Yang Zhang Eliminated in 2nd Place (?116,535,000|$101,000)
The last hand of the tournament sent Yang Zhang to the rail, and he will have to settle with second place in the 2019 APPT Jeju Main Event. Huidong Gu have taken a big lead over his opponent, almost 10-to-1, and this is when the final hand happened.
Zhang Yang shoved from the button, and Huidong Gu tanked a little bit before announcing his call.
Yang Zhang: 
Huidong Gu: 
A coin-flip for Gu to claim the title, or for Yang to cover some ground in the heads-up battle. The flop was 
, and it gave an open-ended straight draw for Gu to add to his overcards as outs. The 
other indicated that a queen would do the job too, and indeed the 
fell on the river!
Gu's jack worked perfectly fine, as Yang's pocket pair got counterfeited by the board, and the tournament is over!
A full recap for the final day of the Main Event is about to arrive shortly.
