Jin Zeng Eliminated in 8th Place (US$12,500)
Level 33
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Weizheng Zhong opened to 130,000 from the hijack holding Q♠J♣ and Jin Zeng called all in for his last 130,000 from the cutoff. It was then folded to Jiaming Zhao, who also went all in for 590,000 from the small blind. Zhong got out of the way and the board was run.
Jin Zeng: A♣9♣
Jiaming Zhao: A♦K♥
Zeng found himself dominated, but the 2♦8♠9♥ flop vaulted him into the lead with a pair of nines.
The 10♠ turn was safe for Zeng and he just needed to fade a king, but as fate would have it — the K♣ filled the river to give Zhao the winning hand and eliminate Zeng in eighth place.
