Adrian Rarung Eliminated in 9th Place (AU$6,340/$4,345)

The remaining eight players are just one elimination away from the unofficial seven-handed final table, with Tam Truong flexing his monster stack to send Adrian Rarung to the rail.

Rarong sparked the action with a button raise with Truong re-popping from the small blind and then calling his opponent's shove and the cards were turned over.

Rarong was leading pre-flop and stayed in front on the flop. However, the turn gave Truong a pair, which was enough to send Rarong crashing out of the tournament in ninth place for an AU$6,340 payday, while Truong stacked up to ~1.85 million.

"I was feeling lucky," quipped Truong as he padded out his already ample stack still further and he now has more than double that of next closest rival Dinh Pham, who has a little over 600,000.
