Double Elimination
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
After a long period of being stuck on 17 players, we’ve just lost two players simultaneously on two different tables to now finally reach our final two tables.
On Table2, Christian Haggart and Xiongzhen Wu were all in preflop with Haggart holding against Wu’s 
. The board ran out 
to give Haggart the pot.
As the chips were being cut down to see if Wu would survive, there was another all-in situation over on Table 5 as Hao Tian was all in for his tournament life with 
against Tony Cheng’s 
. The flop of 
brought a set for Cheng and left Tian looking for a jack for a straight to stay alive. The 
turn and 
river completed the board to see Tian fall short of a repeat final table berth.
Meanwhile back on Table 2, Haggart narrowly covered Wu, meaning that both eliminated players will chop the prize money and share 16th place.
