Romain Morvan defended out of the blinds and check-jammed a flop of 8♠4♦2♣ to see Jun Young Park with a snap-call.
Jun Young Park: A♣A♠
Romain Morvan: K♦8♣
The 10♦ turn and 9♣ river brought no upset and Park doubled to an average stack.
Junnie Pamplona made it 58,000 to go out of the big blind only for Cheng Zhang to then four-bet to 125,000 from an early position. A rather swift call by Pamplona followed, who then checked the 10♥4♠3♦ flop. Zhang continued for 85,000 and Pamplona folded.
The action has resumed with 46 players still in contention and below are those who departed just before the break.
Level: 18
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
Upon completion of level 17, the remaining 47 players have been sent on their second scheduled 10-minute break of the day.
On a completed board of J♦J♥6♥K♦8♦, Alexander Puchalski was all-in for 50,000 and Jimmy Torres snap-called. Puchalski tabled the Q♠J♠ for trips jacks but was beaten by the K♥K♣ for kings full by Torres.
According to Bo Jin and Torres, the flop was checked before 40,000 chips went in after the turn. That being said, Torres further increased his big stack while Puchalski's title defence has come to an end.
Pete Chen had previously hit a miracle double against Min Woo Kang and Lev Kydatov did so as well shortly after.
Kydatov was all-in for 106,000 with the A♥6♥ versus K♥K♠ and the Q♠J♥6♠Q♥A♦ board improved the Day 1c chip leader eventually.
One table over, Ting-Yi Tsai added even more chips to his growing tower after he dispatched short stack Thomas Carlin.
Jeremy Jehanne defended his big blind with the 6♣5♦ to then flop middle pair and turn two pair on 9♣5♣2♣6♦. He was up against the Q♠Q♣ of Hao Tian, who ensured the knockout thanks to the J♣ on the river.
Bubble all-in showdown survivor Daoxing Chen got it in before the flop for a short stack with the A♣10♣. He was up against Hal Rotholz with the 8♦8♠ and the pocket pair remained ahead all the way on the 4♣4♥3♦5♦Q♥ board to eliminate Chen.
Yannick Jobin dragged in the chips of Mohit Bohra to jump above the average. All cards were still exposed and Jobin provided the action. According to the Swiss, his raise was called by Bohra from one seat over and the big blind.
On the 8♦7♦4♥ flop, Jobin continued for Bohra to raise and Jobin then jammed to see Bohra call it off.
Mohit Bohra: A♠A♦
Yannick Jobin: 7♣7♠
The 5♣ turn and K♠ river ended Bohra's run on the second payout step.
