With up to 140 entries at the end of level six, the 104 remaining players have been sent on their first 15-minute break of the day. The late registration is open for another three levels and an extended break is expected upon completion of level 12.
One of the Chinese players had a very loud argument near the cashier with another player and stormed into the tournament area to then vividly explain what happened, though my language skills don't reach as far to understand what had happened.
Said player then simply moved all-in a couple of times preflop without too much care for the end result but didn't receive any caller.
The action somewhat escalated as the field size jumped to 140 entries with 106 players remaining.

Whether it was a missclick or not, Juhong She raised to 10,000 and Dong Chen called in the next seat. Xin Tong then called all-in for less and everyone else folded. She check-folded the 9♠5♦5♠ flop when Chen bet 20,000.
Xin Tong: 8♣8♦
Dong Chen: A♦7♥
The 7♣ turn and Q♣ river ensured the triple up for Tong.

After a preflop raising war, Zhenfang Huang had moved all-in for 15,700 and Henglin Liu called with less than that behind. Xian Xiao then reraised all-in to 28,000 and Liu reluctantly called.
Zhenfang Huang: Q♦Q♠
Henglin Liu: Q♥Q♣
Xian Xiao: A♣A♠
Xiao had best case scenario and was huge favourite to knock out two opponents. The 9♦7♣2♣5♥5♦ board and the stacks were counted. Liu's 27,400 were covered and the two of them hit the rail.

On a heads-up turn of 5♦2♣2♥9♣, Jin Zeng bet 4,000 and Yu Chen raised it up to 11,000. Zeng clicked it back to 24,000 and Chen folded.
In the very next hand, Hongyu Li jammed over the top of a limp by Weijue Cai, who eventually called the 7,300 shove with A♦2♦. Li needed help holding the K♣6♣ and made trips on the K♦5♠2♣K♠A♥ runout.

With around 11,000 in the middle to the Q♣9♠7♣6♠A♥ river, Yanghui Zhang used one time bank in the big blind and then bet 8,200 with 10,000 behind. Saier Jin on the button mulled it over for a bit and then placed a single chip for the call.
Zhang tabled the 10♥8♠ for the nut straight to earn a decent pot.

The chips continue to fly with one dozen casualties so far heading into level five and the latest player to bust was Dian Shan.
He had flopped top pair with a decent kicker when the money went in after the A♣6♦2♣9♣ turn. However, Yunlong Jin happily called with the 6♠6♥ for a set of sixes and had the elimination locked up already. Shan was drawing dead with the A♠Q♦ and the Q♣ river was a formality.
