Yun Fan Eliminated in 17th Place ($26,864)

From the cutoff seat, Matthew Berkey opened the pot with a raise. We don't know how much it was, because it was already pulled in by the time we walked up. The reason? Yun Fan had three-bet shoved for an additional 411,000 from the big blind. Berkey would spend the next several minutes toying with the decision with an amused look on his face. After a long while, he plunked the calling chips into the pot, committing about 40% of his own chips. Cards up, gents:
Showdown
Berkey: 
Fan: 
The 
flop was no fun for Fan, and he needed to catch up in a hurry to stay alive. The turn 
was a blank, though, and so was the 
that filled out the board on fifth street. Fan can't win with the ace-jack, and this loss has cost him the rest of his chips. He's out in 17th place, and Berkey appears to have crept into the chip lead.
We badly need a color-up, though.
