Zhao Yanchao Out
Level 13
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
There are currently 49 players left in contention with one of the more recent eliminations the unfortunate Zhao Yanchao. The Chinese player’s fortune had been on the wane since the last time we checked and Yanchao was down to his last 18,000 in chips.
These found their way into the middle against Tang Jia – the man whose set of nines Yanchao cracked earlier – who had opened for 7,000. Jia made a quick call and the cards were turned over.
Zhao Yanchao: 
Tang Jia: 
The 
flop brought something for everyone, giving Jia another set and Yanchao another flush draw. This time Jia managed to fade the draw and earn himself some sweet revenge when the 
turn and 
river missed Yanchao’s heart draw. Yanchao hit the rail while Jia stacked up to 60,000.
