Action folded around to Xuan Tan in the small blind. Tan asked to see how many chips short-stacked Dong Guo had, Guo moved his chips in front of his cards, and the floor was called, thinking Guo's gesture was an aggressive action.
Guo stated that he was just trying to show what he had left. Tan made things easy by placing a stack of chips in the middle, signaling a raise worth more than Guo had behind.
Guo, who had just a couple big blinds, said "OK," and pushed his chips forward.
Guo: 
Tan:
The board ran out 
and, with that, Guo was eliminated and an unofficial final table of nine has been set.
Guo received HK$291,300 for his 10th-place finish.
