After some preflop back-and-forth betting, Weiping Gu makes it 20,500 to go and Rami Hammoud moves all in for 80,100.

Having recently doubled up another player, this bet covers Gu and he goes into the tank to weigh his options. 

After a few moments, he slides out a stack of chips to make the call, putting himself at risk

Gu then tables Heart 10Diamond 10, but needs to improve against the Heart QSpade Q of Hammoud to stay alive. 

Unfortunately for him, the runout of Diamond JHeart 8Club 2Diamond 6Spade K fails to do so and the former chip leader is sent to the rail.

Rami Hammoud – 157,000 (262 bb)
Weiping Gu – Eliminated
