Cheong Cheok Leng Eliminated in 5th Place (HKD617,000/$78,600)
The final table has gone from six players to four in short order, with Macau's Cheong Cheok Leng falling at the hands of a rampant Steve O'Dwyer.
It was Leng who started things off pre-flop with a raise to 25,000 from the cutoff, with O'Dwyer making the call from the big blind and the flop came down .
This saw O'Dwyer check the action over to Leng, who continuation bet 30,000 with 215,000 behind. The action was back on O'Dwyer who hit the think tank before moving all-in for 380,000. Leng thought it over as it was a big call for his tournament life but did make it and the cards were flipped over.
