Zhou Spikes a Barry

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Returning from the break, Yunpeng Jiang wasted little time before getting the last of his 350,000 chips in the middle. He found himself up against Quan Zhou but Jiang was in a good position to double up.

Yunpeng Jiang: Q♠Q♣ All in
Quan Zhou: A♥Q♦

The flop fell J♠9♦4♥ and Jiang was still in a comfortable lead with his pair of queens. The J♦ on the turn changed nothing but it was the A♦ on the river that gave Zhou the better hand and Jiang was eliminated.

Level 14 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

It was a long last hand that unfolded over on table nine in which Mauricio Salazar Sanchez opened, Charles Chao called and Gary Thompson then three-bet to 120,000. Only Salazar Sanchez called and they headed to the Q♥J♣9♠ flop, on which Thompson bet 80,000 and Salazar Sanchez called.

Thompson used a time bank on the 3♣ turn and made it 145,000 to go, Salazar Sanchez called once more.

After the 5♠ river, Thompson used another time bank and then pushed all-in for 295,000. Salazar Sanchez likewise needed extra time and used two time banks before he ended up folding five minutes into the second break of the day.

Mauricio Salazar Sanchez	1,160,000 325,000	325,000
Gary Thompson	1,050,000 150,000	150,000

Level 14 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Minh Quang Nguyen and Yilu Yuan engaged in a three-bet pot with around 200,000 in the middle preflop. The flop came 7♦5♠3♠ and Yuan led out with a bet of 100,000 from the small blind. Nguyen called and the 8♣ landed on the turn.

Yuan fired out another bet of 100,000 and Nguyen stuck around for the 6♦ on the river. Yuan checked this time and Nguyen counted out a bet of 425,000. Yuan had enough of this hand and dumped his cards in the muck, sending Nguyen over the two-million-chip mark.

Minh Quang Nguyen	2,000,000 350,000	350,000
Yilu Yuan	840,000 285,000	285,000

Level 14 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The chips continue to fly left and right during the final stages of the re-entry period and the latest player to bust has been Guangcheng Chen. He put his hopes on Q♦7♦ for second pair on the 10♣7♣6♦ flop and Ami Barer looked him up with A♠10♠ for the top pair and top kicker.

Nothing changed with the 5♥ turn and 2♣ river and the field of hopefuls was reduced by one for the time being.

Player	Chips	Progress
Yunkyu Song	1,450,000 50,000	50,000
Ami Barer	800,000 254,000	254,000
