Zhihao Cao Eliminated in 5th Place ($28,250)

Blinds: 300,000/600,000

In a battle of the blinds, Dylan Nguyen and Zhihao Cao got into a raising war preflop, that saw all of Cao’s chips go into the middle. Nguyen showed down [As][Ac], and Cao shook his head as he showed [10c][10h] for a tough blind vs blind short handed cooler.

The flop of [7h][7c][6c] gave Cao a glimmer of hope for some backdoor outs,  but the [3h] turn and [4h] river sealed his fate. Nguyen increases his chip lead after that pot as we are now four handed.
