Renji Mao opened to 35,000 in early position and Yuefeng Pan shoved all in for 140,000 on his left. Taylor Black also pushed all in for 340,000 in the small blind and Mao quickly called as the big stack.
Yuefeng Pan: A♦J♦
Taylor Black: A♠A♥
Renji Mao: K♠K♣
It was a cooler between Black and Mao with Pan stuck in the middle as the short stack. The board ran out Q♣7♦3♣2♣8♦ and Mao nearly scored a double elimination after picking up a flush draw but instead was forced to concede a healthy pot to Black.

Xiao Zhu raised to 30,000 in middle position and Jincheng Du jammed all in for 315,000 on his left. The action folded back to Zhu who called, shouting "Let's gamble!" as he did.
Jincheng Du: K♣Q♣
Xiao Zhu: 4♠4♦
The flop of 5♠5♥3♥ boded well for Zhu who was holding the small pocket pair. However, the Q♠ on the turn quickly flipped the script as Du picked up the better two pair. The 10♣ on the river changed nothing and Du doubled up, leaving Zhu on the short stack.

Ami Barer raised to 30,000 in early position and Yinan Zhou three-bet to 65,000 on his left. The action folded back to Barer who four-bet shoved all in and Zhou quickly called off his stack of 505,000.
Yinan Zhou: Q♥Q♦
Ami Barer: A♦K♥
It was a classic flip and the flop of J♠J♣7♦ favored Zhou with the pocket queens. Barer was unable to catch up on the 4♠ and J♦ runout as he slipped to one of the shorter stacks in the field.

It didn't take long for the first casualties to unfold once re-entries were no longer permitted and among those to bust was also Jingxuan Zhu, who ran into the A♠A♦ of Junbo Qu on a board of 9♥8♣5♠7♥Q♣ and couldn't beat them.

Harry was a short stack and under the gun as he ripped all in for his last 165,000 chips. It nearly got through as the rest of the table folded except for Junbo Qu in the big blind.
Harry: 8♥7♦
Junbo Qu: 5♠5♣
The flop of J♠10♣10♦ gave Harry plenty of outs with two over cards, a straight draw, and counterfeit outs. The 2♠ on the turn was a brick but the 7♣ on the river was exactly what Harry was looking for in order to stay alive.
