Keiji Takahashi
Keiji Takahashi

Yan Li raised to 75,000 from the cutoff and Keiji Takahashi moved all in for 895,000 in the small blind, which Li instantly called.

Keiji Takahashi: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Yan Li: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Neither player hit the {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop, but the {q-Spades} turn reduced the outs of Li to four. A blank {6-Diamonds} fell on the river and Li lost one third of her stack.

Right after, the remaining five players headed into a 10-minute break.

Li and Lee Clash

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Calvin Lee raised in the cutoff and called a three-bet by Yan Li to create a pot of more than 400,000 to the {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop. Lee checked and Li moved all in for just shy of a million effectively, as that's what Lee had left behind. Lee ended up using two time bank extensions and tossed his cards into the muck.

Li won a few small pots without showdown after and climbed back into a comfortable second place.

Zhang found a five on the {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, but neither the {9-Spades} turn nor the {2-Hearts} river were of any help to see Zhang depart in 6th place for ₩33,390,000 ($29,383).

Doddaiavar in Need of a Miracle

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Calvin Lee jammed for 530,000 and Yasreel Praveen Doddaiavar called with a near identical stack.

Calvin Lee: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Yasreel Praveen Doddaiavar: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

On a board of {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, Lee locked up the double and the stacks were counted. Lee had 530,000 and Doddaiavar was left with 20,000. He chopped to more than double his stack thanks to the blinds and big blind ante with {4-Hearts}{3-Spades} against the {a-Clubs}{9-Spades} of Yan Li, as the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{k-Clubs}{a-Spades} board gave a straight on the board.
