Hand #159 - Lei He Eliminated in 3rd Place ($322,280)

Lei He - 3rd Place Finisher
Lei He - 3rd Place Finisher
Grant Levy has the button in seat 2 and opens the pot with a 375,000 raise. Jeremiah Vinsant then announces a reraise from the small blind, making it another 1 million to go. Then action then falls to Lei He in the big blind who tanks for quite some time before quietly announcing "I'm all in." Grant Levy steps out of the way and Jeremiah quickly makes the call:

Vinsant: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
He: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Grant Levy tells the other two players that he folded a nine before the flop is spread, {5-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The turn and river blank out {3-Spades}, {8-Clubs} and Jeremiah wins the pot with two pair, jacks and eights, eliminating Lei He from the tournament in third place, earning $322,280 AUD for his efforts.

Lei He's elimination sets up a heads-up match between Jeremiah "John" Vinsant of Tennesse, USA and local favorite Grant Levy of Sydney, Australia.
