After about 10 hands of hand-for-hand play – interrupted by a break in the middle – Xin Qi has been eliminated in 28th place in Event 4. Xin had been short for a few levels already but he came back from the break with under 3 BB and as the blinds came around to his position in Seat 5. He folded both of his blinds as well as the Cutoff and Hijack positions, but with just 14K remaining he called Graham Lupton’s preflop raise to get his last chips in the middle.

Graham: Ace of Clubs King of Clubs
Xin: King of Hearts Queen of Diamonds

The board started out pretty well for Xin when the 2 of Hearts 6 of Hearts Jack of Hearts were dealt, but the turn King of Diamonds and River Ace of Diamonds didn’t give Xin his flush and he was out of the tournament.

The rest of the players are now in the money and tournament staff has performed a full redraw with just 3 tables remaining. Play continues in level 19.
