Wang Bust Out Sets Up Final Table
The elimination of Benjamin Wu took play down to 8-handed meaning the remaining players were hand-for-hand on the bubble.
An increasingly active Fedor Holz raised almost every hand and hoovered up every chip not nailed down before Zuo Wang took a stand and called all-in for his tournament life from the big blind after Holz moved all-in from the small blind. However, as a hand was in progress over on the other table both players had to wait before the cards were turned over.
Gabe Patgorski had just three-bet shoved on Xuan Tan over on the other table and while Tan took his time about it the Chinese player eventually found the fold meaning the action was back on Holz and Wang.

Fedor Holz:
While Wang held the best hand he was the at risk player and Holz immediately paired his two when the flop came down . The turn and river gave Wang no help and he headed for the rail in 8th place empty handed while all remaining seven players are now guaranteed an HK$386,000 (~$49,464) payday.
