Christian Roberts raises to 200,000 from under the gun, Qiang Xu calls in the hijack, Glen Keogh three-bets to 850,000 in the small blind, Roberts calls, and Xu calls.

The flop is Heart QClub JClub 7, Keogh continues for 550,000, and Roberts calls. Xu raises to 1,400,000, Keogh calls, and Roberts calls.

The turn is the Spade 9, Keogh checks, Roberts checks, and Xu bets 2,200,000. Keogh folds, Roberts raises all in with a covering stack, and Xu calls all in for about 4,600,000 total with Diamond JHeart J for a set of jacks.

Roberts, however, tables Club QHeart Q for a set of queens.

The river is the Club 3, no help to Xu, ending his tournament in 44th place. Roberts, meanwhile, surges into the chip lead again.
