Chris DeQuatro Eliminated in 12th Place ($4,855); John Alexander Eliminated in 11th Place ($5,945)
Heads-up on a flop of 5♥J♣4♠, Chris DeQuatro bet 300,000 from under the gun and Michael Cheng raised to 700,000 in the big blind. DeQuatro then moved all in for 1,080,000, and Cheng called.
Chris DeQuatro: A♦J♥
Michael Cheng: J♠6♦
Both players show top pair, but DeQuatro was ahead with his ace-kicker and poised for the double up as the 9♠ fell on the turn. The river, though, was the 6♥ to give Cheng two pair.
"No! God dammit," DeQuatro yelled out as he stormed out of his seat.
"He's so very lucky," Wooyang Lin said about Cheng.
The next hand at this table, John Alexander put in his last 25,000 from the cutoff, Lin reshoved on the button, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
John Alexander: 9♦9♣
Wooyang Lin: A♦K♥
Lin hit top pair on the A♥J♠2♥ flop to take the lead, and Alexander got no help on the K♠ turn or 4♠ river as he was sent to the rail in 11th place.
