HAND #66  –  Chipleader Sheng Ye moves all in from the small blind, and Josh Foster thinks for about 30 seconds before he calls all in from the big blind for 1,875,000 with Heart KSpade 2.

Ye turns over Diamond 10Diamond 9, and Foster needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board comes Spade QSpade JClub 8Club 4Diamond 7, and Ye flops a queen-high straight to win the pot and eliminate Foster in fourth place.

Sheng Ye  –  21,000,000  (84 bb)
Josh Foster  –  Eliminated in 4th Place  (AUD $132,048 / ~US $89,396)
