Chien-Hui Chiang Eliminated in 9th Place ($15,595 AUD); Benjamin French Eliminated in 8th Place ($19,700 AUD)

Chien-Hui Chiang moved all in for approximately 1,200,000 on the button and was called by Chester Swords in the small blind. Benjamin French peeked down at his hole cards and went deep into the tank from the big blind before eventually announcing he was also all in for about 2,000,000 total. Swords snap-called and a three-way showdown was called.

Chien-Hui Chiang: K♦9♠ All in
Benjamin French: J♥J♦ All in
Chester Swords: A♣A♦

"I knew it when you just called!" French said in disappointment after seeing Swords' aces.

The K♠8♠5♣ flop improved Chiang to a pair of kings and the 6♣ turn gave him further outs with a straight draw, but the 10♦ river was a total brick — leaving Swords best with his assassins to score a double knockout on the final table.

Since he had the shortest stack, Chiang was eliminated in ninth place while French was eliminated in eighth place.
