Ying Zhang Eliminated in 10th Place (A$6,000); Wiremu Moodie Eliminated in 11th Place (A$6,000)
Ying Zhang shoved for 2,350,000 from the hijack and after mulling it over for a while, Wiremu Moodie called off his stack of 2,275,000 from the small blind. Michael O'Grady, who held a monster stack, was sitting in the big blind and contemplating making the call to try and bring around the final table.
After thinking it over for around a minute, O'Grady called, which drew a crowd of spectators around the table who wanted to watch the three-way pot unfold.
Wiremu Moodie: K♦J♦
Ying Zhang: 8♥8♠
Michael O'Grady: Q♥3♥
Zhang and Moodie were both on the prowl for a triple-up, but O'Grady was screaming for a queen as he attempted to bring the night to an end. His screams were heard by the poker gods as the Q♣6♣5♥ flop gave him top pair and made him a big favorite in the hand.
Moodie wanted a king, but it was Zhang who picked up more outs on the turn as the 7♠ gave him an open-ended straight draw, which added to the drama. However, it was O'Grady's hand that prevailed as the 10♠ river bricked off, ending both Moodie and Zhang's tournament.
