Hand #205: Guowei Zhang raised from the button. Max Silver three-bet from the small blind, and Mickey Craft four-bet all in for 120,000. Both Zhang and Silver called.

The remaining two active players checked down the {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades} board, and all cards were exposed.

Zhang: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Craft: {k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Silver: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Zhang's king-high was marginally better than Craft's, meaning the latter was eliminated in third place. He took home $69,789 for his efforts.

Play is now heads-up, with both Guowei Zhang and Max Silver taking a short break.
