Jie Gao has been eliminated in 19th place as he was all-in holding Ace of Diamonds King of Diamonds and called by Jonathan Jaffe who held the Ace of Spades King of Hearts. The flop of Jack of Clubs 4 of Spades 10 of Spades suddenly made even-strength hands anything but, as Jaffe was freerolling for the flush. The turn King of Spades brought that possibility closer and the Jack of Spades on the river made it 100% – Jaffe hit the flush, and Jie Gao was out of the tournament.

19th place: Jie Gao, $20,240
