Kaiwen Wei Eliminated in 2nd Place ($20,025)
Level 21
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Nathan Thrush, who was on the button, put Kaiwen Wei, in the big blind, all in. Wei called.
Kaiwen Wei: Q♥J♦ 
Nathan Thrush: A♣4♥
The flop came 10♠A♦2♦, giving Kaiwen Wei a glimmer of hope and a flush draw to chase. “Give me a diamond,” he pleaded and sure enough, the 9♦ hit the turn.
“What a sweat,” Thrush remarked, watching the drama unfold. But the river bricked with the 3♣, and with that, Wei’s run came to an end in second place for $20,025.
