There was a raise to 6,000 and Yuzhu Wang just called from the small blind. Christopher Park reraised to 28,500 in the big blind and only Wang called. The flop came Q♦10♣3♠ and Wang check-called a bet of 16,000 from Park.
The turn was the 9♣ and both players checked to the 6♠ on the river. Wang checked once more and Park used a time bank before dropping in a huge bet of 200,000. Wang instantly leaned back in his chair and threw in his one and only time bank remaining.
As the clock was ticking down, Wang threw in a chip to call and Park turned over K♠K♦ for an overpaid. Wang was left with J♥J♣ and was forced to pay off his opponent.

Picking up the action on the J♣7♥4♣5♥ turn, Jumiao She checked and then faced a bet of 27,000 by Lei Yu. She check-raised to 55,000 and Yu stuck around to the 8♠ river. She check-called for 95,000 and Yu briefly flashed his cards but instantly mucked when when She revealed the 7♦7♣ for a set.
In the next hand, She raised to 7,000 and her table neighbour Liang Chen three-bet to 21,000. Yu pushed for 116,500 and forced reluctant folds from both.

A completed board of Q♣9♣5♦6♣6♥ was spread across the felt with around 40,000 chips in the middle. Gary Thompson and Sean Ooi were left heads-up in the pot from the blinds and Thomson was first to act, sliding in an overbet of 87,000 and leaving himself with a single 500 chip behind.
Ooi asked for a count before his clock started and then proceeded to use time bank after time bank, for nearly three minutes. Ooi eventually threw his cards in the muck and Thompson was awarded the pot.

After their previous tussle, Jingjie Zhang and Yang Liu were at it again and this time all of the chips went into the middle after the J♦7♦4♦J♥ turn.
Zhang was at risk for 48,000 with 7♣7♠ for sevens full of jacks and the K♦2♦ for the king-high flush of Liu had zero equity ahead of the 3♣ river.

There was a raise in early position and Christian Harder three-bet to 20,000 on the button. Qian Xiong four-bet to 55,000 from the big blind and the action was back on Harder who just called.
The flop came 8♣7♥5♣ and both players checked through to the 3♦ on the turn and the 2♠ on the river. After two more checks, Xiong turned over A♣Q♦ but it was no good as Harder held A♥K♠ to grab the pot.
