Joe Pavan Eliminated in 8th Place ($7,337)
Level 31
: 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Bruce Jiang opened to 450,000 from middle position before action folded to Joe Pavan in the small blind who slid his remaining stack of 960,000 into the middle. Jiang called and both players turned their cards on their backs.
Joe Pavan: 6♠6♦
Bruce Jiang: 4♦4♥
The K♠2♥9♥ flop kept Pavan firmly in the lead as did the 8♠ turn. As a sizable dog, Jiang needed to find another set on the river to whittle the final table down to seven and he did exactly that, spiking the 4♠ and making a set on the river for the second time at tonight's final table.
The table let out a collective gasp as Pavan was eliminated in 8th place for $7,337.
