Steve O'Dwyer got in his stack of 78,500 from the big blind against chipleader Mengshi Tian, who sat in the hijack.

Mengshi Tian: AQ

Tian paired up on the A53 flop, and O'Dwyer's jacks could not catch up on the 6Q runout as Tian rivered two pair.

O'Dwyer gave the table a friendly pat before turning his attention to Daniel Smiljkovic, who was seated at the same table.

O'Dwyer was not happy with Smiljkovic being allowed to be seated past the deadline of the start of Level 11, implying he registered too late on purpose.

"I'll make sure the whole world will know the shit you're pulling," O'Dwyer stated.

Smiljkovic just sat with a grin on his face, eventually telling O'Dwyer, "I think you should retire. It might be better," as O'Dwyer left the tournament area.
