On the last hand of the level, Jacques Melki got all-in on the turn with a board of T T 6 9.  His KQ was nothing but a bluff with a gutshot.  Yue Zhu looked him up with which had turned the full boat.  Jacques was drawing dead, so the Jack on the river giving him a straight was just too little, too late.  He was busted in 17th place for $5,243.  Yue chipped up to more than 5.2 million.
