Daniel Lei Eliminated in 5th Place ($349,562)
Level 43
: Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante
Daniel Lei and Ashish Gupta got preflop shoves through, the latter via open shove with Q♠J♠ to narrowly pull ahead of Lei. Shortly thereafter, it folded to Lei in the small blind and he moved all-in for 47,500,000. Gupta glanced at his cards and called with the covering stack.
Daniel Lei: A♣10♥ 
Ashish Gupta: 8♥8♦
Gupta demanded to "squeeze the shit out of it, three side dot dot dot dot, all the combos you can get."
The classic flip went to Gupta on a board of 9♦9♠5♣8♠J♣ when the Aussie turned an unbeatable full house to score the knockout, then immediately went to his rail to celebrate. Lei had started the final day as one of the larger stacks but nothing went his way, as he bowed out in fifth place for $349,562.
