Gu Departs in 19th Place

Zhenyu Gu was the tournaments shortest stack and has just wandered past the media desk to collect the HK$71,000 on offer for 19th place.

One of the tournament staff congratulated Gu on making the money but the Chinese player did not look all that thrilled about busting, to be honest, so we’re not sure ‘Congratulations sir!’ is really what you want to hear when you have just been unceremoniously ejected from the running.

There are now 18 left and there has been yet another redraw, which we will endeavor to bring you shortly.
