Phachara Wongwichit raised to 8,000 from the cutoff and Takashi Ogura was up next to act. Ogura put in a stack of 5,000-chips to put Wongwichit all-in and the blinds quickly folded. Wongwichit took a few seconds to think about it and then called.
Phachara Wongwichit: 
Takashi Ogura: 
The flop came 
to give Ogura a set of sixes and Wongwichit got up from his chair. The 
on the turn gave Wongwichit a straight draw but the 
on the river was a brick for him and he was sent to the rail.

Chung Yuan Yu raised to 11,500 from under the gun and was called by Yi Fan Yang in the cutoff. Mark Hammond was sitting on the button and shoved. The blinds folded so action was back on Yu who asked for a count. The dealer confirmed Hammond had 64,500 in total. Yu tanked for a bit, looked at his cards again and then reluctantly folded. Yang wasn't sure what to do either and confirmed the amount again. He cut out calling chips and then looked at the remainder of his own stack. Yang grabbed the calling chips and played with them. He then put them all over the line to call.
Mark Hammond: 
Yi Fan Yang: 
The board ran out 
to give Yang the higher pair on the flop to eliminate Hammond from the tournament.
