In three-way action to the 7♥6♣3♣10♠ turn, Nang Quang Nguyen checked and Fang-Kei Yang bet 1,500. Vinay Boob raised to 4,200 only for Nguyen to check-raise to 12,000 total. Yang folded and Boob then jammed for around 20,000 to get snapped off.
"Do you have a straight?" Boob asked and Nguyen nodded, exposing the 5♥4♠ for a straight. Boob tabled 10♥10♦ for top st but couldn't pair up on the 2♠ river.
Eric Ceret was eliminated and soon after re-entered while Feng Ji Chua avoided the same fate for now. At risk with a shorter stack, Chua's Q♥J♣ needed help versus A♥K♠ and improved on a Q♠9♦8♠ flop. Two blanks later, Chua jumped back to half the starting stack.
On the river of a 8♣7♦2♦10♦3♣ board, Sven McDermott had a bet of 8,300 out in front only to then see the jam of his table neighbour and force him out.
Konstantin Generalov has preserved his short stack by winning two non-all-in showdown pots while fellow Russian Dmitry Chumakov got a shove through to further build a solid stack. He had a reraise to 3,600 in front, faced a squeeze to 7,100 to then jam it in and get through with the move.
Picking up the action on the Q♣8♥5♦ flop, Yuhan Liu checked and Thanh Vinh Tran bet 3,000 out of the big blind. Grant Gardner called only for Liu to then check-raise to 8,300. Tran tank-called and Gardner quickly folded.
In the dark, Liu jammed for 16,000 and Tran tank-folded the 10♠ turn thereafter.

In four way action to the J♣8♦4♣8♥ turn, the action checked to Valeriy Pak in the cutoff. He made it 2,600 to go and one opponent after the other folded. The last player to let go was Grant Gardner and Pak flashed his cards to the table neighbour only, after which they were exposed to everyone as well as A♥J♦ were flipped over.
With some 12,000 in the middle to the A♣8♣7♥4♦10♦, all three remaining players checked. Huu Dung Nguyen tabled the 7♣3♣ for a pair of sevens and missed flush draw while Vinay Boob declared "ace is good" after which Fang-Kei Yang showed his A♠2♠ indeed.
"You had pocket kings?" Boob was asked and he nodded.
"If you don't bet, I stay in ... pocket fours," Jun Weng added in table chat.
A three-way turn of Q♣10♦7♦4♦ was checked to Sven McDermott and he bet 1,400. Xiaosheng Zheng called and was then the only one to call a check-raise to 3,000 by his table neighbour, as McDermott folded. The K♣ river saw Zheng check-call a bet worth 7,300 and he won the pot with 5♦3♦ for a flush as the other player only tabled K♥10♠ for two pair.
