Pingfeng Wu Eliminated in 16th Place (US$5,300)
Level 29
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jiaming Zhao raised to 55,000 and then called the shove by Pingfeng Wu in the next seat for only 190,000.
Pingfeng Wu: A♣8♣ 
Jiaming Zhao: 10♦9♦
Wu was ahead but his comeback was in danger on the K♣10♠4♣ flop, as Zhao improved to a pair of tens. His ace was live, as were any clubs, but only the clubs could help after the 9♠ turn. The river was the J♦ and that sent Wu to the rail in 16th place.
He was one of two players to bag up chips in two starting flights, combining the respective stack sizes while also earning two Day 1 rewards as well. On top of that, he earned another US$5,300 for his deep run today.
