Baja Hits Runner Runner Against Jia
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
"I respect your frequency," Alfonso Baja said after he had gotten it in against William Jia in the last hand of the level and scored a very fortunate double-up, which brought some vivid reactions from the other players at the table.
Alfonso Baja: A♦J♠
William Jia: K♣K♥
It seemed all over for Baja on the K♥3♥2♣ flop but the 5♠ turn and 4♥ river ensured a miracle escape.

Ruzzel Eliminated by Stochita
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Several players were eliminated just before the end of the level, which also included Jose Ruzzel.
Down to a short stack, he put the hopes on K♥7♥ and Ionut Stochita called with the A♣6♦.

Thompson Doubles to Get Back on Track
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Gary Thompson had lost half of his larger stack but made up for it when he scored a double through Long Meng. With some 26,000 in the middle, Meng paid off a double for 40,300 to Thompson as his cards wee already dragged into the muck.
The Irishman had flopped top set and rivered a full house with the Q♥Q♠ on a board of Q♦3♣2♦10♥2♣ to get back where he was only a few minutes ago.

Leonarez Eliminated by Chang
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jessie Leonarez defended his big blind to then check-jam the Q♣4♦3♠ flop after which he was instantly called by Huan Bin Chang.
Jessie Leonarez: Q♦7♠
Huan Bin Chang: A♠Q♠
Leonarez already gathered his belongings and was ready to leave when the 4♠ fell on the turn. The miracle escape never happened with the 5♦ river ending his tournament run for now. He can still re-enter until the start of level ten, however.

Intia Jams Up Stack Without Showdown
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Benigno Ledina raised to 2,500 and Valeriy Pak called from one seat over in the hijack. Jester Intia then three-bet to 17,500 on the button and Ledina tanked for a while, flat-called. That forced out Pak as the 9♥5♦4♣ flop followed. Ledina's check was met by a shove from Intia and the former folded the A♥K♥ face-up.

Chiu Eliminated by Paitao
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jen Chun Chiu had started well by cracking aces for a full double in the first level but from there on, nothing much went his way. Eventually, the player from Taiwan was whittled down to the starting stack and took on Rasid Paitao.
On a A♦K♠10♦ flop, Chiu bet 2,500 into 9,000 and was called before he check-called for 8,400 on the A♣ turn. The 5♠ river saw the shove of Chiu with the A♠8♦ and Paitao called him down with A♥J♠ for the superior kicker.
