Tang Tian ��Terry�� Yuan Eliminated in 6th Place (HK$165,000)
As the shortest stack since before the departure of Luo Xi, Tang Tian Yuan has had his work cut out for him just treading water to survive. Down to a little over 10 big blinds, Yuan shoved three times in quick succession to build back up to 15 big blinds before a misstep against Taiwan��s Chung Yuan Yu saw Terry��s tournament come to and end.
Pre-flop it was Chung Yuan Yu who opened the action with a min-raise from under-the-gun plus one and Yuan tossed in the extras to take play heads-up to the 
flop.
Yuan checked it over to Yu, who continuation bet 30,000. It did not take Yuan long to move all-in for his last 140,000 and he was called instantly by Yu.
Tang Tian Yuan: 
Chung Yuan Yu: 
While Yuan had hit a piece of the flop he was still trailing to Yu��s pocket queens and with the board already paired he would need to hit one of the deck��s two remaining nines to survive, plus if he hit he would have to fade the deck��s two remaining queens.
In short, it did not look good and the 
turn was of no help. While the 
river looked like it should be helpful, Yu had a higher two pair and edged into the chip lead as Yuan headed for the cash desk to collect his HK$165,000.
