Tao Luo opened to 1,700 from the cutoff as Ricky Kroesen and Noah Vogelman made the call from the button and big blind respectively.
The flop of 
was checked to Luo who fired out 2,800 and was called by both Kroesen and Vogelman as the 
landed on the turn and Luo fired once again; this time for 6,500.
Kroesen kicked his cards into the muck, but Vogelman made the call before both players checked the 
on the river.
Luo tabled his 
for just ace-high, but it would be Vogelman's 
for a better ace-high that would see him collect the pot and move to 127,000 as Luo clips 81,000 in chips.
Noah Vogelman opened to 1,600 only to have James Honeybone three-bet to 3,600. Ardmore Vakalahi made the call from the button before the 
flop was checked to Vakalahi.
Vakalahi fired out 3,200 and only Honeybone made the call as the 
rolled off on the turn and Honeybone checked to see Vakalahi push out a bet of 3,600.
Honeybone moved all in for roughly 24,000 and Vakalahi instantly made the call for his 22,400.
Honeybone: 
Vakalahi: 
"Twinkle, twinkle!" screamed Vakalahi at his virtual lock on the pot before the dealer dropped the to ensure him the double to 62,000 as Honeybone was left crippled on just 1,100.
Jackson Zheng moved all in for his last 2,200 from the cutoff and Tao Luo made the call from the button.
Zheng: 
Luo: 
The board ran out 
to see the New Zealand Poker Open Champion exit out of the tournament.
James Honeybone tried and tried to recover from his cripple against Ardmore Vakalahi . . . but in the end he was forced to make his way to the rail.
It was one helluva ride though!
With an all in for 5,375, James Honeybone followed suit for roughly 1,500 as the remainder of the table folded.
Honeybone:
Opponent:
The board ran out 
to see the pot chopped up as Honeybone climbed to around 2,000.
A few hands later Honeybone shoved his last 1,750 into the pot and was called by the same opponent from the previous hand out of the small blind.
Honeybone: 
Opponent:
The board ran out 
to see Honeybone make a flush to move to 3,950.
Then just two hands later, the cutoff - who was amazingly again the same opponent from the previous two hands - moved all in for 3,475 and Honeybone made the call.
Honeybone: 
Opponent: 
With the flop landing to give Honeybone's opponent a flush, the and on the turn and river changed little as Honeybone was left with just 400.
"If I come back from this, it will be sick!" uttered Honeybone before adding, "I'm all in blind for the next six hands!"
However that next hand would be Honeybone's last as his 
would be unable to best Ricky Kroesen's 
on a final board of 
to see Honeybone finally hit the rail as Kroesen climbs to 85,000 in chips.
On a flop of 
, Oliver Schaffman checked and Andrew Hinrichsen fired out 2,175 which Schaffman called before the landed on the turn and Hinrichsen fired strongly again; this time for 5,000.
Schaffman once again made the call as the river landed the and he went deep into the tank after being confronted with a 7,000-chip bet.
After several minutes deliberating, Schaffman made the call only to fold at the sight of Hinrichsen's as he slipped to 60,000 as Hinrichsen climbed to 60,000 himself.
The Tournament Director approached chip leader Noah Vogelman to draw a card to see how many hands are remaining.
That number is five - just five more hands until today's flight is over!
