Quan Zhou Eliminated in 21st Place ($55,000)
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ottomar Ladva made it 100,000 to go from the cutoff and Quan Zhou three-bet to 370,000 out of the small blind. Ladva four-bet ripped it with the covering stack, and Zhou called for his stack of 2,000,000.
Quan Zhou: A♦K♠ 
Ottomar Ladva: Q♦Q♠
Both players held premium pocket hands, and it was Zhou that needed to connect with the runout to double up and survive.
The flop of 9♣4♠J♥ provided no help to Zhou, and neither did the 6♥ turn.
A 10♠ fell on the river, keeping Ladva's ladies as the best hand, and Zhou headed to the rail in 21st place.
