Zong Bao secured a near double when his large bet on an ace-high river was called. He turned over the K♥10♦ for broadway and his opponent first mucked one queen, then flashed Q♠Q♣ for a turned set of queens. The same player was left short and bowed out shortly after.

San Zhang doubled after his recent redeeming of a bullet and then raise-folded against a shove by his former nemesis Esti Wang. Soon after and in the new level, CD limped in first to act and Zhang made it 66,000 to go in the cutoff. What followed was a limp-shove by CD and Zhang folded again.

Zong Wu was all-in for just 126,000 with the Q♥Q♦ and up against table big stack Hu Xiao, who flipped over the A♦Q♠. Wu remained ahead on the J♠10♣9♥ flop whereas the 8♥ turn made a split pot likely. However, there was one more twist to the story as the K♥ river gave Xiao broadway.

San Zhang was moved tables not long ago and flipped for stacks with one of the most recent entries Esti Wang. The former held A♥K♣ while Wang revealed J♣10♣. Suited connectors improved to a straight on the A♠Q♠6♥K♦Q♥ runout to leave Zhang short.
A few hands later, both got it in again and Zhang had the 9♦8♦, Wang was ahead with A♠J♥ and that remained to be the case on the K♣J♠6♣A♦Q♥ runout. That brought an end to the first bullet and Zhang redeemed the last 150,000.

Ai had dropped to around the starting stack after his most recent clash and then got it in preflop with the A♥10♦. He was up against the 10♣10♥ of Sun and never connected with the K♥9♠6♠6♦9♦ board to hit the rail.

The Lord Poker Tournament (TLPT) is starting well after the dinner break.
Quan Zhou won a medium-sized pot with K♦Q♦ despite missing the A♦8♦6♥A♣8♥ board when the river was checked and his opponent mucked.
