Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Clemen Deng raised to 160,00 when it folded to him in the cutoff. When it folded to the big blind Jiacong Zhang, he three-bet all in for 900,000. After contemplating his decision, Deng made the call.

Jiacong Zhang: 9♥9♣ All in
Clemen Deng: K♥J♥

Zhang was ahead with his pocket nines but had to fade the over cards of Deng. He was able to do so on the 5♦8♠Q♠ flop, but the J♦ on the turn put Deng ahead with a pair of jacks. When the 4♦ hit on the river, it officially eliminated Zhang in 20th place.
