"YES! YES!" shouted Connor Drinan after he saw Zhou Zhou's winning 
for a flush at showdown.
He'd raised to 40,000 from the button and Zhou called from the big blind. Both players checked the 
flop before Zhou check-called 70,000 on the 
turn. The river was the 
and Drinan tank checked behind.
He was so happy he didn't go for value on the river and his yelling was in delight.

Ka Cheong Wong has been looking for a spot for the last hour or so and when he shoved with 
he thought this might be it.
Wong was playing in a hand with Sergey Lebedev. There was some action before Wong shoved all in for his remaining 320000 and Lebedev was quick to call.
Lebedev had 
and was racing with Wong. There was a little bit more than 11th place on the line in this race. Wong is currently #2 in the Asia Player of the Year race. He trails the leader by 20 points and he needed a top 10 finish in this event to take the top spot.
The board didn't seem to care much about it when it gave Wong his pair, but gave Lebedev a set and left Wong with a tough task. The turn, , and the river, 
, didn't help Wong and he was eliminated. Just shy of the 10th spot and a place at the top of the APOY leaderboard.

After losing three players within a few minutes to bring the field down to 11 players, there have been very few large pots. There have been a few shoves, but no calls.
Zhou Zhou managed to double up, and is still working his short stack. He has shoved over Nan Tu's opening raises on two occasions in the past 20 minutes.
Ka Cheong Wong is taking his time making decisions. On his latest shove, the action folded to him in the small blind and he tanked for about two minutes before finally shoving all in. Xixiang Luo was a bit faster in making his decision. After asking for a count and checking his hand, he folded. There will be a break once there are nine players left as the final nine will redraw.
Zhou Zhou badly needed a double up and he just got it.
He moved all in for 123,000 from the cutoff and Drinan called from the big blind.
Zhou: 
Drinan: 
The board ran 
meaning ace high was good for Zhou.

Connor Drinan and Patrick Mahoney have headed off for a break with the rest of the players in very different moods.
They had made it to the river in a hand where the board read
