Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Bo Jin knocked out a short-stacked Timur Khamidullin and received a three-hand penalty for exposing his cards prematurely and potentially influencing the action.

One table over, Jia YI Low was all-in with a severe short stack and tabled the J♥J♣. Hao Tian was aiming to deal the final blow with A♣5♣ but couldn't get there on the Q♥8♠6♦4♥4♣ runout.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Min Woo Kang raised to 12,000 and Pete Chen three-bet to 80,000 out of the big blind, keeping 12,000 behind. The initial raiser jammed and Chen then called it off on a pay jump.

Pete Chen: K♥Q♦
Min Woo Kang: A♣K♣

Both paired the king on the K♦4♠2♦ flop and the 6♥ turn changed nothing. However, Chen spiked the Q♣ on the river to survive and dent Kang's stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Pete Chen	193,000 128,000	128,000

Min Woo Kang	140,000 15,000	15,000

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Feng Ji Chua jammed all-in for around 32,000 in the small blind and Curtis Lim called in the big blind.

Feng Ji Chua: A♥5♠
Curtis Lim: A♣9♠

"Chop is good," Chua joked but the K♦J♣6♠8♠10♦ runout made sure that the kicker played.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There is a small crowd lined up in front of the payout desk and one table already broke soon after the bubble had burst, meaning more than ten players have been eliminated.

Among them was also Eric Wasylenko, who mentioned "ace jack against pocket nines for around 20 bigs, Jin Woo got me".

Leonid Poles and Vinay Boob were also spotted in line as well.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jenam Yu pushed all-in from under the gun and Guy Taylor did so from two seats over. It folded to Quan Qiu in the big blind, who called to put two players at risk right after the bubble had burst.

Jenam Yu: A♦2♥
Guy Taylor: 9♦9♠
Quan Qiu: A♠J♣

The K♥Q♠10♣ flop gave Qiu broadway and Taylor needed running cards, while Yu could chop with a jack. Nothing changed on the 7♥ turn and K♠ river to send two players to the payout desk.

In a battle of the blinds, Abhinav Iyer was the player at risk for 142,000 effective out of the big blind and Adrien Tantaro had him covered by some ten big blinds.

Abhinav Iyer: J♠J♦
Adrien Tantaro: Q♠Q♣

Ashish Munot demanded for a jack to keep his fellow Indian poker pro in contention. However, the 8♥8♠5♦2♥7♠ board brought no help to Iyer and he was eliminated on the bubble.
