Gaoyang Yang raised to 40,000 in middle position before Dean Hutchison three-bet to 115,000 on the button.

John Clements then slid forward his entire stack of around 800,000 in the big blind, and Yang quickly folded. Hutchison also took only a few seconds before folding, and Clements took the pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Gaoyang Yang raised to 40,000 in middle position and Bryan Taylor called in the hijack. Sinead Davenport then moved all in for 340,000 in the cutoff and Yang called, while Taylor got out of the way.

Sinead Davenport: J♥J♣ All in
Gaoyang Yang: 10♣10♠

"King-ten of diamonds, I had," Taylor said, revealing to Yang he had just one out. The A♣4♦5♣ flop kept Davenport a big favorite to double up, but Yang hit the one-outer on the 10♥ turn. The river was the 8♦ and Davenport was eliminated in 19th place.

The remaining 18 players are taking a 20-minute break while they draw for seats at the final two tables.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Dean Hutchison moved all in for 253,000 in the cutoff, Jesus Ramos reshoved in the small blind, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Dean Hutchison: A♠5♠ All in
Jesus Ramos: K♠Q♥

Ramos took the lead on the Q♠7♥5♣ flop with top pair, while the 8♠ turn gave Hutchison the nut flush draw. "You can stand up now," a tablemate told Hutchison, who got up from his seat to await the river which came the A♣ to give him two pair and the double up.
