Samuel Ju had committed his final few blinds in the big blind, while Mengshi Tian in middle position and Adrian Cazacu in the cutoff had built a side pot of 36,500.

The flop fell J72. Tian quickly check-folded to a bet of 20,000 from Cazacu, creating a showdown between Ju and Cazacu.

Samuel Ju: J10 All in
Adrian Cazacu: KJ

The 82 runout could not save Ju, who was forced to leave the field with his inferior kicker.

O'Dwyer Busts Amidst Argument With Smiljkovic

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

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

Steve O'Dwyer: JJ All in
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.

Song Over-Bet Jams to Demise

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Picking up the action on a completed board of 810JA5, Stephen Song put his stack of 44,200 into the pot of 30,500 for an all-in bet from early position.

His opponent was Samuel Ju in the cutoff, who weighed his options a while before reluctantly flicking in a call.

Song immediately stood up as he tabled K4 for king-high. Ju let out a sigh of relief as his AQ won the pot and sent Song to the rail.

"Fucking hell, what a day," Ju, who was on his third bullet of the day, exclaimed as he stacked up his chips.
