Several players were on their feet on the feature table as Wai Kiat Lee was all-in against William Teoh.
Lee had just flat-called preflop and check-raised a 10♥6♦3♥ flop to then call a push by Teoh. He revealed the A♥A♦ and was up against Teoh with the 8♠6♠. The 6♥ turn gave Teoh trips and Lee missed the nut flush draw when the 5♣ river completed the board.
Paul Fontan Castrillon raised to 40,000 on the button and then folded when Fei Chen three-bet to 500,000 out of the big blind.
Winfred Yu raise-folded against Sriharsha Doddapaneni, who then also raised to 70,000 when Gary Thompson limped. This time, the shorter stack didn't budge as Thompson went over the top and forced out Doddapaneni.
Soon after his exit, Wai Kiat Lee opted to re-enter and was joined on the registration desk by Wei Hsiang Yeu, who had been eliminated on Day 1. This brought the field up to 29 entries of which 15 players remain across two tables.
The next preflop shove by Xingyu Ren followed and this time, he was looked up by William Jia from one seat over.
Xingyu Ren: A♦2♦
William Jia: 9♦9♥
The J♠10♥3♦5♣J♥ runout provided some equity but no help, as Ren departed from the feature table.
Xingyu Ren once more pushed all-in and this time, Eng Soon Ewe called for the last 170,000 out of the small blind. Ajitpal Singh was rubbing his hands before checking the cards but couldn't call to put two players at risk.
Eng Soon Ewe: Q♦Q♥
Xingyu Ren: A♦4♦
The board ran out 7♣6♠3♥2♥K♠ and Ewe doubled. While the short stack survived, the first player to bust was then a surprise. Former big stack Wai Kiat Lee had distributed his chips all over the table and was spotted on his way to the rail.
William Jia has taken over the lead on the feature table that has not started streaming yet while Eng Soon Ewe and Xingyu Ren dropped to a very short stack. Gary Thompson got a shove through for 265,000 as William Teoh opted to muck the A♦ while in the big blind.
Picking up the action on the K♣K♠3♥J♥ turn, Sriharsha Doddapaneni bet 85,000 out of the small blind and Gary Thompson called on the button. The J♣ river paired the board for the second time and Doddapaneni checked.
Thompson checked it back and then all but grinned when he was shown the A♣K♥ for a full house by Doddapaneni.
Level: 13
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 20,000
Sriharsha Doddapaneni opened the action with a button raise to 35,000 and Wai Loon Ng in the small blind three-bet to 150,000. William Teoh called out of the big blind and the initial raiser folded.
Ng continued for 55,000 on the K♥7♠2♠ flop but folded once Teoh raised it up to 160,000.
Paul Fontan Castrillon was the player at risk for a mere 205,000 and flipped for his tournament life, as he tabled the A♦K♣. Fei Chen had the underpair in 10♣10♥ and couldn't hold on the Q♣8♦2♣K♦J♠ runout, as the Spaniard scored a double.,
