Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded to Paul Fontan Castrillon who opened to 12,000 from middle position. David Li-Zheng jammed all in for 63,000 from the hijack. The button and blinds both folded and Castrillon made the call.

David Li-Zheng: A♥J♥
Paul Fontan Castrillon: K♣J♣

Castrillon's jack didn't stay dominated for long as the 8♣2♣9♣ gave him a flopped flush and left Li-Zheng drawing dead. The A♠ turn and 10♦ were meaningless to both players as Li-Zheng's exit was already confirmed.
