Zhen Chai Eliminated in 15th Place

All the chips were in preflop between Zhen Chai and Arthur Vea for one of the more dramatic hands of the evening.

Chai: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Vea: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The flop opened the door to the roller coaster that was to come when it came {8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, giving Vea a set of jacks, but leaving Chai with an open ended straight-draw that was completed with a {7-Spades} on the turn. However, the poker gods weren't done with the pair yet and delivered the {j-Spades} on the river to give Vea quad jacks and the best hand.

Christopher Reider has come over from the other table to take Seat 8 which was left vacant by Ken Lee a little while ago.
