Queenstown Best Game Prize

At the prize giving for the Queenstown International, the Best Game Prize was awarded to Gawain Jones. It was a reasonably substantial prize of $700, donated by Grant Kerr. However some people weren't sure what game it was for, which possibly indicates that Gawain played more than one brilliant game in the tourney.
However the game he did receive it for was his round 6 win over WGM Irine Sukandar, and here it is.
