Jiang Catches Runners to Double
Niveau 30
: 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Action folded to Bruce Jiang in the cutoff who slid his last 375,000 into the middle. Peter Thai called in the small blind.
Bruce Jiang: J♦10♦
Peter Thai: Q♥7♦
The flop came 2♦4♠Q♦, giving Thai top pair and putting one foot out the door for Jiang. The 9♣ turn gave Jiang an open-ended straight draw and the 8♣ river completed the runner-runner nut straight for Jiang who survives another all in to double to 1,070,000.

Jiang Loosens Up The Table
Niveau 30
: 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Short-stacked Bruce Jiang went all-in from late position for 720,000. It folded to Peter Thai in the big blind and after looking at the dead money in the middle for a while he asked, "Do I have to double you again?", and made the call.
Bruce Jiang: A♠K♠
Peter Thai: J♥5♦
Thai was happy to have two live cards, but ultimately whiffed the board as it ran out 9♠8♣4♦3♥2♥.
As Jiang finished neatly stacking his chips, he took the moment to introduce himself to the table as a dealer at the Aria. The table then went around and said not only the career that brought them here but also where they travelled from. Unsurprisingly, there were several dealers and representatives from all over the world.
James Urbanic chimed in, "I'm still going to try to take your chips!" to which the table laughed and agreed.
Only a few hands later, Jiang went all-in in a three-way pot and show K♦Q♥ as a bluff.

Joe Pavan Eliminated in 8th Place ($7,337)
Niveau 31
: 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Bruce Jiang opened to 450,000 from middle position before action folded to Joe Pavan in the small blind who slid his remaining stack of 960,000 into the middle. Jiang called and both players turned their cards on their backs.
Joe Pavan: 6♠6♦
Bruce Jiang: 4♦4♥
The K♠2♥9♥ flop kept Pavan firmly in the lead as did the 8♠ turn. As a sizable dog, Jiang needed to find another set on the river to whittle the final table down to seven and he did exactly that, spiking the 4♠ and making a set on the river for the second time at tonight's final table.
The table let out a collective gasp as Pavan was eliminated in 8th place for $7,337.

Jiang Has It All The Way
Niveau 31
: 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Benson Tam raised in middle position and Bruce Jiang made the call. Both players saw the flop of A♠8♠4♠. Tam bet again. Jiang just called and the 6♣ landed on the turn. Benson bet 1,075,000 on the turn and this time Jiang went all-in for his remaining chips. Benson unenthusiastically made the call.
Bruce Jiang: A♥Q♠
Benson Tam: 7♥7♠
Tam needed to catch a seven or a five that wasn't a spade to pull ahead but the river was a brick and a massive pot was pushed to Jiang, who earlier this final table only had 375,000 left in chips.

Urbanic Fades the World for a Full Double
Niveau 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
James Urbanic opened to 400,000 from under the gun and Bruce Jiang called from the big blind to see a flop of 3♣9♠Q♦.
Jiang checked the action to Urbanic who bet out 375,000. Jiang counted out raising chips and slid out a check-raise worth 1,100,000 into the pot, putting Urbanic to a decision. After a brief moment, Urbanic announced all in for 3,485,000 total and Jiang thought about it while counting out calling chips before eventually making the call and putting Urbanic at risk.
James Urbanic: K♥K♣
Bruce Jiang: Q♠10♠
The turn came the K♠ giving a set to Urbanic but providing a lot of additional outs to Jiang. The 6♣ river was safe for Urbanic who doubled up back into the chip lead.
