Marius Gierse opened to 50,000 in the hijack and was called by Huawei Lin in the small blind. Yuzhu Wang shoved all in for 480,000 in the big blind and Gierse called while Lin stepped aside.
Yuzhu Wang: 9♣9♦
Marius Gierse: 10♥10♦
Wang found himself pipped by the pocket pair of Gierse and the runout of A♣8♦5♦Q♥A♠ was no help as he was eliminated.
In order to run deep in tournaments, players often have to take crucial flips and one of them just unfolded over on table five with Jiaming Zhao all-in and at risk for 780,000 against Lei Yu.
Jiaming Zhao: A♥K♥
Lei Yu: Q♣Q♠
The K♣10♠6♠6♣9♠ board improved Zhao to the superior two pair and he doubled for 780,000, more than halving Yu's stack.
Over on the live stream feature table, a suddenly short-stacked Haohui Ma was all-in with 10♦9♦ against the K♠K♣ of Stephen Song on the button.
There were plenty of red cards on the 5♥4♦2♥K♥7♥ board but only one diamond, who sent the start-of-the-day chip leader to the rail.
After a couple of preflop raises, Haobin Wang got all of his 255,000 chips in the middle and was up against James Mendoza with the bigger of the two stacks.
Haobin Wang: 6♠6♣
James Mendoza: A♠K♥
The flop fell A♣7♦2♣ and Mendoza took the lead with a pair of aces. The A♥ on the turn improved Mendoza as Wang stood up from his seat. However, the 6♦ smacked the river and the entire table let out an uproar as Wang scored a double up.
The new live stream feature table saw a larger clash between Calvin Lee on the button and Nevan Chang in the small blind.
Nevan Chang: J♦10♦
Calvin Lee: A♥K♠
The 8♠6♥4♥ flop changed nothing but the A♠ turn left Chang drawing dead to the J♥ river.
Gary Thompson quickly climbed the leaderboard after the dinner break and was sitting on a stack of nearly 3,000,000 chips. After Martin Nielsen raised to 50,000 in middle position, Thompson defended from the big blind.
The flop fell A♣J♠J♦ and Thompson check-called a bet of 25,000 from Nielsen. The turn was the 3♠ and both players checked to the K♥ on the river. Thompson checked once more and Nielsen put together a bet of 115,000. Thompson quickly called and Nielsen showed A♥K♣ for a winner.
Martin Sedlak raised to 50,000 from the hijack and Yunkyu Song defended the big blind. Following a 6♠6♣4♥ flop, Song chekc-raised from 35,000 to 85,000 and Sedlak called. The 9♣ turn saw Song use one time bank and bet 200,000. Sedlak needed extra time as well and folded with a short stack behind.
Yunkyu Song raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Quan Zhou reraised to 175,000 on the button. Song called and they went heads-up to a flop of Q♣10♦3♠.
Song started with a check and Zhou counted out a bet of 160,000. Song check-raised to 420,000 and Zhou dumped his cards in the muck.
Jinlong Wu pushed for only 130,000 in the cutoff and Supeng Pang reluctantly called in the big blind.
Once the cards were revealed, Pang grimaced when he was shown the A♥A♣ of Wu as he only held the 8♥5♣.
There were some groans on the 7♠6♣3♠ flop when Pang had an open-ended straight draw. It missed on the 2♥ turn but the 4♥ river sent Wu to the rail.
