Mauricio Salazar Sanchez opened to 250,000 in the hijack and Jiaming Zhao three-bet to 675,000 on the button. The action folded back to Salazar Sanchez who four-bet shoved all in for just over 2,000,000. Zhao quickly called and the cards were on their backs.

Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: A♦Q♣ All in
Jiaming Zhao: 9♥9♦

It was a coin flip and the flop of J♣8♥7♥ left Zhao in the lead with his pair of nines. The 4♠ on the turn changed nothing and Salazar Sanchez was down to just six outs. The 7♦ paired the board on the river and Salazar Sanchez was eliminated in 12th place.

Huawei Lin opened to 250,000 from the cutoff and Martin Sedlak called in the big blind.

The flop came 5♦2♠9♠ and Sedlak checked to Lin, who continued for 125,000.

"Why not all of it?" Sedlak said as he contemplated what to do with his remaining 200,000. Sedlak burned up a couple of time banks before deciding to commit his remaining stack to the middle and Lin quickly called.

Martin Sedlak: J♣6♣ All in
Huawei Lin: Q♠Q♥

The 4♠ turn gave Sedlak a little hope with a gutshot, but the 5♥ river bricked out and he was eliminated in 13th place.
