Yang Wang Eliminated in 4th Place ($731,819)

Level 30
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

David Eldridge opened to 1,200,000 on the button holding J?10?7?7? and then called after Yang Wang three-bet to 3,800,000 out of the small blind with A?K?Q?5?.
Wang moved all in following the 10?J?6? flop and Eldridge snapped off with top two pair.
Yang Wang: A?K?Q?5?
David Eldridge: J?10?7?7?
Wang would need to make a straight to survive but the turn came J? to improve Eldridge to a full house, thus rendering the 6? river meaningless as Wang made his way to the payout desk in 4th place.
