It was a rollercoaster three hands for Vasyl Chubei. First he doubled through Blake Whittington, then Whittington doubled through him on the next hand, and then he got his last 475,000 in on the next from the small blind.

Yan Jiang looked him up in the big and Chubei needed to hold.

Jiang: 9s8d
Chubei: Js6s

Chubei was ahead with his suited jack but Jiang took the lead on the Tc9c3h flop. Neither the 2c turn nor 2s river were any help for Chubei and he was eliminated in 8th place.

Tournament staff paused the clock to redraw seats at the final table.

Yan Jiang – 2,700,000 (27 bb)
Vasyl Chubei – Eliminated in 8th place ($6,600)
