Moustafa Haidar Eliminated in 10th Place (AU$32,798/~$22,435)
The final table bubble burst in dramatic fashion, with Moustafa Haidar the man to come up just short of a seat at the nine-handed official final with Edwin Chiu the man to bring Haidar's Main Event run to an end.
It was Adrian Attenborough who instigated the countdown to Haidar's exit with a raise to 160,000 from the cutoff, with Chiu three-betting to 450,000 from the button. Haidar peeked down at his cards in the small blind and moved all-in for 1.35-million in total.
Attenborough quickly folded and Chiu thought it over for close to 30-seconds before choosing to make the call and it was off to the races.
Moustafa Haidar: 
Edwin Chui: 
It was Chiu with the ace-queen for a change and Haidar held the fish hooks with the sweatiest of sweaty flops coming down 
to give Haidar top set and Chiu the nut flush draw to appreciative 'ooohhs!' and 'aaahhs!' from the rest if the table.
Sensing the excitement, the watching rail crowded around and Haidar was on his feet calling for a brick. The dealer flipped over the 
turn to ratchet the tension up to almost unbearable levels and paused over the last card...
"Hold!" shouted Haidar, but with a snapping sound like the crack of a whip the dealer slapped down the 
river and Haidar's tournament was done. Haidar headed off to collect the AU$32,798 on offer for 10th place, while Chiu edged back into the chip lead, stacking up to 6,335,000 after the hand, with play concluding immediately afterwards.
