Blaz Zerjav Eliminated in 2nd Place ($225,720)
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Lei Yu raised to 600,000 from the small blind, and Blaz Zerjav called in the big blind.
After the flop came 8?6?5? Zerjav checked to Yu, who bet out 800,000. Zerjav then raised to 2,400,000, and Yu instantly three-bet all in for Zerjav's remaining stack, which he snap called.
Blaz Zerjav: 8?7? 
Lei Yu: A?A?
Zerjav had flopped top pair and an open-ended straight draw, but would need to improve past Yu's pocket aces. The 8? on the turn did that as Zerjav made trips, but the 4? on the river gave Yu a flush to win the pot and eliminate Zerjav in second place.
