Jiaming Zhao Eliminated in 8th Place ($76,000)
Level 27
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Jiaming Zhao shoved for 2,700,000 from the hijack and James Mendoza also went all in from the small blind. Everyone else folded and the board was run.
Jiaming Zhao: Q♣J♥
James Mendoza: A♦K♦
Zhao found himself dominated and remained behind on the 4♥9♥4♠ flop.
The 2♥ turn gave him additional outs to a flush, but the 8♣ river bricked out and the once chip leader was forced to settle for an eighth place finish.
Mendoza, on the other hand, has made an epic comeback after being on the brink of elimination and currently sits with 7,800,000.
