Jiacong Zhang Eliminated in 20th Place ($18,225)

Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Clemen Deng raised to 160,00 when it folded to him in the cutoff. When it folded to the big blind Jiacong Zhang, he three-bet all in for 900,000. After contemplating his decision, Deng made the call.
Jiacong Zhang: 9?9?
Clemen Deng: K?J?
Zhang was ahead with his pocket nines but had to fade the over cards of Deng. He was able to do so on the 5?8?Q? flop, but the J? on the turn put Deng ahead with a pair of jacks. When the 4? hit on the river, it officially eliminated Zhang in 20th place.
