Two players went to the flop which fell QK4.

With well over 400,000 already in the middle, the small blind checked to Nozomu Shimizu, who put out a bet of around 160,000.

The small blind folded without fuss, and Shimizu flashed two red aces before pulling in the chips.

Smith Moves Up in the Counts

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A player in middle position went all in for about 140,000 and Tyler Smith, on his direct left, went all in, successfully isolating his opponent.

Middle Position: AJ
Tyler Smith: AK

The flop had something for both parties when the board spread K83. Smith flopped his king but his opponent had the nut flush draw. The cards came black instead, rolling off the 3 and the 5, surging Smith up in the counts.

Wei Sends De Silva to the Rail

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With players heads up, the board reading 523K3 and a bit more than 200,000 in the middle, Upeshka De Silva moved all in for his last 156,000 and was called by Guo Liang Wei who had a covering stack.

De Silva could only table A9 for a bluff while Wei had AK for two pair, kings and threes to take down a monster pot.
