Terrible River for Mao

In a blind versus blind situation, Michele Zullo in the small blind and Renji Mao discovered a flop of 7♣10♦5♣. After they agreed on 250,000 preflop, both of them added 100,000 to the pot.

But on the turn 3♥, Zullo decided to go all in for 1,200,000 chips. Mao when deep into the tank, but eventually called.

Michele Zullo: J♣8♣
Renji Mao: Q♣7♦

Mao called with the best hand. But the terrible 8♥ landed on the river, to give a better pair to Zullo.

Down to 125,000, Mao moved all in on the next hand from the small blind. He faced Zullo on the button and Dennis Magro in the big blind, who checked all the way through the board Q♠2♥4♦3♥4♠.

Renji Mao: 10♣2♣
Michele Zullo: A♦3♦
Dennis Magro: 8♦2♠

Mao didn't find any help, so he was eliminated just before the break.
