Yayun Liu Eliminated in 24th Place ($38,000)
Level 24
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Shortly after the action resumed, Yayun Liu opened to 500,000 and then called all-in when Mehdi Chaoui pushed all-in out of the small blind.
Yayun Liu: Q♥Q♠ 
Mehdi Chaoui: 9♠9♥
Liu was at risk but ahead. However, the 6♠5♥4♣9♣10♦ board gave Chaoui a set of nines and Liu became the first casualty on the final three tables.
Liu bowed out in 24th place for $38,000 and all remaining 23 players have now locked up at least $45,200 for their efforts.
