Jonathan Depa Eliminated in 6th Place (HKD$990,000)
Yifan Zheng opened for 20,000 from the cutoff and Jonathan Depa, who was the chip leader at the end of Day 3 with 25 players remaining, opted to move all in from the button for 230,000. Devan Tang then moved all in over the top from the small blind, which inspired Zheng to fold.
Tang:
Depa:
It was a classic flip, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Tang was a 56.65% favorite while Depa would survive 42.95% of the time. The flop paired Depa's king and made him a huge 87.07% favorite. Tang suddenly needed either a jack or running clubs to stay alive — something that would happen a mere 12.93% of the time.
The turn was a great card for Tang as it kept the latter option alive, and suddenly he had a 25% chance of eliminating Depa. Wouldn't you know it, the spiked on the river to give Tang the flush. Depa was clearly unsatisfied with the turn of events, but he had to console himself with HKD$990,000 for his sixth-place finish.
