Jingyao Yan Takes Down $4K NLH Big Bounty for First Triton Title ($51,000)
Xiaosheng Zheng was eliminated in fourth place when he got it all in preflop with ace-eight against the pocket tens of Jingyao Yan. Zheng found an ace on the flop to pull ahead, but Yan spiked a ten on the river to claim the pot.
Moments later, Siegfried Friedl jammed on the button with Q♥J♣ for about ten big blinds and was called by the A♦3♣ of Terrance Reid in the big blind. Both players caught a piece of the Q♠A♥6♦ flop, but the board ran out 10♥, 10♦, sending Friedl to the rail in third.
Heads-up play began with Yan having more than a 2:1 chip lead over Reid and the duel proved to be short-lived. Reid raised on the button to 1,100,000 holding K♥J♦ and Yan defended in the big blind with 7♥3♥. The rest of the money quickly went in on the action flop of A♥9♥2♥, but Reid couldn't find a heart to stay alive.
