Sergey Lebedev Eliminated in 7th Place (HK$652,000)
The final table is now down to six with the departure of Russia’s Sergey Lebedev. Pre-flop it was Ben Lai who lit the blue touch paper with an early position open to 45,000 before Lebedev juiced it up to 120,000 from the button.
Neighbouring Jiang, sitting in the small blind reached for chips, but not for calling with and she three-bet to 350,000 in total. Lai quickly folded and action was back on Lebedev who quickly moved his remaining chips into the middle and was called instantly by Jiang.

The Russian was trailing to Jiang’s pocket rockets and found no help when the board ran out 
and hit the rail in seventh place for HK$652,000 (~US$84,760). All remaining six players are now guaranteed at least HK$895,000 (~US$116,350)
