Xiaohu Liu Eliminated in 3rd Place ($234,432)
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Chenxiang Miao jammed from the small blind and Xiaohu Liu called for his stack of 2,000,000 from the big blind.
Xiaohu Liu: 5♠5♣
Chenxiang Miao: 8♠7♠
Liu was the clear short stack and needed to win the flip to keep his bracelet hopes alive.
Miao took the lead on the 3♠J♥7♥ flop after pairing his seven. Liu couldn't find one of the two remaining fives on the 10♠ turn or 3♥ river, and he headed to the rail in third place.
