Phillip Hui Eliminated in 12th Place ($5,054)
Yufei Zhong opened from the cutoff and was met by a three-bet from Christopher Heafner out of the small blind. Phillip Hui called in the big blind as did Zhong.
On the first draw Heafner took two, Hui stood pat and Zhong drew three. Heafner then checked to Hui, who moved all in. Zhong made the call to officially put Hui at risk and Heafner followed suit.
Heafner drew another two on the second draw, Hui stood pat again and Zhong took two. Heafner then check-raised a bet from Zhong, who in turn responded with a re-raise. Far from dissuading Heafner, he actually came back over the top of Zhong's raise. Zhong ended the button clicking at that point by just calling.
The final draw saw Heafner stand pat, Hui drew one, and Zhong decline the option to take more cards. Heafner and Zhong both showed 
while Hui, up against the second nuts, was somehow still drawing live holding . He could not find the necessary five, however, instead turning over , sending him home in 12th Place, good for $5,054.
