Ping Liu Eliminated in 4th Place ($92,410)
Level 34
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Sami Bechahed looked down at two black nines in the small blind and raised to 800,000. Ping Liu was in the big and three-bet to 2.4 million with a pair of queens, which Bechahed called.
The 4♦9♦8♠ flop gave Bechahed a set and he coyly checked to Liu, who bet 2.2 million with his overpair to the board. Bechahed woke up with an all-in check-raise to 11.8 million and Liu, who had 6.13 million behind, called it off to create a pot of 21.7 million.
Ping Liu: Q♥Q♣
Sami Bechahed: 9♣9♠
Liu was looking to catch either a queen or running straight cards, but that failed to happen as the 3♥ bricked on the turn followed by the 6♠ on the river.
