Yi Ye Eliminated in 23rd Place (US$3,500)
Level 27
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Yang Liu opened to 34,000 first to act and just behind him, Zhanhui Zheng three-bet to 85,000. It was then folded to Yi Ye, who shoved for her last 124,000 from the hijack. Liu folded, but Zheng called to put Ye at risk.
Yi Ye: K♠K♣
Zhanhui Zheng: K♥Q♥
Ye found herself in commanding shape to double up, and she maintained the lead on the A♥Q♦8♣ flop and 5♥ turn. However, a cruel Q♠ fell on the river to improve Zheng to trip queens — ending Ye's run in heartbreaking fashion.
