With a big pot of already 34,000 brewing to the Q♣10♥6♣9♥ turn, Yoo Sin Kang from South Korea moved all-in for the last 10,700. Chierro De Leon pondered about it for half a minute and asked for an exact count. He had the bigger stack by some margin but eventually folded to drop back near the starting stack.

Liow Among Latest Casualties
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Marcuss Liow had dropped to a short stack after losing a big pot early on during which he mentioned to have had pocket aces cracked. He managed to spin it back up only to get short again and then "took a gamble" in three-way action with 8♠7♠ before the flop. Yosuke Takagi scored the knockout on a king-high runout with the A♦A♥.
Soon after, Takagi sent another opponent to the rail and joined six figures.

Duran Knocks Out Tabucal in Spectacular Fashion
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
By the time the all-in showdown unfolded, Ivan Tabucal and Oliver Duran had vaulted out of their chairs and both had the smart phones out to record what was unfolding.
Tabucal was the player at risk but his A♥Q♥ had flopped the nut flush on K♥6♥3♥. Duran's K♠K♣ were good for the top set and he had plenty of outs. Nothing changed with the 9♦ turn but the K♦ river gave Duran quads as his opponent banged his fist on the table in disgust.
"Did you have aces?" Duran then asked Richard Tolentino, who had also been involved prior to the showdown. Tolentino nodded and Duran added "I put you on aces, that's why I just called the seven thousand ... with my stack it's otherwise all-in," he concluded.
