Christie Yau

James Giraldo raised to 12,000 in the hijack and Christie Yau called in the big blind.

The flop is 9c8s3d, Yau went all in for 94,000, and Giraldo thought for a little while before he called with Ah8c for a pair of eights. Yau showed As9d for a pair of nines.

The 6h turn and 3c river completed the board, safe for Yau to double up.

Christie Yau  –  221,000  (37 bb)
James Giraldo  –  158,000  (26 bb)

Hand-for-hand play was set to begin shortly after, but two eliminations came and the field was down to 89 players and in the money.

Flight E chip leaders will be posted shortly, and full chip counts through the five completed flight will be posted in about an hour.
