Junnie Pamplona pushed out of the small blind into the big blind of the short stack Yannick Jobin, who eventually got the chips in on a pay jump.
Yannick Jobin: 10♠8♥
Junnie Pamplona: A♦J♥
The 10♦9♠7♣Q♠A♥ runout knocked out Jobin and reduced the field to the last 20 hopefuls.
The action started with an open raise to 35,000 by Ilia Miakishev and Ting-Yi Tsai clicked it up to 125,000. Miakishev then four-bet to around 350,000 with a single TR-25,000 chip behind. Tsai jammed and Miakishev tanked for a potential pay jump, then called it off.
"Jacks one time please?" Tsai joked and then rolled over his Q♣Q♥. Miakishev was trailing with the 10♠10♥ and Tsai then laughed when the J♠J♣8♣ flop brought two jacks. "No jacks, phew", he said with a big smile.
The 4♦ turn and 3♣ river bricked to send Miakishev out in 22nd place.
Junnie Pamplona defended the big blind against a raise by Philip Tan and check-called a first bet on the A♥8♦7♦ flop. He checked again the Q♣ turn to call a bet of 111,000 and the 3♠ river was checked.
Pamplona revealed the A♠7♠ for two pair and Tan grinned "nice hand, nice hand" while exposing his A♣K♦.
Bo Jin raised and then called a three-bet by Jimmy Torres in the cutoff, which led them to the J♠7♠4♣ flop. Jin check-called for 80,000 and the K♦ turn was checked.
Jin checked again the 2♠ river and Torres now bet 100,000. That sent Jin into the tank and he eventually paid it off. Torres tabled the A♠J♦ and that won the pot.
Ashish Munot limped in and Philip Tan raised to 40,000 for Junnie Pamplona to call, while Munot folded. The 8♥5♠4♥ flop was checked and Pamplona bet 33,000, Tan then raised it up to 103,000 and the call by Pamplona followed.
On the Q♥ river, a fourth heart appeared and Pamplona checked this time. Tan bet 450,000 and that won the pot without any further resistance.
Down to just a handful of big blinds, Jin Woo Kim was all-in and looked up by Bien Mai.
Jin Woo Kim: K♥Q♦
Bien Mai: Q♠9♠
Kim was ahead but that all changed on the 9♥7♥4♠ flop. The A♠ turn took away an out and the K♠ river sealed his fate in 23rd place.
In the final hand before the blinds went up, Yuhan Liu raised to 25,000 and Ting-Yi Tsai three-bet to 75,000. Liu jammed for nearly 500,000 and Tsai called.
Yuhan Liu: J♥J♣
Ting-Yi Tsai: A♦K♠
"Okay, let's win a big flip," Tsai announced and had it locked up until the A♠K♥3♣A♥ turn with aces full of kings, which made the 3♦ river a formality.

The cards were already on their backs as Junnie Pamplona with the A♣K♦ had Cheng Zhang at risk, who exposed the K♠J♣.
The Q♣10♠5♥ flop gave both players seat draws. However, the 10♥ turn and 2♣ river bricked off for Zhang and the Day 1a chip leader became the 25th place finisher.
All other tables completed their current hand and that brought a four-bet shove by Ting-Yi Tsai, which Kien Tat Heng called for the 238,000 he had at his disposal.
Kien Tat Heng: A♠A♥
Ting-Yi Tsai: K♣K♦
The A♣J♣9♠K♥7♦ board gave both players sets.
