Big congratulation for Rupert Elder! I absolutely enjoyed watch him playingm he is trually a poker pro and it's clear tournaments is his speciality. I actually saw him playing couple of times on different occassions and i was really impressed by his play style. As soon as i saw he made it to the last 24 players and then in the final 8 participants, i was almost sure in the end he will end on a really high place, first of second for sure. Also i would like to congratulate Xuan Liu, it was an excellent game he played too. For those that don't know she actually was on the shortest stack when sitting at the final table, and it recovered and ended in being in the third place.

Elder played some good
