Yifan Tang Eliminated in 8th Place ($19,060)
Yifan Tang just limped in from under the gun which allowed Toby Lewis to check his option in the big blind. The flop came 7♠7♦5♣ and both players checked to the 8♦ on the turn.
Lewis led out with a bet of 150,000 and Tang called to see the 8♠ on the river. Lewis reached back for a bet of 500,000 and Tang eventually looked him up. Lewis flipped over A♦8♣ for a full house and Tang was down to just 400,000 chips.
On the next hand, Jon Kyte raised to 160,000 in the cutoff and Tang defended from the big blind. The flop came 7♦6♦4♣ and Tang checked to Kyte who announced all in. Tang instantly called off the last of his chips and the cards were tabled.
Yifan Tang: 9♦5♥
Jon Kyte: A♦J♠
Tang had a wealth of outs with a straight draw and two live cards to hit, but the 7♥ and 2♦ runout was no help and Tang bowed out in eighth place.
