Kaiwan Fang Eliminated in 9th Place ($150,660); Manuel Pochat Eliminated in 10th Place ($119,160)
Kaifan Wang opened to 1,600,000 in late position and got a three-bet from Josh Reichard to 4,600,000. Manuel Pochat, in the small blind, decided to shove all-in for 16,100,000.
Wang asked for a count, then he went into deep thought. After a few seconds, he announced all-in as well for 24,400,000. With action back to him, Reichard asked for a count of Wang's chips. He then started calling off what possible hands each player could have.
He went into deeper thought, looking at his chips. Finally, he jammed the stack in his hand for a call heading to a three-way showdown.
Manuel Pochat: A♠7♠ 
Kaifan Wang: A♦K♦
Josh Reichard: J♥J♠
Reichard was ahead potentially eliminating two players. The flop came 2♠3♠7♦ maintaining Reichard's lead and leaving Wang to hit one of his overcards. Pochat still had hope with a flush draw on the flop.
The turn J♣ strengthened Reichard's hand with a set, leaving Wang drawing dead but making Pochat still pray for a spade to come. The river 10♦ ended it all as Reichard remained in the lead and ending both Wang' and Pochat's tournament run.
And in one hand the final table was reached.
