Tuan Le Eliminated in 9th Place (£7,300)
Level 28
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Tuan Le opened to 125,000 in early position, Yiannis Liperis three-bet to 350,000 on the button, and Le called.
The flop came 5♣6♣Q♥ and Liperis continued for 275,000. Le then raised to 800,000 and Liperis called to the 5♠ turn.
Le then moved all in for 1,700,000 and Liperis snap-called, creating a nearly 6,000,000-chip pot between the players who began the hand first and second on the leaderboard.
Le showed A♠Q♣ for two pair, but Liperis had K♦5♦ and had spiked trips on the turn. Le was down to just two outs heading to the river, but no miracles arrived on the 6♥ and Le's tournament came to a crashing end.
