Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a three-way pot with 20,000 already in the middle, action checked to Zhiqin Zeng in the hijack and he bet 11,000.

The small blind went deep in the tank and Fong Yang called the clock before the small blind folded. Yang then raised all in from early position and Zeng called for the rest of his stack.

Zhiqin Zeng: 10♦10♥ All in
Fong Yang: 2♣2♦

Zeng had run into a set and didn't improve as the board ran out 5♥A♥ to mark his elimination.
