Zhen Chen Eliminated in 23rd Place ($51,211)
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Zhen Chen shoved the hijack for 4,200,000 and Michael Ruane moved all in from the cutoff for 12,100,000. James Gauley was in the small blind and after thinking for around two minutes, he made the call.
Zhen Chen: A♦2♣ 
Michael Ruane: A♣J♦
James Gauley: J♠J♣
Gauley had a great opportunity to eliminate two players and surge up the counts, but the A♥4♠9♦ flop put Ruane in the driver's seat. The 10♠10♥ runout didn't change anything, which meant Ruane more than doubled up, and Chen was left on the rail.
