Jiawei Yuan Eliminated in 3rd Place (US$54,000)
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Jinsui Fan opened to 250,000 on the button and Jiawei Yuan shoved for his last 700,000 in the small blind. It was folded back to Fan, who called to put Yuan at risk.
Jiawei Yuan: A♠5♦
Jinsui Fan: A♦10♣
Yuan found himself in trouble against Fan's dominating ace, but the A♣8♣5♥ left Yuan with two pair for the domination reversal.
The 4♦ left Yuan one card away from a double, but in a cruel twist of fate, the 10♠ filled the river to put Fan back in front with a higher two — eliminating Yuan in third place.
