With about 250K in the pot and the board reading , Ye Yao checked from middle position and Yan Jiang bet 100,000. Yao check-raised all in for 420,000 and Jiang thought about it for a minute before she called with the bigger stack.

Jiang:
Yao:

Jiang flopped top pair, both had a heart draw, but Yao’s was superior. He needed that or an ace to stay in the game, but blanked the river to exit in 21st place.

Yan Jiang – 1,260,000 (63 bb)
Ye Yao  –  Eliminated in 21st Place ($5,670)
