Kang Chen had been among the early big stacks on Day 2 and breezed through the money bubble. However, things didn't go as smooth lately and he just doubled through Sayaka Seshimoto for just 84,000.
The cards of Seshimoto were in the muck already as she could not beat the A♥K♦ of Chen on a K♥J♣9♣K♣J♠ board.
Jingxiang Ong tripled up on the money bubble and cashed before then bowing out. His brother Dingxiang Ong had been sporting a decent stack over on table 25 but was also just spotted on the way to the payout desk, finishing inside the top 100.
He explained to have lost a big pot previously before then coming up short in a flip with sevens versus ace-queen. The one to benefit the most has been Thomas Ward, who joined the big stacks.
Jessie Leonarez raised from under the gun and Andrej Nagy called out of the big blind.
On the 10♠9♦4♦ flop, Nagy check-called for 20,000 and they checked the Q♦ turn. Nagy also checked the 7♥ river and he then paid off a bet worth 50,000 by Leonarez. He was shown the K♠Q♠ and that won the pot for the local player.
The action escalated on the K♥9♦5♠3♦ turn when Rasid Paitao was all-in for 89,000. Jester Intia got his stack in as well and they were covered by Cezar Quiambao.
Rasid Paitao: J♦10♦
Jester Intia: 5♦5♣
Cezar Quiambao: 9♣9♠
Paitao asked for diamonds and got the wish granted on the 8♦ river to triple up, while Intia was eliminated by Quiambao.
Florencio Campomanes had been short not long ago but recalled two double-ups against Luan Haitao with ace-queen versus ace-seven and kings versus eights, which the latter confirmed.
On the same table, chip leader Riku Sasahara raised to 20,000 and Kyrillos Gerges called. The 9♠3♥2♣ flop saw Sasahara check-call for 20,000 before they checked down the A♣ turn and 9♦ river. Sasahara tabled the A♠Q♠ and that won the pot.

On a completed board of 10♠9♦7♥6♥8♣, Joonhee Yea bet 84,000 into around 150,000. Cher Whey Cheng then moved all-in and Yea mulled it over for a few seconds before letting go.
