Quan Zhou opened to 1,800 from the hijack and action folded to Jie Song in the big blind, who shoved for his last 9,500. Zhou verified the amount and stuck in a call to put Song at risk.
Jie Song: A♣J♦
Quan Zhou: 8♥8♣
The Q♦J♥8♠ flop improved Zhou to a set, which leaft Song drawing to a runner-runner straight or full house.
The 5♣ turn ensured Song's elimination and an irrelevant 6♣ filled out the board to send Song's remaining chips Zhou's way.
Zhou, who is a regular in the high roller scene with over $12 million in live-tournament earnings, is up to 44,300.
While the number of total entrants keeps climbing, a nearly equal amount of players have been eliminated as the turbo structure has ensured fast action.
The event is now up to 434 entrants. Of those, 244 remain.

Last October, The Lord Poker Tour was in Brisbane for the $15,000 Main Event, with Andy Lee earning the title and $205,305 after a heads-up deal.
The Sydney resident outlasted a stacked final table, which saw the top seven players make the money. Australian Travis Endersby took home the most money, but had to settle for the runner-up spot as Lee won the final showdown after the pair agreed to an ICM chop.
| Rank | Player | Country | Prize |
| 1 | Andy Lee | Australia | $205,305* |
| 2 | Travis Endersby | Australia | $214,045* |
| 3 | Yisha Chen | China | $116,000 |

Zhihui Yin opened to 1,500 from middle position and found one caller in Rui Gao on the button.
Yin check-called an 1,100 bet from Gao on the J♠J♥9♦ flop and the both players checked on the 8♠ turn.
The A♦ came on the river and Yin took the initiative with a bet of 2,800. Gao wanted nothing to do with it and let his hand go — conceding the pot to Yin, who currently sits with about three times a starting stack.
