Wozniak Picks Up Aces to Take Out Zhao

Level 6 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante
Mateusz Wozniak
Mateusz Wozniak

Andreas Tomazou raised to 3,500 in early position before Gang Zhao moved all in for his last 9,400 in middle position. Mateusz Wozniak reraised to 20,000 on the button and Tomazou called.

The flop came J?5?4? and Wozniak bet 14,000, forcing Tomazou out of the pot.

Gang Zhao: A?7?
Mateusz Wozniak: A?A?

Zhao needed a miracle against Wozniak's aces but none arrived on the J? turn or 8? river as he headed for the exit.

Warm Up runner-up Abdullah Alajmi has also been eliminated, while Andrea Dato busted his second bullet of the day.
