catastrophic for Wang, since the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts} gave quads to Chuttani, and left her with zero equity. The {4-Spades} on the turn, and the {8-Diamonds} on the river was a formality, with Wang being the first elimination of the final table.
