Wai King Cheung Eliminated in 7th Place for (TWD 273,000/$8,710)
After a few hands of pushing and shoving, with just two of them making it to a flop and no further, a big hand played out that saw start-of-day chip leader Wai King Cheung depart at the hands of the new table captain, Chou Chien Fa.
It was David Erquiaga who was the instigator, making it 100,000 to go from early position, before Cheung moved all-in from the button for 695,000 in total. Sitting in the big blind, Chou Chien Fa asked for a count, and then announced the call, with Erquiaga getting out of the way.

Cheung looked crestfallen to be in such bad shape, and his dreams of a first major title went up in smoke on the runout. Cheung departed in 7th Place for TWD 273,000 ($8,710), while Fa now has a commanding lead of 3.3 million.
