Xiaoyao Ma Eliminated in 5th Place ($39,428)

Livello 18 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Xiaoyao Ma jammed for 1,035,000 from the hijack and the action folded to Mike Leah in the big blind. Leah peeled one card as he announced he had a 'four-side', meaning a nine or a ten. He looked at his second card and then told the table he'll need a minute. About 40 seconds passed as he eyed the other stacks on the table and eventually made the call.

Xiaoyao Ma: K♣J♦ All in
Mike Leah: K♦10♣

"I knew it was close," Leah said as he saw the cards.

The A♦5♥2♦ flop changed nothing, but the 10♦ turn was a money card for Leah as he paired his ten and picked up a flush draw. The A♣ paired the board on the river, and Ma stood up from the table.

Chance Kornuth raised to 200,000 from the cutoff. Mike Leah three-bet to 700,000 from the button. Kormuth called and they headed to the flop.

Kornuth check-called a bet of 525,000 on the 4♦9♦Q♥ flop.

Both players checked the 10♣ turn to see the Q♣ hit the river. The action checked through again and Kornuth announced "three pair" to which Leah responded with "me too". Kornuth turned over 10♥9♥ for queens and tens, which won him the pot as Leah mucked, much to the amusement of the table.

Filipp Khavin: A♠Q♣ All in
Mike Leah: A♦K♣

Khavin ran into a bigger ace and couldn't find a queen as the dealer ran out the 7♣6♠3♣8♠7♦ board.

Mike Leah raised to 225,000 from the hijack. Xiaoyao Ma called on the button, and Kannapong Thanarattrakul defended out of the big blind.

Action checked to Ma on the A♣7♣10♠ flop, and he bet 275,000. Thanarattrakul called, but Leah folded.

Both players checked the 2♣ on the turn to see the 3♠ appear on the river. Thanarattrakul fired out a bet of 1,000,000, and Ma snap-called. Thanarattrakul showed 6♣4♣ for a flush to win the pot.

Livello 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The action folded around to Xiaoyao Ma in the small blind and he announced all-in. Ian Hamilton looked down as his cards in the big blind and snap-called his 660,000.

Ian Hamilton: K♣J♣ All in
Xiaoyao Ma: 9♦8♣

The 10♣9♠2♦ flop gave Ma a pair to take the lead but Hamilton still had plenty of outs with a gutshot straight draw and two over cards. However, the 3♦ turn and A♣ river were no help as he exited the tournament in seventh place.
