Taylor Black opened to 2,500 in early position and was called by Jieming Xu on the button. Sean Ooi three-bet to 12,500 from the big blind and Black made it 30,000 to go. Xu quickly folded but Ooi called as they went heads-up to a flop of K♥4♣2♥.
Ooi checked to Black who made a small bet of 10,000 and Ooi called. The K♠ paired the board on the turn and both players checked to the Q♣ on the river. Two more checks and Ooi tabled 9♠9♣ which Black was unable to beat.

The action started with an under-the-gun raise to 2,500 by Calvin Lee and Gavin three-bet to 6,500 in the next seat. Dan "Jungleman" Cates reraised to 15,000 and Toan Chan Truong called in the small blind. Lee also called the four-bet before Gavin five-bet to 106,500. Cates quickly called and the other two players folded.
Following the J♦4♥3♦ flop, Gavin bet 61,000 with 50,000 behind and instantly called all-in when Cates jammed on him.
Gavin: K♦K♣
Dan Cates: J♣J♥
The Q♥ turn and 4♦ river failed to keep Gavin in the mix and Cates vividly declared "Jungleman" while glancing down on his phone.

Three ways to the 8♣7♣4♣ flop, Benson Su bet 5,000 and Vietnam's Toan Chan Truong called. Calvin Lee on the button then raised to 25,000 and Su quickly folded. Truong gave it some thought and sent the cards into the muck as well.
After the hand finished, Bin Leng sat down between Su and Truong and Ivan Zhang jokingly asked if he can swap seats with him.

Renji Mao raised to 2,500 on the button and Calvin Lee three-bet to 12,000 from the small blind. Mao responded with a four-bet to 30,000 and Lee just called. The flop fell K♠10♦8♣ and Lee check-called a bet of 21,000 from Mao.
The 3♣ peeled off on the turn and Lee checked again. Mao counted out a bet of 60,000 and that proved to be enough to force Lee out of the hand.
