Lulei Hu Eliminated in 22nd Place (€43,000)
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Lulei Hu made it 120,000 from the cutoff and Claudio Di Giacomo shoved from the big blind, covering Hu. Hu made the call for his stack of 1,180,000 and the players went to a showdown.
Lulei Hu: A♣K♠
Claudio Di Giacomo: 5♠5♥
It was a flip with Hu having big slick against the pocket fives of Di Giacomo. The dealer delivered a flop of Q♣5♣2♣ to give Di Giacomo a set of fives, while Hu still held outs to a flush.
Hu took the lead when the 4♣ rolled off on the turn, and he just needed to fade a board-pairing river to double. A 4♦ rolled off on the river and gave Di Giacomo a full house, eliminating Hu.
Hu headed to the rail in 22nd place and Di Giacomo was up to over six million.
