Gheba Eliminates Mao

Renji Mao opened to 80,000 from under the gun before Daniyal Gheba chose to re-raise to 315,000 out of the big blind.

Mao shoved for approximately 1,205,000 and was called by Gheba to be at risk.

Renji Mao: Q♦Q♠ All in
Daniyal Gheba: A♣K♠

Mao and Gheba were in a classic race as Mao aimed to have his queens hold against the overcards of Gheba.

Mao's optimism faded when the 5♠8♦K♠ flop upgraded Gheba to a pair of kings.

The A♥ turn improved Gheba to two pair, and the 5♦ river was not one of Mao's two outs as he was eliminated.
