Tom Rafferty Eliminated in 14th Place (AU$26,729 /~$18,285)
It took just two hands after the break to thin the field, with Tom Rafferty moving all-in from under-the-gun plus one for 1.2 million. Action folded around to button John Zwaine who looked seriously tempted but eventually mucked.
It looked as though Zwaine dodged a bullet there though, with Steven Zhou calling immediately in the small blind, with big blind Lior Segre folding to take play heads-up with Rafferty the man at risk.

Steven Zhou: 
Rafferty was in bad shape, and according to Zwaine, he had also folded ace-jack, which is not what you want to hear when you are all-in.
The run out came 
and despite picking up a gutshot draw on the turn, Rafferty could not get there and departed in 14th place for AU$26,729 while Zhou stacked up to 5.1 million to draw almost level with chip leader Edwin Chiu.
