Yujung Choi got her stack of 26,700 all in preflop holding the and was looking to stay alive against Ling Tong's . The flop was safe enough, but the turn did give Tong some chop outs. Much to Choi's delight, the river proved harmless and she staved off elimination.
On a board of both Ro Woong Park and Andrew Kinwai Lam - the pre flop raiser - checked to Aidan Tam who bet out 9,000. Park check-raised to 20,000 and Lam passed before Tam made it 52,000 to go.

Now that we're two people from the money, APPT President Danny McDonagh has just announced that round-for-round play will be instituted. That means each table will play an entire orbit and then stop to allow the other tables to catch up.
With 100,000 or so already in the pot and a board reading , Peter Ping San Chan slid out a huge bet, which was enough to cover his opponent, Sunny Hyung Sun Jung.

Tore Lukashaugen opened to 6,000 and was called by Aidan Tam and Ro Woong Park before Winfred Yu made it 16,000 to go from the cutoff.

Stephane Blouin raised to 5,100 and Ilya Krupin moved all in for 8,600. From the button Yifan Zheng called, as did Blouin before the board was checked down.
