Alexander Goulder raised to 8,000,0000 on the button and Yilu Yuan shoved his 38,100,000 into the middle from the small blind. Goulder thought it over for a while before making the call to try and get this tournament heads-up.
Yilu Yuan: A♦8♦
Alexander Goulder: K♥7♥
Yuan was ahead, but Goulder had eliminated all but two of the players so far on this final table. The flop came down K♠9♣3♠ to put Goulder in the lead with a pair of kings. The 7♣ turn meant Yuan was drawing dead to the two pair of Goulder. An inconsequential A♣ hit the river and the tournament was now heads-up.
From the button, Alexander Goulder raised to 8,000,000 and Yilu Yuan called from the small blind.
Yuan led out for 7,500,000 on the 3♠6♦3♥ flop. Goulder called to see the A♦ land on the turn, and both players checked.
The 6♠ river checked through and Yuan turned over 9♣8♣, playing the board. Goulder showed 5♥5♦ and took down the pot.

Alexander Goulder min-raised from under the gun and only Emad Ghadamian defended out of the big blind.
The flop came down 10♣5♣8♦ and Ghadamian checked. Goulder fired out a bet of 9,000,000, and Ghadamian check-shoved for 31,650,000. Goulder quickly called.
Emad Ghadamian: J♥9♣
Alexander Goulder: Q♦10♥
Goulder was ahead with top pair against the straight draw of Ghadamian. The 4♣ hit the turn, and the K♥ landed on the river. Ghadamian missed his draw and was out, and now just three players remained.
Alexander Goulder raised to 6,000,000 from the button and David Vinayagamoorthy defended from the big blind.
The flop of 9♦6♠10♣ checked through for the 9♣ to hit the turn. Vinayagamoorthy led out for 7,000,000, which Goulder called.
The river was the 8♣ and Vinayagamoorthy led out again, this time for 3,500,000. Goulder quickly called and Vinayagamoorthy turned over 9♠7♦ for a rivered straight. Goulder mucked J♥9♥ for trip nines.
Emad Ghadamian raised the button to 6,000,000 and Jakub Sterba shoved for 14,600,000 from the small blind. Ghadamian instantly called.
Jakub Sterba: A♠3♣
Emad Ghadamian: A♥A♦
Sterba had ran into Ghadamian's bullets, and was unable to pull off a miracle on the 6♠J♦7♠10♦2♦ runout, meaning he was out in fifth.
