Benny Glaser raised to 10,500 in the cutoff and Jiaming Zhao tossed in his final 18,000 chips in the big blind. A quick call followed and the cards were tabled.

Jiaming Zhao: K♣Q♣J♦7♣ All in
Benny Glaser: A♣5♥5♣2♥

Glaser flopped a set on 9♠5♦J♣, but Zhao turned some outs with the K♠.

The Q♠ river was no good, however, and the Chinese player, who started today only knowing no-limit hold'em, graciously said his goodbyes as the final table bubble.
