Tony Cheng Eliminated in 7th (HKD $160,000)

China's Yang Wang won two back-to-back pots; the first saw him defend his big blind against a late position Albert Paik open to 22,000 and the flop fell . Wang checked, Paik bet 22,000 and Wang check-raised to 72,000, showing down for a big combo draw when Paik folded.

There were fireworks the next hand, however, with the action folding around to Yang in the small blind the very next hand. Wang shoved and Cheng had a decision to make. The Hong Kong player eventually decided to make the call for his tournament life and the card were turned over.

Tony Cheng:
Yang Wang:

Cheng was at-risk but held the narrowest of narrow leads. This all but disappeared on the flop, which saw Wang pull ahead with middle pair and a straight draw to Cheng's bottom pair. The turn brought Cheng no help, and neither did the river meaning there are now six players left. Cheng took home HKD $160,000 for his seventh-place finish.
