Jiachen Gong Eliminated in 5th Place ($128,100)

Aug 11, 2020

After climbing up the ranks of this final table, Jiachen Gong wakes up with another pair of Heart ADiamond A.

He opens to 1.2 million on the cutoff and Nick Petrangelo wastes no time going all in with Diamond JDiamond 10 on the button. Gong calls and the flop comes Heart 7Club JHeart J and now Gong is the one who needs to hit.

The case Spade J on the turn ends all hopes with Petrangelo making quads and Gong’s aces-full not up to the task. the Club 7 river completes the board and Gong’s run comes to an end. It’s his second Championship final table after placing 7th in the 8-Max last week and he can console himself with a deeper run and bigger payday than in his previous result, though it seems more than likely he will remember that beat for some time to come.

Nick Petrangelo – 38 million
