After a frantic post-bubble period, the final nine players are on a scheduled 60-minute dinner break. The action will resume at approximately 7.44 p.m. local time.
The action folded to Esti Wang in the cutoff and he moved all-in for what appeared to be around two million in chips, which Aori called on the button.
Esti Wang: A♣10♥
Aori: A♥K♣
The superior kicker not only played but improved Aori to a full house on the 9♥6♦6♣K♥K♠ board to send Wang out in 10th place right before the dinner break. He collects $143,000 for the efforts.
Zong Tao open-jammed and Ming Zhong Liu called all-in for 1,140,000 in the next seat.
Ming Zhong Liu: K♦K♣
Zong Tao: J♥10♦
The kings made a full house on the K♠9♦6♦8♠8♦ runout for Liu to survive.
Kobe open-jammed for Gavin to call all-in for 740,000 one seat over in the hijack.
Gavin: A♥9♠
Kobe: Q♣10♣
Kobe took the lead on the Q♠7♣6♠ flop but the 10♠ turn and K♠ river gave Gavin a flush, as he burst out in celebration.
Dan Cates opened to 500,000 first to act and then called a three-bet to 1,650,000 by Kobe in the next seat. Cates check-called a bet of 1,100,000 on the 9♠7♦6♦ flop and checked the 6♠ turn. Kobe now jammed and Cates reluctantly folded.
Kobe won the next pot post flop as well and added further chips to his large tower.
Aori jammed it in for more than 2.5 million with the J♦10♥ and Zong Tao looked him up with the A♦J♠.
The board ran out A♣Q♥8♠9♥6♦ and Aori turned a straight for the big double.
Guang Hui Luo was all-in preflop and called by Kobe as well as Joy on the button.
Kobe jammed the Q♥9♥7♠ flop and Joy called all-in for 205,000.
Guang Hui Luo: A♦J♠
Joy: 9♠7♦
Kobe: J♥6♥
The Q♣ turn gave Luo outs but the K♦ river ensured his exit in 11th place, while Joy won the main and side pot.
