Buchalter Back to Seven Figures After Eliminating Mao
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Eric Tang raised to 60,000 in middle position. Yehuda Buchalter called in the small blind before Renji Mao committed his stack of 203,000 from the big blind. Both Tang and Buchalter called, and the 4♠9♣8♥ flop was spread.
Buchalter then led all in for 384,000, folding out Tang and taking the pot to showdown.
Renji Mao: A♣Q♥Q♦8♣ 
Yehuda Buchalter: K♠K♦5♠3♦
"Against that, it's gonna be tough," Mao concluded when he saw the cards. Buchalter's kings held through the J♠ turn and 2♥ river, eliminating Mao from the event.
