Malcolm Trayner opened to 115,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 300,000 by Joseph Antar on the button. Xiaosheng Zheng then announced he was all in for over 2,000,000, which got two quick folds from Trayner and Antar in turn.
With 61 players remaining, just six more players need to be eliminated before the money bubble bursts.
Corey Kempson opened to 80,000 from the hijack and was called by Ehsan Amiri on the button and the player in the big blind.
The flop came K♠6♥5♥ and it was checked to Amiri, who bet 110,000, the big blind folded, but Kempson check-raised to 350,000, which Amiri called.
Kempson announced he was all in for 795,000 on the 4♠ turn and Amiri tanked a while before sticking in a call to put Kempson at risk.
Corey Kempson: A♥A♠
Ehsan Amiri: 8♣8♥
Kempson was ahead, but needed to fade Amiri's set and straight outs to avoid elimination.
The K♣ river bricked out for Amiri, however, and Kempson was awarded the massive double up.
Level: 17
Blinds: 25,000/50,000
Ante: 50,000
Nathan Ong opened to 80,000 from the cutoff and called a three-bet of 180,000 from his opponent on the button.
Ong check-called a 110,000 bet from his opponent on the 6♦A♦A♣ flop and both players then checked on the 10♥ turn.
The 8♣ completed the board and Ong led out for 340,000. The button looked Ong up after a lengthy tank and Ong tabled A♥4♥ for trip aces, which got a muck from his opponent to send the pot Ong's way.
Stevan Chew moved all in for his last 510,000 from early position and was called by the player in the small blind to be put at risk.
Steven Chew: K♦J♦
Small blind: A♠Q♦
Chew would need a bit of help to keep his run alive, and the 5♦6♥J♠7♦K♣ runout did the trick after improving him to two pair for the double up.
Ron Bean opened to 80,000 first to act and it was folded to Luke Martinelli, who three-bet to 250,000 from the small blind. Bean called.
Martinelli continued for 175,000 on the 6♣3♣5♦ flop and Bean responded by announcing he was all in, which got a snap-fold from Martinelli to send the pot Bean's way.
Level: 16
Blinds: 20,000/40,000
Ante: 40,000
The remaining 79 players have been sent on another 15-minute break.
Malcolm Trayner opened to 60,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 180,000 by his opponent in the small blind. It was folded back to Trayner, who cut out a four-bet to 440,000 and placed it into the middle.
His opponent didn't take long to lay his hand down and Trayner was awarded the pot uncontested.
At another table, Aussie poker legend Michael Addamo was eliminated.
The player in the cutoff opened 75,000 and it was folded to Masato Yokosawa, who shoved for 630,000 from the big blind. His opponent counted out calling chips and tanked a bit, but eventually stuck in calling chips to put Yokosawa at risk.
Masato Yokosawa: A♥J♣
Cutoff: 8♣8♦
It was a fair fight between a pair and two overs that went Yokosawa's way after the 6♠Q♥J♥10♣4♠ runout paired his jack to award him the double up.
