Jacson Feng: 7♦7♣
Thanh failed to connect with the 10♠5♠2♥Q♦9♦ and was sent to the rail.

The cards were already on their backs when Vasil Radev ended up all-in as his A♦A♥ were exposed. He was marginally ahead of the Q♥9♥ of Valeriy Pak, who held a gutshot and flush draw until the K♥10♥4♦8♣ turn.
It was all over for Radev on the 7♥ river as Pak got there to claim his chips.

A shorter stack from South Korea got his chips into the middle preflop with the A♣Q♦ and Alexander Puchalski was ahead in chips and hand strength, turning over the 10♠10♦. The 9♣6♣2♣ flop was a mighty sweat with the flush draw but Puchalski prevailed thanks to the 9♥ turn and 10♥ river.

Huu Dung Nguyen was all-in for just 10,300 with the J♦J♠ and had a typical coin flip versus A♦Q♠. The player from Vietnam remained ahead all the way on a J♥6♥4♠K♠8♣ board and that brought Nguyen back into contention.

"The pot was already big and I jammed the river, before that I called him down," Selim Souissi explained after he had just knocked out Bo Jin. The latter had bet all the way on the 8♥5♥2♦ flop and 3♦ turn, then checked the 2♠ river with around 30,000 behind.
Souissi's shove was called by Jin with the 9♣9♥ and Souissi had the best of it with A♣2♣ for trips deuces. The Japan-based player instantly apologised for the suckout which Jin hated. "Don't say sorry, that's the worst thing you can say at the table man," Jin groaned before he departed.

Eric Wasylenko raised for Bonifacio Mondalo to three-bet to 3,200 before he then called a four-bet to 8,500 by Wasylenko. That led them to the Q♥J♥4♠ flop on which Mondalo check-called a bet of 5,000. The K♠ turn was checked and Mondalo jammed the 8♠ river for around 36,300.
Wasylenko mulled it over and then sent the cards into the muck.

Koen Breed had previously faced a raise to 1,700 and two callers. He three-bet to 8,000 out of the big blind and claimed the pot after his three opponents folded.
The same table then featured the all-in move by Erik Rozhynskyi on a K♥5♥3♣10♦8♦ river for 22,000. His table neighbour tank-folded and then inquired "Did you have queen-jack of hearts or something like that?".
Breed and Abhinav Iyer appear to be the current chip leaders in the field while Alexander Puchalski has dropped below the starting stack.
