Qiang Fu Eliminated in 4th Place (AU$105,735/~$72,140)

After a slight lull, the action picked right back up with the elimination of Qiang Fu. It was Roger Teska the man to light the fuse in the hand that would blow Fu out of the tournament, though it was Jonathan Karamalikis the man to send him to the rail in what would prove to be a brutal bust out.

Teska sparked the action with a 25,000 raise from the cutoff and Qiang Fu three-bet all-in for a little over 250,000 from the button. Jonathan Karamalikis peeked down at his how cards and four-bet shoved and Teska took the hint and got out of the way.

Fu was the at risk player but had the dominating hand, much to the chagrin of Karamalikis' watching rail. The flop was of no help, taking away one of Karamalikis' ace outs as that would give Fu the nut flush.

However, the spades came down on the turn to whoops from the Australian cheerleaders and the river would be the last card Fu would see in the tournament.

"That's a brutal way to go," said Karamalikis as he shook Fu's hand, and the latter could only agree, shaking his head sadly as he headed off to collect the AU$105,735 for fourth., while Karamalikis climbed to 550,000 after the hand.
