Preston Willier Eliminated in 22nd Place ($13,386)
Kelley Slay open-jammed all-in in the small blind to be called by Preston Willier in the big blind.
Kelley Slay: Q♦J♦
Preston Willier: A♥4♦
Willier was ahead pre-flop but the board ran 10♥9♦7♣J♥2♦ giving Slay a pair on the turn for a double up leaving Willier with only 170,000 behind coming into the small blind.
The very next hand, Wilier shoved all-in with his remaining chips after Ruoxiao Shi opened for 400,000. Big blind Wei Chen called the raise creating a side pot of 460,000.
All players saw the flop drop 4♣6♦8♥. After a check, Shi continued with a 300,000 bet which was enough to take the side pot down and taking Willier to showdown.
Preston Willier: K♣6♥
Ruoxiao Shi: A♦8♦
Shi had top pair against Willier's middle pair. The turn 3♣ didn't change anything but the river 8♣ improved Shi's hand to trips sending Willier to the payout counter.
