Yuan Hang Zhong Eliminated in 9th Place ($12,000); Tom Dwan Eliminated in 8th Place ($12,000)
Level 18
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Tom Dwan raised to 175,000 first to act and earned calls from both players in the blinds in Ge Zhong and Yao Xiao. The flop came K?4?3? and it checked to Dwan, who bet 325,000. Zhong then jammed for 1,210,000 and Xiao asked for a count before he called by tossing in a single chip.
Dwan sighed but also got his 1,425,000 into the middle as well.
Ge Zhong: K?Q? 
Tom Dwan: A?A?
Yao Xiao: 4?3?
The bottom two pair held on the 2? turn and 6? river runout to reduce the field to seven. Zhong and Dwan both receive $12,000 for their efforts.
