Japanese influencer and professional model Ayana Taniguchi was spotted over on table 301 and floor staff told us that she tripled up with pocket aces to become one of the current chip leaders in the field near the end of level eight. She currently has more than five times the starting stack at her disposal.

Former big stack ta0802 was seen all-in and at risk with a severe short stack and earned calls from two opponents including Kikurin3. The two larger stacks checked down the 8♦6♥3♦J♥6♥ board and ta0802 showed his K♠10♦, which couldn't beat 9♥8♠ and A♦8♥.

ryuuya was all-in for just shy of the starting stack with Q♠Q♣ and faced off against A♣9♣. The 9♦8♦8♠ flop gave his opponents a few more outs, but the pocket pair came out on top of the 7♣ turn and 5♦ river.

In the last few minutes, there was an all-in and call announcement by the dealers across multiple tables and the screens updated to 154 entries of which some 93 players remained. ryan0504 bemoaned to "never be lucky today" after his latest all-in with 9♣8♦ versus A♦K♦ saw him only in front on the flop of a 8♠4♣3♦K♥A♥ board.
Ketone knocked out two players when K♠K♣ held versus two inferior pairs and a short stack then pushed on the same table from the button with 6♠2♠ to get called by 10♦9♥ in the big blind - ten-high won it. That about sums up the current action at the tables in level seven.

It remains unclear when exactly the chips went into the middle but Masato just benefited from a big move by his table neighbour, who jammed into him with Q♦4♦ on a board of 9♣8♣3♣2♠3♦. They weren't getting rid of Masato though who flopped the flush with Q♣J♣ and doubled into a larger stack.

On a flop of 10♦9♠3♥, a shorter stack on a new table got the chips into the middle with the Q♥9♦ for the second pair and needed to improve against kiwi1027, who held K♥K♠ for an overpair. The 8♦ turn gave the player at risk some additional equity but the 4♥ river bricked off.

The player who had entered on table 308 and quickly doubled up their stack was not able to maintain that streak and he just got it in with A♣5♣ against the A♥Q♥ of wataru33. The kicker played on the A♠6♦3♣8♣9♥ runout as clubs missed and that spelled the end for them. On the way out, he told hiro1988 what cards he had in a hand they played earlier on.
