Level 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Biao Ding raised to 320,000 from the hijack with just 100,000 behind, Eyal Eshkar was the only caller from the button, and the two players saw the flop of 4♣9♠3♥ come down.

Ding checked, and Eshkar bet 100,000, enough to put Ding all in. Ding called and the players went to a showdown.

Biao Ding: K♦Q♦ All in
Eyal Eshkar: A♠9♣

Eshkar's pair of nines were currently ahead, and Ding needed some help from the dealer on the turn or river.

An A♦ on the turn left Ding drawing dead, as the 9♦ river gave Eshkar an unnecessary boat, and Ding was out in 19th place.
