Hand #76: Matthew Wakeman raised to 160,000 first to act and Clinton Taylor three-bet to 300,000 on the button, Wakeman jammed for 2,670,000 and Taylor called.

Matthew Wakeman: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Clinton Taylor: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

The board came {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Wakeman was eliminated in 5th place and received a payday of AU$380,300.

"I just want to say thanks a lot, it has been a pleasure playing with you," Taylor said when he shook hands with Wakeman.

"Honestly, I think this is the second-best if not the best tournament of the world," Wakeman added and expressed his gratitude towards the structure and staff at Crown.

In his interview of the elimination, Wakeman admitted that things had not gone his way prior to the final hand and the lead out to that already did a lot of the damage prior to the setup hand.
