On the second hand back from the break, Congya Zhang raised from the button and Adrian State moved all in from the big blind for around 20,000,000. Zhang snap-called to put State at risk.

Adrian State: A♠5♠ All in
Congya Zhang: A♦K♠

The board ran out 9♣9♦3♦8♠J♦ and Zhang held with her ace-king high and the nines on board.

"I did not see your second stack," said State as he took his leave. Zhang chipped up to around 48,000,000 to take a huge lead, while State was eliminated in fifth place for $80,000.

Action Slowing Down

Level 29 : Blinds 200,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

With chip stacks now closer to even, and pay jumps getting big, the dynamics have changed on the final table. Most pots have been taken down with a preflop raise or flop bet, and there has been little significant change to the counts.

Sergei Petrushevskii raised preflop and Yilu Yuan defended his big blind. Yuan ended up getting his chips in the middle on the K♦Q♥9♠ flop.

Yilu Yuan: Q♠9♦ All in
Sergei Petrushevskii: A♥A♣

Yuan had made two pair and further improved to a full house on the 9♥ turn. He held on the 6♦ river and doubled his stack. Petrushevskii and Adrian State were running away with it just a level ago, but with that it was looking like anyone's game again.

Action folded around to Adrian State, who jammed from the small blind. Mengdian Peng excitedly slammed in his chips from the big blind, calling for 4,600,000.

Mengdian Peng: Q♦Q♠ All in
Adrian State: 4♣3♦

The board ran out A♠10♣8♥7♦6♠ and Peng held with his queens to win the pot, doubling his stack and taking a chunk from State. The clash left Congya Zhang in pole position.

Zhang Paid for Straight; Moves Into Second in Counts

Level 29 : Blinds 200,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Sergei Petrushevskii raised preflop and Congya Zhang called in the big blind. Both players checked on the 6♣5♦7♠ flop to see the 3♣ turn. Zhang fired out a bet of 2,600,000 and Petrushevskii called.

On the 8♣ river, Zhang used two time bank cards before pushing out a stack of chips worth 5,500,000. This sent Petrushevskii into the tank before he eventually flicked in a call. Zhang showed 10♥9♥ for a rivered straight.

"Nice hand," said Petrushevskii, twice, but Zhang remained stone cold as she dragged in the pot to take second place in the counts.

Congya Zhang raised to 1,200,000 from the small blind and Sergei Petrushevskii three-bet to 3,500,000 from the big blind. Zhang then moved all-in for 13,100,000, leaving Petrushevskii in the tank scratching his head. Petrushevskii folded and Zhang added yet more to her stack.
