Zamani Wrests Lead from Jiang Before Break

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

For the first time in awhile, there's a new chip leader.

Chengce Jiang opened for 300,000 in the small blind and Ben Zamani defended the big. The flop came {2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and both players checked. On the {q-Clubs} turn, Jiang bet 275,000 and Zamani called. The river was a {5-Clubs} and Jiang checked. Zamani cut out a massive bet of 1,060,000 and slid it in. Jiang thought a couple of minutes and called, but Zamani showed him {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a straight.

Right after that, players went on break.

Dwight Sellars
Dwight Sellars

Dwight Sellars was eliminated when he got {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} all in against Ben Zamani's pocket sixes, {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

Sellars has been hanging on through several eliminations today, doubling up at the right time and laddering up to fourth place. Finally, he couldn't beat Zamani, who came in as the second shortest stack today, but has been crushing and is now second with three left.

Sellars Doubles Through Zamani

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Ben Zamani made it 325,000 on the button and Dwight Sellars defended his big blind. The flop came {7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Sellars checked. Zamani said he was all in and Sellars snap-called.

Sellars: {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Zamani: {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Zamani needed a miracle and the {k-Clubs} turn and {3-Diamonds} river didn't provide one. He sent Sellars about 400,000.

Ben Zamani limped from the small blind.

"You're gonna play nice?" Lang Nguyen asked from the big blind.

He looked down at {k-Spades}{9-Spades} and shoved all in for 2,700,000 and Zamani snap called and showed him two queens, {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

"Oh f*@k," said Nguyen.

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Zamani won the pot.

Nguyen will take home $107,968 for his fifth place finish.

Joseph Doubles Through Jiang

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Chengce Jiang opened under the gun and called the shove of Johanssy Joseph, who had 1,030,000 in the small blind.

Joseph: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Jiang: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

Jiang was not happy to see he was dominated and the bone-dry {2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades} runout did him no favors.
