Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Taylor Paur made it 16,000 to play from under the gun, and Vinicius Escossi in early position came along for the ride. Yukai Sun in middle position then three-bet all in for 56,000.

Action came back around to Paur, who went into the tank for a while and then announced that he was all-in as well. Escossi thought for a while and asked for the count, but then folded his cards.

Yukai Sun: A♦J♣ All in
Taylor Paur: A♣Q♦

No jack for Sun on the 9♣2♠6♣5♣3♣ run out, and he was sent to where the poker sun doesn't shine.
