Sviatoslav Belov was all-in and at risk for 27,600 with the A♦K♦ and in prime shape, as a rather upset Richard Marquez only revealed the K♥Q♦.
The board ran out J♥7♣3♣8♦6♥ and ace-king high was good enough for the double.
Mori Tadamasa made it 2,000 to go for Jiejun Zhang to three-bet to 7,500. The initial raiser jammed and Zhang called.
Jiejun Zhang: Q♦Q♥
Mori Tadamasa: A♠K♥
The 9♥2♣2♦7♣K♣ runout delivered the blow on the river and Zhang sighed vividly before gathering his belongings.
With an under-the-gun raise to 2,000 and multiple callers, Ryan Platon came along in the big blind and then check-raised the K♦8♥7♦ flop to 22,500. The initial raiser called with the J♦J♥ and Platon's 10♦9♦ bricked the 4♠ turn and 3♠ river. However, the double didn't last long as the player bowed out soon after.
In the outer tournament area, Sebastian Wong raised to 1,700 and received two callers. Masaki Hori then jammed out of the big blind and Wong isolated by going all-in over the top.
Masaki Hori: A♦10♦
Sebastian Wong: A♣Q♣
The kicker played on the K♣5♠4♦J♠K♦ board to send Hori to the rail.
Level: 7
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
Level six has been completed on Day 1b and the field size has increased to 577 total entries with some 408 hopefuls still in contention. The second ten-minute break of the day is now underway.
Archie Mariano opened to 1,500 in the cutoff and earned a call from the button. Weixuan Wang three-bet to 6,700 in the small blind and Kil Soo Kim flat-called out of the big blind, as did Mariano and the button.
The flop came 7♣2♠2♦ and Wang checked. Kim bet 17,000 for Mariano to shove for 39,300 total as Wang moved all-in over the top. Kim folded and exposed his Q♥Q♦.
Archie Mariano: K♣K♦
Weixuan Wang: A♥2♥
The J♠ turn and Q♣ river completed the board and Wang shot towards the top of the leaderboard.
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.
