Yuefeng Pan

Hand #1: Shintaro Sato raised to 500,000 from the cutoff and Yuefeng Pan called all in for his last 25,000 on the button. Everyone else got out of the way and Pan found his tournament life on the line on the first hand of play.

Yuefeng Pan: 6 4

Shintaro Sato: Q 9

Pan's cards were live, but the A Q 8 flop gave Sato a pair of queens and left Pan drawing to runner-runner.

It wasn't meant to be, as the 9 turn left him drawing dead and the 7 made his elimination in ninth place official.
