button in SafariXiang Eliminated After Encountering Fan; Ju Doubles in Preflop Cooler
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Longmao Fan was seen dragging a big pot, which Yao Xiang was on the losing end of. Xiang was left with just 36,000, which he tossed in from the small blind the next hand. David Djian called in the big blind, and the cards were tabled.
Yao Xiang: J♠J♥ 
David Djian: 8♠7♥
A comeback story was looking to be in the cards for Xiang, but Djian made two pair on the 7♣K♠9♦8♥ turn for a big lead. The 2♣ river did not save Xiang, who amicably tapped the table before he left the tournament area.
Some minutes before, Samuel Ju had gotten his aces in preflop against the ace-king of Mehdi Chaoui, and held to double up to an above-average stack. Meanwhile, Stanislau Shylkou was eliminated from the feature table at the start of Day 4.
