Defending Champ Tommy Zhang Ends His Run

Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Kyle Arora opened to 120,000 from the button and was called by Michael Bahls in the small blind and Tommy Zhang in the big blind.
On the flop of 9x3x2x, Bahls checked, Zhang moved all in for his last 380,000, and Arora quickly called to put him at risk.
Zhang tabled Jx9x for top pair, but Arora held AxAx to put him in a tough spot. Unfortunately for Zhang, the runout could not save him and the defending champ ended his run in 20th place.
