Chou Eliminated by Shin in 19th place for TWD 73,500 ($2,345); Huang Eliminated in 18th for TWD 83,900 ($2,675)
Play has been paused for a redraw following two quick eliminations. The first saw the short-stacked Cliff Chou move all-in from the button with 
and get looked up by Jae Wook Shin with 
.
The 
flop was not a good one for Chou's pocket sevens, and the 
turn and 
river would be the last board he would see in the Main Event, departing in 19th place for TWD 73,500 while Shin stacked up to just over 1 million in chips.
Chou would not get lonely on the rail and was joined by Michael Huang almost immediately afterward following a clash of two premium hands against Chou Chien Fa.
All the chips went in preflop, with Fa opening the action with a raise, Huang three-betting, Fa four-betting and Huang five-bet shoving and getting called instantly.
Michael Huang: 
Chou Chien Fa: 
The board ran out 
and the field is now down to 17 players, who are being reshuffled over two tables.
