No sooner had Richard Zhu asked for a spectator to be thrown out of the final table area than he was all in pre-flop against James Dempsey. Dempsey had Zhu in this spot several times during the last hour, but Zhu managed to wriggle away every time. Their hands for this confrontation were:
Dempsey: 
Zhu: 
Dempsey and Zhu were both on their feet for a flop that came 
. Dempsey flopped a lock low hand.
"Now you can't lose," noted Sam Farha. Things got even better for Dempsey when the turn came 
to give him a wheel. He had to sweat one last river card, which blanked out harmlessly with the 
to finally end Zhu's tournament. He leaves in third place with $225,326 and, finally, the tournament is heads up.
