Dan Cates had 228,000 in preflop with around 80,000 behind and Liu Cheng called, then checked the Q♣7♣7♥ flop. On the 9♥ turn, Cheng moved all-in and Cates called it off to get shown the Q♠Q♦ for flopped full house. The river was a meaningless J♥ and Cates busted, as he had already redeemed the second bullet on his first entry.

Zong Bao not only loses three time bank chips but also nearly half of his stack when he cannot find the fold against the resurgent Kobe on a board of A♣8♣7♠8♠7♦. Kobe's J♣7♣ had missed the desired flush draw but rivered sevens full of eights to beat the A♦10♠ of Bao.
The action as of lately has not been as frantic and there are currently 37 players out of 58 entries remaining.
