Yang Lei Eliminated in 16th Place ($19,117)
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Matan Mesika kicked off the action with an under-the-gun raise to 200,000. Yang Lei was sitting right next to him and made a three-bet to 1,100,000. With the action back to Mesika, he didn't hesitate and went all in, prompting an immediate call from Lei.
Yang Lei: A♦K♠
Matan Mesika: A♠A♥
When the dealer tabled the board with Q♦6♣J♦, Lei screamed, "One time ten, one time!"
But the 5♥ turn and the 2♥ river didn't provide any ten, which meant the elimination for Lei and a decent addition to Mesika's stack.
