Mark Zhang

Ash Chehata limped his button, Stephen Song completed his small blind, and Mark Zhang raised to 320,000 from the big. Chehata called and Song moved all in.

Zhang quickly called at risk and Chehata seriously considered joining to make a three-way pot. He elected to fold and the hands were flipped up.

Song: Ah5h
Zhang: Qd9d

Zhang was behind but drawing live until Song made trip fives on the 6d5d5s board. Zhang had a diamond draw but blanked the 4h turn and 8h river to exit in third place.

Stephen Song – 3,480,000 (44 bb)
Ash Chehata – 10,600,000 (133 bb)
Mark Zhang  –  Eliminated in 3rd Place ($80,260)
