Jianwei Lin opened to 250,000 from the cutoff, and David Coleman called from the button.

Lin immediately threw in his stack of time bank cards, with several being used until he flicked in a T-5,000 to call the large river bet.

Coleman tabled K♥J♥ for king-high, while Lin showed down J♠9♠ and took in the pot with just a pair of nines.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Harry Lodge raised to 800,000 from under the gun, leaving himself 200,000 behind the line.

Lodge took pause to assess the hand being played on the main feature table before making the call for his tournament life.

Harry Lodge: A♦J♥ All in
David Coleman: K♠J♦

Lodge was in a commanding lead and the 6♠2♥A♠ flop had Coleman drawing to running cards. The Q♣ turn gave Coleman an unlikely gutshot and the 10♦ river completed it. Coleman made Broadway to send Lodge to the rail. The remaining nine players are now on the final table.
