Another player in the dust with Kenji Hata sent packing by Zhang Jian. It was an all in shove preflop with Hata A♣ K♣ and Jian J♠ J♥. The board ran a dramatic 10♦ J♣ 5♣ for a set to Jian and a nut flush draw to Hata. With the turn 9♠ and river 7♥, Hata missed and Jian hugged in the pot.
With Hata’s elimination, we are down to 27 players. The players are now being shuffled into the last three tables.
