Konopka Melts Xu's Snowmen; Gehrmann Also Busts
Level 28
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Yuhan Wang raised to 350,000 from the hijack before Mo Xu jammed for 1,260,000 out of the cutoff. Karol Konopka shoved over the top for around 3,000,000, forcing Wang to let go of his hand.
Mo Xu: 8♣8♦ 
Karol Konopka: J♣J♥
Xu was looking for a date with an eight to stay seated in the tournament. However, he was left unimproved on the 7♦K♦3♥10♦A♥ runout, and his entire stack was sent over to Konopka.
At a nearby table, Michael Gehrmann was seen leaving the tournament area and had been eliminated.
