Xixiang Luo opened the button before Xiaochuan Zhang jammed for 415,000 from the small blind and Luo snapped it off as the covering stack.

Xiaochuan Zhang: A♦K♣ All in
Xixiang Luo: A♥A♣

It was a brutal cooler with Luo picking up the goods on the button. The Q♥4♠3♠ flop was little help to Zhang as he picked up a backdoor straight draw. He did pair on the K♠ turn for a small sweat but the 5♦ completed the board and Zhang hit the rail after another deep run in this event, following his seventh place finish from 2024.
