Commencing blinds 75,000/125,000 (125,000) Noman Mirza was the first to ship out in ninth place ($35,847) after moving all in for his last 750,000 with K♣7♣, but missed the nut flush draw on the board of 9♠A♣9♣4♦8♠, with Andreas Vasiliou making two pair holding A♥7♦.
Vasiliou was then on the wrong end of a massive three-way all-in pot before departing in eighth place, calling short with A♣9♦ after Ye shoved after a flop of 9♠7♦6♥, only for Ye to snap him off with K♦K♣, which turned a set as the board completed K♥, 10♠.
Shortly after the break, Ye eliminated Slav Rypinksi in seventh place, with Rypinksi ahead pre-flop holding A♦9♦ against Ye’s J♥10♣, but despite turning a pair on the board of 4♣K♥7♦9♣, Ye’s rail went off when the dealer peeled off the river 10♥.
Day 3 chip leader Gary Lin was then put to the sword by Mo Haidary, who made a move with 9♣3♣ and jagged two pair on the board of 5♥3♥K♥Q♦9♥ against Lin’s A♦2♣ to send him to the rail in sixth place.

Gary Lin In action leading to the heads-up phase, New Zealand’s Anita Savage jammed pre-flop from the button and found two callers in Ye and Josh Foster, who checked through a board of Q♦10♦7♦7♠ before Foster folded to Ye’s bet of 250,000 after the turn.
Ye rolled up Q♣8♥ for two pair, but although Savage was leading with K♠K♥, the Q♥ on the river was the proverbial dagger in the heart of 15/15 PLO Champion, ending her Main Event run in fifth place.
Ye then picked up the last of Foster’s chips after his 10♦9♦ flopped a straight and held on the board of Q♠J♠8♣4♣7♦ against Foster’s K♥2♠, resulting in a fourth place finish and a six-figure payday for the birthday boy.

Ben Richardson Ben Richardson then found a late rush to overtake Ye for the chip lead prior to the dinner break before eliminating Haidary in third, his A♦7♦ pairing up on the flop against Haidary’s K♣Q♠ on the runout of 8♦7♣4♠9♠2♥, but although the counts were virtually even between the pair, Ye took two big pots early to cut the Tasmanian down to as low as six big blinds.
From there, Richardson did manage to double through Ye three times before the final hand of the night played out before 10pm local time, with Sheng open-shoving with Q♦2♥ before Richardson undercalled with A♦5♦.
Both players paired up on the board of J♦6♠5♣Q♥8♣, but Ye’s hand was best and Richardson was consigned a runner-up finish, good for $238,978: his second-highest career cash behind his final table appearance in the 2018 Aussie Millions Main Event.
