Yuan Hang Zhong Eliminated in 9th Place ($12,000); Tom Dwan Eliminated in 8th Place ($12,000)
Level 18
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Tom Dwan raised to 175,000 first to act and earned calls from both players in the blinds in Ge Zhong and Yao Xiao. The flop came K♦4♦3♠ and it checked to Dwan, who bet 325,000. Zhong then jammed for 1,210,000 and Xiao asked for a count before he called by tossing in a single chip.
Dwan sighed but also got his 1,425,000 into the middle as well.
Ge Zhong: K♣Q♣ 
Tom Dwan: A♠A♥
Yao Xiao: 4♣3♣
The bottom two pair held on the 2♠ turn and 6♣ river runout to reduce the field to seven. Zhong and Dwan both receive $12,000 for their efforts.
