Last year, Kenny Wong finished second in this very event for AUD$1,000,000. Wong has been impressive in this year's event, but his hopes of back-to-back final tables came to an end just prior to the break.
It happened when the under-the-gun player opened for 24,000 and Wong three-bet to 75,000 from the button. James Obst responded by four-betting to 136,000 from the small blind, the original raiser folded, and Wong moved all in for 405,000. Obst called and was dominated.
Obst: 
Wong: 
Wong was primed to double to more than the chip average and put himself in serious contention to make a run at the title, but the 
flop robbed him of that as Obst spiked a set. Wong was clearly disappointed and was up out of his seat even before the 
turned. That meant Wong needed a jack on the river to survive, but he was left wanting as the 
blanked.
Wong, who did an interview with PokerNews earlier today, was eliminated from the tournament in 28th place.

Stuart Kerr open-shoved all in for his last 90,000 or so on the button. Dan Shak looked him up from the big blind, and the hands were opened.
Kerr: 
Shak: 
"I'm just happy to have live cards," Stuart said.
The flop fell 
, giving Shak a large lead, and it was all over when the turned. A meaningless 
completed the board, and Stuart, who started the day with just 97,000 chips, hit the rail in 27th place.

Keeton:

and Keeton took his leave in 26th place for AUD$35,000.
