Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Raymond Henson opened the button to 2,100,000, and Sihao Zhang three-bet from the small blind. When it got back to Henson, he put all of his chips into the middle, and Zhang dropped in a chip to confirm the call.

Raymond Henson: A♦J♥ All in
Sihao Zhang: A♣9♣

Henson kept his lead on the 7♣10♥K♣ flop but was left drawing dead by the time the 10♣ landed on the turn as Zhang hit the nut flush. A meaningless 2♣ completed the board which confirmed Henson's elimination in twelfth.

Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Martin Ward, down to just a few big blinds, went all in for around 3 million on the button. Thomas Murphy reshoved from the small blind and Jolan Mancini gave up the big blind.

Martin Ward: K♦7♥
Thomas Murphy: K♥J♠

"Oh, that is bad," the Aussie quipped. He whipped out his phone and started recording the action.

"For the second time tonight, we get in it bad," he narrated.

The dealer then spread out a K♠3♥2♣ flop.

"That really helps," Ward pipped.

The dealer then dealt the J♥ on the turn to seal the hand for Murphy.

"That really helps," Ward said, deadpanned.

The river was the 10♥ and after a "that ends it," the Aussie graciously said his goodbyes to his fellow table mates. "Congratulations everyone, on making the final table."
