Shijia Zhai Eliminated in 15th Place (AUD 14,000)
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Hun Wei Lee made it 200,000 to go from the hijack and Michael Tomeny three-bet the cutoff to 600,000. Shijia Zhai on the button used one time bank before he called, both blinds and Lee folded.
The J♠9♦8♦ flop saw Tomeny push all-in and Zhai called after nearly depleting his 30 seconds to act.
Shijia Zhai: Q♥Q♠
Michael Tomeny: A♠K♦
Zhai was ahead but fell behind with the A♥ turn. There was no further twist to the story as the blank 4♦ river ended Zhai's run in 15th place for AUD 14,000.
"Just give him the ace on the flop," he sighed on the way out.
