Xin Tang: A?K? 
Maxime Chilaud: A?J?
Tang had Chilaud dominated with the bigger ace and only an unfortunate turn or river would end his tournament. The Q? fell on the turn to give Chilaud a flush draw. The K? fell on the river to give Chilaud the winner with the nut flush. Chilaud pulled in the pot and Tang was the first eliminated at the final table.
