Justin Fawcett
Justin Fawcett opened to 18,000,000 from the small blind, and Zhengyu Guan defended from the big. The two saw a flop of 9♠8♣6♣ and Fawcett continued for 12,000,000. He was practically beaten into the pot by Guan.
Fawcett continued for 16,000,000 on the J♥ turn, and again, Guan called quickly. Fawcett didn't slow down on the 3♠ river, blasting off for 35,000,000. Guan went deep into the tank, not helped by the incessant talking of Thai Dinh, who wasn't even in the hand. "I have 26,000,000," he told her. "Thank you," she replied, while still thinking. Eventually, she said, "Thirty-five? Okay, I call."
Justin Fawcett limped in from the small blind, only for Zhengyu Guan to raise to 15,000,000 from the big. Fawcett put in the call, bringing in the 3♣7♥3♦ flop.
Here, Fawcett checked it over to Guan, who speedily put out a bet of 14,000,000. Fawcett looked down to his chips, counted out 14,000,000, then announced "all in". Guan let go of her cards instantly, and Fawcett windmilled 9♣8♠ for pure air.
Delano Jackson moved all in from the cutoff with his 20,500,000 chips. Both Justin Fawcett in the small blind and Zhengyu Guan in the big blind, called.
After the flop hit 10♣8♦7♥, Fawcett moved all in. Guan folded, leaving Jackson's tournament life heads-up against Fawcett.
Delano Jackson: A♦J♠
Justin Fawcett: 7♦7♠
Fawcett had flopped a set of sevens. That hand held through the turn and river of 6♥5♦, knocking Jackson out of the tournament.
