Henrik Juncker Eliminated in 8th Place ($49,421)
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Dusti Smith opened to 375,000 from middle position and Henrik Juncker shoved 595,000 from the hijack. Quan Zhou was on the button and put in a tiny four-bet to 865,000, then Smith put in a gigantic five-bet to 3,590,000. After some time thinking, Zhou called, leaving himself around 2,800,000 behind.
When the dealer put out a flop of J♦5♥2♣, Smith instantly moved all in, and Zhou snap-called for 2,810,000.
Henrik Juncker: A♥9♦ 
Quan Zhou: J♣J♥
Dusti Smith: A♣K♦
Zhou had flopped top set and was a huge favorite to storm into the chip lead. The 5♣ turn made that happen as Zhou made a boat, leaving both Juncker and Smith drawing dead. A meaningless 4♠ hit the river, and Juncker hit the rail as Zhou took the chip lead.
