Renji Mao Eliminated in 4th Place ($35,000)
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Renji Mao opened the action with a raise to 40,000 from under the gun off a stack off 475,000 and Ivan Zhang in the big blind eyeballed his stack to then stick it in. Mao called and had a wide smile on the face despite being the odds-on favourite to bust in the following showdown.
Renji Mao: A♠Q♥ 
Ivan Zhang: A♦K♠
The 10♦7♦5♦ flop left Mao on the ropes as Zhang had the nut flush draw to go with his superior kicker. Both players hit a straight draw with the J♣ turn and the 6♣ river ended Mao's run as first player in the money for $35,000.
