Weiran Pu Eliminated in 8th Place ($102,000)
Level 27
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Moussa Ahmad made it 450,000 from early position before Weiran Pu jammed from the hijack for 4,215,000. When it got back to Ahmad, he called to put Pu at risk.
Weiran Pu: A♦Q♥
Moussa Ahmad: A♣K♦
It was the second time that a player was at risk with a dominated ace, and this time, Pu was the one looking for a queen to survive.
The dealer spread out the 7♥10♣8♦ flop, which offered no help to Pu. A 10♦ turn gave some chop opportunities, but the K♣ river gave Ahmad the winner with a pair of kings.
Ahmad became the new chip leader with seven left, while Put headed to the cashier's desk to collect his eighth-place payout.
