It's time for another 15-minute break with 73 of 107 players remaining.
Chao Duan opened to 2,400 and Pratik Mehta raised to 7,000. Duan called and the flop came Q♣J♦10♥
Duan check-called 4,000 and the turn was the 2♦. Duan checked and Mehta bet 13,000. Duan check-raised all in for 24,500 and Mehta quickly called.
"You have ace-king?" asked Duan?
Chao Duan: Q♦10♦
Pratik Mehta: A♦K♣
Mehta did have ace-king, and dodged both flush and full house outs on the 7♣ river.
"If this was a bounty event you'd have enough for a new Maserati!" one of Mehta's tablemates piped up.
"No, I'd be going and pulling min-bounties!" replied Mehta jokingly.
Kenta Ito opened to 7,000 and called a shove from Lauchlan Swann for their last 34,000.
Lauchlan Swann: A♣J♠
Ito Kenat Ito
The board came 10♠8♠2♠7♠6♦ giving both players a flush, but Swann's was better and doubled up.
On a J♥9♣6♥5♦ board Alex Li checked to Michael Clair who bet 11,000. Li check-raised to 25,000 and Clair shoved for 34,000.
Li promptly called and the cards were turned over.
Michael Clair: A♠J♣
Alex Li: K♥Q♥
Clair would need to dodge straight, flush and pair outs, but he improved to trips on the J♠ river to double up.
Action was on the river of a J♥10♥8♥2♣7♣ board and Yang Lei checked.
His opponent was Justin Tsui who moved all in for 46,000 into a pot of around 60,000. Lei eventually folded and Tsui took down the pot, moving above 100,000 in chips.
The current average is just over 73,000 chips with 69 of 101 players remaining.

Higor Seibel: 4♥4♦
Sam Ioannou: Q♠3♠
The flop had given Seibel bottom set, but Ioannou had flopped a flush. The turn was the Q♥ but the river 5♦ paired the board giving Seibel a full house and doubling him up.
