Haitao Lei Eliminated in 9th Place ($62,000)
Level 27
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Ivan Zhang opened to 500,000 in early position with A♦J♣ and Patrik Demus made it 1,300,000 on his left. Haitao Lei was in the big blind and ripped all in for 3,000,000. Zhang quickly folded and Demus called just as fast.
Haitao Lei: A♣Q♥
Patrik Demus: Q♠Q♦
The flop came J♥8♦6♥ and Demus was still way out front with one of Lei's outs already in the muck. The 8♠ on the turn and the 4♦ on the river were also no help to Lei who became the first player eliminated at the final table.
