Luke Martinelli: K♥Q♥
Wang found himself dominated and the 3♣3♠9♦J♥10♣ runout kept Martinelli best with his queen-kicker to eliminate Wang just before dinner break.

Heads-up on a completed board of 5♣Q♠9♥5♥4♠ with about 150,000 in the middle, Alex Lynskey checked from the big blind and Masato Yokosawa bet 165,000.
Lynskey responded with a hefty check-raise to 650,000 — sending Yokosawa deep into the tank.
Yokosawa used up a couple of time extensions and then decided to look up Lynskey, who showed A♦4♣.
Yokosawa revealed Q♦8♦ for queens-up and was sent the pot.

The action has been a little slow on the outer tables as of late.
On one table in a recent hand, Stevan Chew opened to 60,000 from early position and was called by Michael Egan in the small blind.
Egan check-called a 45,000 bet from Chew on the Q♥7♦10♣ flop and then both players checked down on the 6♠ turn and K♠ river.
Chew showed A♥10♦ for a pair of tens and Egan sent his hand into the muck.
At the other table, Josh Hutchins opened to 60,000 from under the gun and was called by Yuxi Huang in the small blind and Alex Trevallion in the big blind.
The flop came 10♣2♦Q♦ and it was checked to Hutchins, who continued for 80,000. Both Huang and Trevallion folded and Hutchins showed A♠A♦ before collecting the pot.

Josh Hutchins raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Masato Yokosawa defended his big blind.
"Seven!" Hutchins called for before the 7♣6♠K♦ flop was dealt.
"Why did you call for a seven?" Yokosawa asked as he checked.
"Set," Hutchins replied before betting 30,000.
"You scared me," Yokosawa said. "That's why you bet small." Yokosawa then stuck in a call.
Yokosawa check-called a 125,000 bet from Hutchins on the J♦ turn and checked a final time after the 4♥ filled the river.
Hutchins bet 150,000 and Yokosawa used up a time bank before sticking in a raise to 700,000 total. Hutchins didn't like it and tanked for some time before sending his cards into the muck.
"Ahh, you lied to me!" Yokosawa said as he collected the pot.

Alex Lynskey opened to 50,000 from the hijack and called a three-bet of 155,000 from Yuxi Huang, who was in the big blind.
Lynskey called a 40,000 bet from Huang on the 5♦K♦5♥ flop and then bet 200,000 after being checked to on the J♥ turn. Huang called.
The 3♠ completed the board and Huang checked a final time. Lynskey shoved to put Huang all in for her last 425,000 and she snap-called.
Lynskey showed K♠Q♣ for kings-up, but it was no good against Huang's J♠J♦ for a slowplayed full house and she was awarded the double up.

Banipal Babana raised to 50,000 first to act and was three-bet to 115,000 by Luke Martinelli on the button. Stevan Chew then announced he was all in from the big blind, which got a fold from Babana and a call all in from Martinelli for his last 330,000.
"Good luck," Chew said.
Luke Martinelli: A♣A♥
Stevan Chew: A♦K♠
"I take that back..." Chew said after seeing Martinelli's aces, which got a laugh from the table.
The K♣6♦5♣ flop gave Chew a little sweat after pairing his king, but the 4♦ turn and 9♣ river bricked out — awarding the double up to Martinelli.

Both players then checked on the 5♠ river and Amiri showed K♦J♥ for a busted Broadway draw. Nguyen tabled A♦10♦ for a pair of aces and was sent the pot.
At another table, Rehman Kassam was eliminated.
