Jie Fu Eliminated in 2nd Place ($156,773)
Level 41
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
On a board reading J♥8♣10♦, Jie Fu was facing a bet of 5,000,000 from Jay Lockett. Fu did his signature move by standing up and declaring himself all in. After some time Lockett made the call and Fu saw some bad news.
Jie Fu: 9♣4♣
Jay Lockett: 10♥9♦
Both players had an open-ended straight draw, but Lockett had a pair to go with it. When the A♣ turned, Fu was rooting for a club to come, as it was his only chance to scoop. When the 10♠ hit the river, Lockett burst into celebration this time, knowing he had just locked up the gold bracelet.
Congratulations to Jie Fu who had a spectacular run in this massive field.
