David Pham Eliminated in 8th Place (A$41,000)
Level 26
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Steven Zhou made it 250,000 to go from middle position and David Pham shipped in his stack of 1,200,000 from the big blind. Zhou called.
David Pham: Q♦9♦ 
Steven Zhou: A♣J♣
Pham took a stand from the big blind against Zhou and found himself an underdog going to the runout. A flop of A♠7♣8♠ all but sealed the deal for Pham, but suddenly he saw a way out as the 10♥ on the turn gave him an open-ended straight draw. Unfortunately, the 10♣ river couldn't complete his draw, ending Pham's run in 8th.
