Quan Zhou Eliminated in 3rd Place ($650,567)
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Michael Wang opened to 1,800,000 from the button and Quan Zhou defended from the big blind.
The flop came 5♥4♣7♣ and Zhou check-called a 2,200,000 continuation bet from Wang.
Zhou shoved for 3,850,000 on the K♥ turn and Wang snap-called with a covering stack to put him at risk.
Quan Zhou: Q♦Q♣6♠5♠ 
Michael Wang: A♦A♣6♥5♣
Wang had an overpair and the nut-flush draw while Zhou could only catch one of two queens to double up. Wang's aces stayed best on the J♠ river to eliminate Zhou in third place and enter heads-up play against Michael Zulker with a sizable chip lead.
