Just before the blinds went up, Ole Kristian Lunde and Keita Minami created a pot of around 5,000 and then checked down the 
river. Lunde tabled the 
for the flopped top pair but it was no good as Minami had 
for a pair of aces to win the showdown.
Lunde's lead over the rest of the table has diminished as of lately with Leo Soma among those to chip up. The Norwegian has also calmed down significantly as well.

Luke Keay lost a big flip with king-queen suited against the pocket nines of Rajeev Kanjani and was then all-in with the 
to get called by Michael Fullmer. The latter tabled the 
and made a set on the 
turn only for the 
river to keep Keay in.
Soon after, Keay jammed for 9,800 and Sokmeng Hun called.
Luke Keay: 
Sokmeng Hun: 
"I have a pair," Keay said when the cards were revealed and Hun replied "pair is good". However, until the 
turn, Keay was drawing dead and celebrated on the river as he didn't even see the flush. He then re-entered and got the very same seat.
