Kuperholz Can't Hang on Against Wang

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Yuanting Wang raised to 40,000 from the cutoff and just behind him, Ryan Kuperholz shoved for his last 200,000 on the button. It was folded back to Wang, who called to put Kuperholz at risk.

Ryan Kuperholz: A♣10♦All in
Yuanting Wang: K♦Q♠

"I got it in ahead! That's all I can ask for!" Kuperholz said while standing up from his seat.

The 9♣7♦5♦ flop gave Kuperholz a big sweat, as Wang had picked up a flush draw in addition to his live cards.

The 6♠ turn changed nothing, but the K♣ landed on the river — pairing Wang's king to end Kuperholz's run in dramatic fashion.

Chi Gets Unlucky to Bust

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Liwei Chi was all in for his last 200,000 and Yuanting Wang put him at risk.

Liwei Chi: A♥Q♠ All in
Yuanting Wang: K♥Q♦

Chi was in great shape to double up but his plan looked to be derailed as the 3♠5♠K♣ flop gave Wang top pair. A 9♠ on the turn did give Chi some more outs with a flush draw, but the 10♦ bricked off, sending him to the rail.

Jaber Takes One Down

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action was picked up with around 150,000 in the middle on a A♣J♠Q♠5♦ board where Paawan Bansal checked from the big blind and Noel Jaber bet 85,000. Bansal called.

An 8♥ dropped on the river and again Bansal checked it over to Jaber, who continued to fire, this time for 125,000. Bansal took a bit longer with his decision but ultimately decided to fold.

Liam Jehu opened to 40,000 from early position and action folded to Ulf Carlberg, who shoved for his last 150,000 on the button. Jehu put in a stack of chips to call and the board was run.

Ulf Carlberg: 9♣9♥All in
Liam Jehu: 7♠7♣

Carlberg found a great spot with his overpair, and the 5♥K♦Q♣4♥10♠ runout provided him with a sweat-free double up.

The action folded around to John Perry in the small blind, who limped in. Paawan Bansal was in the big blind and bumped it up to 60,000, then Perry shoved for 545,000, sending Bansal into the tank.

"Why didn't I just check," muttered Bansal under his breath. After some more thinking, Bansal called.

John Perry: 4♠4♥ All in
Paawan Bansal: A♠9♠

"HOLD," were the cries from Perry's rail behind him, but it wasn't looking likely after the K♥A♥3♦ flop gave Bansal top pair. No fours arrived on the 6♦7♥ runout, and Perry's Main Event run sailed away into the distance.

Prill Dusted by Dong

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Timon Prill was all in for approximately 450,000 from the big blind against Nelson Dong, who was on the button, on a flop of A♥4♥7♥.

Timon Prill: 10♥9♠All in
Nelson Dong: A♠7♣

Prill would need a heart or running cards to make a straight against Dong's two pair, but the Q♦J♠ runout kept Dong in the lead and Prill was eliminated.

Wang Finds the Perfect River to Bust Ma

A huge pot just went Yuanting Wang's way and left Shengfeng Ma on the sidelines!

Wang had opened and called a three-bet of 85,000 from Ma to see the 2♥7♥5♠ flop, where Wang check-called a bet of 55,000

The 3♠ turn went check-check and the Q♦ hit the river, drawing another check from Wang. Ma then fired 160,000, leaving himself 500,000 behind. Wang took some time and shoved his stack of over a 1,000,000, then Ma went into deep thought.

Around three minutes passed and there was still no decision from Ma, so the clock was called and a 30-second countdown was initiated. During the countdown, Ma called.

Wang then showed he rivered a set with Q♠Q♣, and Ma couldn't believe his eyes as he rolled over A♣Q♥ for top pair. Brutal river for Ma, brilliant river for Wang!
