Won Jae Lee raised to 8,000 before the blinds went up and then folded to a shove by Jose Drilon for 39,000. Drilon got another shove through before Lee then open-jammed for 53,500 from under the gun. Junho Kim asked for an exact count and folded in the very next seat, all others folded as well.
A relieved Kim flashed his cards and tabled the Q♣5♥.

Two players from the Philippines collided when Ivan Tabucal on the button and Edwin Dela Cruz in the small blind tangled in a three-bet pot. Dela Cruz fired three barrels, and he was called down by Tabucal eventually.
Prior to the J♥7♠5♣8♣Q♦ river, Tabucal only had around 20,000 behind and sighed when he faced the shove by Dela Cruz with the marginally covering stack. Ultimately, he made the call and Dela Cruz revealed the 8♦8♠ for a set as he exposed the 6♣6♦ for a missed straight draw before heading out of the tournament area.

The aggressive play of William Teoh has paid off once more as he won a showdown pot versus Wooseok Kim, who was left rather stunned and surprised. On a board of A♥K♥10♦J♥9♦, they get 17,000 in on the river and Kim tabled the 6♥4♥ for a flush. Teoh had that beat with the 9♥2♥ and pulled ahead of his opponent.

Former big stack Tien Thanh Dinh was all-in with a short stack and turned over the 6♥6♠ in showdown. He was up against Junho Kim with the Q♣J♥ and fell behind almost immediately on the Q♠7♦2♠ flop.
The 9♥ turn left Dinh with two outs and the 5♦ river was not among them. Almost at the same time, Valeriy Pak was eliminated as well to bring the field down to the last 32 hopefuls.

Won Jae Lee was all-in with the dominated A♦6♥ and up against fellow countryman Wooseok Kim, who revealed the A♥K♣.
Lee had a ton of outs on the J♦8♦3♦ flop and got there with the K♦ turn to make the 6♠ river a formality. The double up was for 48,000 and Lee instantly thanked the dealer with an "I love you".

Junho Kim defended his big blind against an under-the-gun raise by Harun Mzb, who proceeded to fire three barrels. The A♦K♠6♥ flop was check-called by Kim for 18,000 and he did so again for 40,000 on the 2♠ turn.
After the Q♣ river, Kim checked the third street in a row and Mzb now fired another 80,000. More than two minutes passed before Kim called and was shown the A♥K♥ for the top two pair, exposing A♠6♠ for an inferior two pair and the missed nut flush draw.
