Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Yawen Ren opened to 35,000 on the button and was called by Qiaonan Liu in the small blind. YoYo then shoved for their last 156,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Ren and a call from Liu.

Yoyo: Q♣Q♥ All in
Qiaonan Liu: K♠Q♠

The 6♥4♦2♥6♦J♣ runout kept Yoyo's ladies best and they were awarded the double up.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The action has been slow as of late, with many pots being taken down preflop.

On a few separate occasions, Christian Harder has raised the majority of his stack only to take it down preflop.

Harder is still on the short stack, however, and currently sits with about 180,000.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sebastian Ferreira shoved for his last 9,000 from under the gun and it was folded to Yoyo in middle position, who made it 32,000 to go. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Sebastian Ferreira: Q♣8♦ All in
Yoyo: A♣A♦

Ferreira was unlucky to run into aces, and the 9♣3♣5♠J♣6♦ runout didn't provide much of a sweat to send Ferreira out late in the evening.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Christian Harder opened to 20,000 from early position and found one caller in Yanchao Li in the big blind.

Li checked to Harder, who contined for 14,000 on the 3♥7♠Q♦ flop. Li used up a time bank before announcing he was all in for well over 100,000 total. Harder didn't take long to lay his hand down and Li was sent the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Xuejian Li shoved for approximately 50,000 from middle position and just behind him, Jiawei Yuan also went all in for more. Everyone else got out of the way and cards were revealed.

Xuejian Li: A♦3♠ All in
Jiawei Yuan: 2♦2♠

It was a fair fight, but the 6♦4♦2♥ gave Yuan a commanding lead with a set of deuces.

The 2♣ turn improved Yuan to quads and left Li drawing dead.

A 3♣ river made the elimination official and Yuan was sent the rest of Li's chips.
