Level 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Branden Shimamoto raised to 1,200,000 from the cutoff and Sihao Zhang defended the big blind. On a 6♥5♠4♠ flop, Zhang opted to lead out for 950,000 and Shimamoto called.

The turn was the 8♣ and Zhang kept up the aggression with a bet of 2,600,000. Shimamoto called another street to see the A♣ roll off on the river. Zhang emptied the clip with a bet of 4,000,000 and Shimamoto called it off after some thought.

Zhang indicated Shimamoto was good and the latter revealed K♣K♦. Zhang didn't show and mucked his hand.

Level 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

The action folded to Sihao Zhang in the small blind who shoved all in, and Diogo Cardoso called for his remaining stack of around 2,500,000 from the big blind.

Diogo Cardoso: J♠9♠ All in
Sihao Zhang: K♥3♣

Cardoso had the shortest stack on the table and needed to make a move to climb up the ranks but never connected with the 2♠5♣Q♥Q♣A♠ runout which meant he was eliminated in tenth.

Level 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Kenny Huynh opened to 4,000,000 and after Sihao Zhang shoved from the button, Huynh called off the remainder of his stack which totaled 7,250,000.

Kenny Huynh: Q♣10♣ All in
Sihao Zhang: K♣K♦

Huynh was at a major risk of being the second player eliminated on the final table but pulled a rabbit out of the hat after he flopped trips on the 6♥Q♦Q♥8♣J♠ runout to crack the Cowboys of Zhang.

Level 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Luke Varrasso raised to 1,300,000 from early position, Kenny Huynh three-bet to 2,700,000 in middle position, and Varrasso called. The flop was K♥10♦4♥ and Varrasso check-called 2,300,000 from Huynh. The 5♠ on the turn got checked by both players.

The river was the J♦ and Varrasso shoved all in, putting Huynh to the test for his remaining 10,700,000 in chips. The bracelet winner sunk back in his chair and briefly pondered before sliding in the call.

Varrasso slammed A♥Q♦ onto the felt for the rivered Broadway, Huynh flashed A♠A♣ and was eliminated.
