Lei Zhang raised 325,000 leaving 25,000 behind, and big blind Kunal Patni called thinking it was an all in and showed his hand. When the flop ran K ♠️ J ♥️ 3 ♥️, Patni put Zhang all in who opted to preserve his last chips.

The next hand, Zhang put his last 25,000 in with 10 ♠️ 7 ♣️, Vage Vaganian called the big blind, then Patni successfully isolated with a 350,000 raise turning over A ♣️ J ♠️.

The board ran A ♠️ 7 ♥️ 4 ♣️ Q ♦️ 5 ♠️. Zhang was eliminated in 17th place.
