Cheng Xu Eliminated in 4th Place ($27,300)
Level 27
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Leonid Orman moved all in from the cutoff, covering the table. Chengxu Hu went all in from the button for 3,600,000, Aleksandr Razinkov also went all in from the small blind for 6,425,000.
A shell-shocked Aleksei Istomin was daydreaming in the big blind and had to snap out of it to fold.
Chengxu Hu: A♠Q♣
Aleksandr Razinkov: A♦K♣
Leonid Orman: Q♦10♦
A gargantuan pot developed and after the flop of 10♣9♠8♦ Orman went from third place to first. The 6♠ on the turn did not change things, but Barry Greenstein paid a visit with the A♥ on the river to give Razinkov the overwhelming chip lead.
Orman lost a chunk, and Hu was eliminated in 4th place. Hu earlier won the top prize bounty of $100,000 and very nearly clinched the double.
