Bonifacio Mondalo reraised to 3,500 on the button only for Hao Cheng to then make it 8,800 to go. Any other opponents got out of the way while Mondalo called. Cheng's continuation bet on the Q♦J♣6♥ flop for 6,500 resulted in a call and Cheng then pushed all-in after the 2♥ turn.
Mondalo tanked for more than a minute and called it off for the 25,400 he had behind.
Bonifacio Mondalo: 10♦6♦
Hao Cheng: K♣K♠
The 10♥ on the river let several players gasp in shock as Mondalo pulled a rabbit out of the hat with a miracle double, while Cheng was left crushed in his chair.

On a heads-up flop of J♣10♥7♦, Emil Condez instantly called the shove of a shorter stack from South Korea. He was miles ahead with K♠K♣ versus K♦J♠ and that remained to be the case on the Q♥ turn and 2♣ river.

Jose Colada has become the 100th entry for the day but not all players have shown up yet to take a seat, as 84 players out of 95 entries are in contention. Thanh Ha Duong was among those to bow out while Gyeong Tae Yoo avoided the same feat.
Yoo three-bet jammed for 9,500 with 9♠9♦ and flipped against an opponent holding the A♥K♣. The pair remained ahead on the 7♦5♦5♠10♥10♦ runout to keep the South Korean in the mix.

Enrico de Rosa: J♣J♠
Dieu Phuong Linh Nguyen: Q♥Q♦
Winfred Yu: 9♣4♣

Joseph Magnotti defended his big blind against a raise by Alexis Cruz and then check-called for 1,500 on the 9♣9♦4♠ flop. On the 6♣ turn, Magnotti check-called for another 4,000 and checked the 2♠ river. Cruz fired a bet of 16,000 to get snap-called and turned over the 9♠8♦ for trips nines.
Magnotti shook his head as he exposed the 9♥3♥ for the inferior kicker and lost a bigger portion of his stack.
Cruz leaped to two times the starting stack, which is only beaten by the large stack of Wai Keong Yong next to Magnotti.
