Chao Duan Eliminated in 6th Place ($124,151)
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
With Duan short stacked and in the big blind, when it folded round to James Mendoza in the small blind he asked for a rough estimate of Duan's chip count before announcing "all in". Duan didn't have to think for too long before he deemed his hand good enough to call off with.
Chao Duan: 9♣7♣
James Mendoza 10♦9♠
Duan had enough outs on the 8♣Q♠K♦6♥ turn, but the brick 2♥ river sealed his fate. Mendoza's rail used this opportunity to celebrate again, and everyone waited in anticipation to see if Mendoza would pull a big bounty. He received one of the three remaining $5,000 chests, meaning we are left with $320,000 in the bounty prize pool, with only five left to be revealed.
