Xiaqing Ji opened to 100,000 from under the gun holding K♣10♦ and was three bet to 250,000 by Jiawei Yuan in the big blind with Q♠Q♣. Ji mulled it over, but decided to flat call.
Both players checked on the 10♣3♥6♣ flop and Yuan checked again on the J♣ turn. Ji bet 65,000 with his pair of tens and Yuan check-raised to 200,000. Undeterred, Ji made it 550,000 to go — sending Yuan deep into the tank.
Yuan eventually decided to push back by shoving, which was enough to put Ji all in for his last million. Ji thought better of it and laid his hand down — conceding the sizable pot to Yuan, who has overtaken the chip lead.

Jia Wang opened to 100,000 first to act holding 8♠8♣ and was three-bet to 230,000 by Jiawei Yuan in the hijack with A♣10♦. Action folded back to Wang, who called.
The flop came 4♥J♥9♦ and Wang checked to Yuan, who shoved for 935,000. Wang tanked a while before laying the best hand down and Yuan collected the pot.

Jia Wang opened to 100,000 from early position and it was folded to Jinsui Fan, who used up two time banks before announcing he was all in for 450,000 total from the big blind. Wang quickly called and a showdown was held.
Jinsui Fan: A♦K♥
Jia Wang: 10♣10♠
It was a fair fight, but the A♠A♣4♥ flop favored Fan by immediately improving him to trip aces.
The 3♣ turn left Wang drawing to two out for the elimination, but instead the A♥ came on the river to needlessly upgrade Fan to quads for the overkill double up.

Xinyuan Yang opened to 80,000 from the cutoff and just behind him, Yawen Ren shoved for 360,000 total. The action folded back to Yang, who called to put Ren's tournament life at risk.
Yawen Ren: A♠Q♥
Xinyuan Yang: A♣K♣
It was unlucky timing from Ren, who found himself dominated against Yang's Big Slick.
The board ran out 5♠6♣4♠4♦10♦ — providing no help to Ren and eliminating him in eighth place.

Xiaqing Ji opened to 80,000 from early position and action folded to Xiaoyan Xu, who committed her final 190,000 into the middle from the cutoff.
Action folded back to Ji, who called to put Xu at risk.
Xiaoyan Xu: A♥8♠
Xiaqing Ji: Q♣J♠
Xu was the favorite to double up and the 9♥9♦6♣ flop and 5♣ turn came safe for her, but the J♥ landed on the river to pair Ji's jack and eliminate Xu in dramatic fashion in ninth place.
