Two-time WPT winner Bin Weng was one of the 82 entries in the field and emerged as one of the chip leaders early into the day. But following the end of late registration, Weng lost the majority of his stack to a flopped ace high flush from WSOP Bracelet winner Andrew Porter, and was eliminated shortly after.
