Yin Zhang Eliminated in 3rd Place ($66,686)

Sep 1, 2020

Back to back hands have proved to be Yin Zhang’s undoing. First of all, they open-shoved on the button for 25 big blinds with Heart 5Diamond 5 and got a call from Kim Heidemann who had an over-pair of Spade 8Heart 8 in the small blind. The board held for Heidemann and that loss left Zhang with just 93.2 million.

The next hand, they called following an all in from Luiz De Melo blind on blind. De Melo was live with Heart 7Diamond 5 but he needed to hit and managed to do so on the Club 3Club 2Diamond 4Heart 10Diamond 7 board.

Zhang has done incredibly well to make it this far but his exit means that we are heads up for the Championship!

Luiz De Melo – 1.06 billion
Kim Heidemann – 528.8 million
Yin Zhang – Eliminated
