Dong Sends Xu Packing
Level 15
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
There were around 75,000 chips in the middle on a 4♣8♠2♠ flop when Anthony Xu checked from the big blind and Nelson Dong bet 35,000. Xu thought for some time before he cut out a raise to 80,000, and Dong moved all in! Xu had around 200,000 behind and toyed with the idea of folding, but eventually called to put himself at risk.
Anthony Xu: 10♥8♥ 
Nelson Dong: Q♠Q♦
Xu almost laid his hand down but perhaps felt he was committed after his flop raise. There were some outs that could prevent Xu's elimination, but neither the 6♥ turn nor A♠ river were the cards he needed, and he was eliminated.
