Zhang is Out
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
From chip leader to out of the tournament was the fate of Haixia Zhang after her final hand against Hamed Valizadegan. A series of pots went against Zhang, leaving her with a short stack. Zhang jammed for her final 42,000 from under the gun and was called in the next seat over by Valizadegan to be at risk for her tournament life.
Haixia Zhang: J♦9♦
Hamed Valizadegan: A♦2♦
It was a coin flip, but the flop put Valizadegan further ahead when it fanned out A♣Q♣8♥.
Zhang could still hit a ten for a straight, but the 3♣ turn and the 7♦ river resulted in Zhang's elimination.
