Lei Zhang

Hand #78: Shintaro Sato raised to 1,000,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 3,500,000 by William Li in the small blind. Lei Zhang then four-bet shoved for his last 8,700,000 in the big blind and Sato also shoved for 30,000,000.

Li, who had 19,000,000 behind, tanked and then folded Q Q to set up a showdown betweeen Zhang and Sato.

Lei Zhang: T T

Shintaro Sato: J J

What would have been a clash between three premium hands ended with the best hand hitting the muck and Zhang facing elimination against Sato's jacks.

The board ran out 3 2 6 K 3 — leaving Sato best and eliminating Zhang in fourth place.
