Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Gerald Heath saw action folded to him in the small blind and he put Li Shen all in for his last 345,000. Shen called.

Li Shen:
Gerald Heath:

Shen was ahead going to the flop but quickly found himself in need of help as came onto the board to give Heath two pair. Shen now would need to hit a six for a gutshot or running cards for a better two pair or trips. The turn and river provided him no such help and he wound up finishing the tournament in seventh place.

Wai Ngai went all in for 830,000 from early position and saw Yao Yin reraise all in from middle position. All remaining players folded and the two were off to the races.
