Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Down to only 10,300 in chips, Jie Qi was all-in with the A♦Q♥ and his table neighbour Xuanzhi Zhao looked him up with the superior A♠K♥. The K♣10♥2♣6♥2♠ board kept the preflop order all the way to send Qi to the rail near the end of level six.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Yunkyu Song bet the Q♦Q♣9♦5♠ turn for 7,200 and Kaihua Liu called in the next seat, which led them to the A♥ on the river. Song moved all-in for 16,400 and was called rather quickly without using any time bank.

Song tabled his A♦Q♠ for queens full of aces and Liu only had J♠10♥ for a bluff catcher gone wrong.

Down to around 2,000 and in the big blind next, Liu was at risk preflop with 4♠2♦ against the A♥10♦ of Waichen Wang from under the gun. Wang made broadway on the K♠Q♥7♣8♥J♦ runout.

Waichen Wang	55,000 55,000	55,000
Yunkyu Song	54,000 29,000	29,000

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

One of the most recently opened tables features several new faces and among them, Zida Chen has started the best and was involved in a single-raised four-way pot. They all checked the K♠5♥4♦ flop and Xian Xiao then bet the K♦ turn for 2,000 out of the small blind. That received no callers and Xiao won the pot.

One table over, Yang Hu vanished and the chips once more went to the early chip leader Qun Dang.

Player	Chips	Progress
Qun Dang	70,000 14,000	14,000
Zida Chen	36,000
Xian Xiao	27,000 2,000	2,000
Yang Hu	Busted
