Sunny Zhang has just bowed out at the hands of the chip leader Kwan Kit Kwok. The hand began with Zhang raising it to 40,000 from the button and was called by Kwok. Both watched the board table a 6 K 10, and Kwok checked to Zhang who moved all in for 400,000. Kwok made the huge call with second pair.

At the showdown it was Kwok ahead with 10 7 against Zhang’s J 9. Zhang however had a lot of outs, he had a straight flush draw, plus a few jack outs. With the turn of 4 and river of A, Kwok averted all the outs and eliminated Zhang in 3rd place.
