Level 26 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Yi Yang open-jammed his shorter stack and was called by Yang Liu as both players revealed big aces.

Yi Yang: A♣Q♦ All in
Yang Liu: A♠K♣

While my Chinese knowledge is not existing, it appears that Yang asked for a queen by the time the turn showed J♠8♥2♥10♦ as all the other Chinese players at the table joked about this also. However, the river was the 2♠ and the kicker played to eliminate Yang in 30th place.

Level 26 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After losing a chunk of chips a couple of hands earlier, Jincheng Du pushed all in for 148,000 from the cutoff. Dong Chen woke up with a monster in the small blind and made the call to put Du at risk.

Jincheng Du: A♥J♠ All in
Dong Chen: A♠K♣

The flop fell Q♣6♥3♣ and Chen remained out front in a dominating position. The 7♦ and 3♦ runout provided no help for Du who was bounced from his seat and the tournament.

Level 26 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Three ways on a board of K♦A♠8♠Q♠ with approximately 70,000 already in the middle, Stephen Song checked from the small blind, Bin Wang checked from the big blind, and Xuanzhi Zhao checked behind from early position.

The 2♣ completed the board and Song led out for 35,000. Wang called after using a time bank and then Zhao used a time bank himself before putting in a raise to 160,000.

Song quickly folded and Wang followed suit after a lengthy tank.

"Show a bluff," Wang said. Zhao responded by turning over J♠9♠ for a turned flush as he collected the pot.

At another table, Xiangqian Gong was eliminated.

Yi Ye defended out of the big blind and then bet the Q♠8♣2♥J♦7♦ river for 55,000. Yang Liu called on the button and mucked when he was shown the J♣2♣ for turned two pair. One hand later, Ye won the next pot without showdown this time and further climbed up on the leaderboard.

Level 25 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Yi Ye raised from an early position and was looked up only by Zhanhui Zheng in the big blind by the time the turn showed A♣J♥4♦A♠. Zheng check-called for 50,000 to see the 6♦ on the river and checked again. Ye now pushed all-in for her last 61,000 and Zheng asked for a count before folding.

Level 25 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The final four tables have been reached and Chuan Luo made them but busted before he was given the new seat assignment.

That was due to the fact that he had lost the vast majority in a preflop all-in with 9♠9♥ against the 10♦10♥ of Jin Zeng. The board came A♣8♥4♥6♠Q♣ and Zeng banged his head on the table in excitement. Luo had 32,000 left and they disappeared shortly after.

Level 25 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action was folded around to Jincheng Du in the small blind who announced all in as the bigger stack. Yunkyu Song was in the big blind and patiently waited, in hopes of a payjump, before sticking in his last 42,000 from the big blind.

Yunkyu Song: K♦8♦ All in
Jincheng Du: A♣K♣

Despite being dominated preflop, the flop of J♥10♣9♠ gave Song some hope with another straight draw. However, it was the 8♥ on the turn that vaulted him into the lead and the 8♠ on the river secured him a double up to stay in the event.

Level 25 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Yi Liu shoved for his last 45,000 from under the gun and was called by Xiangqian Gong in the cutoff to be put at risk.

Yi Liu: J♣6♣ All in
Xiangqian Gong: A♥9♥

It wasn't a bad spot for Liu with two live cards, considering his desperate situation. However, the 2♥J♠A♦8♠7♥ runout favored Gong with a pair of aces and Liu was eliminated.
