flop, before the 
turn went check, check. On the 
river, Buddiga checked and folded to a bet worth 50,000 by Ivey.

Peter Chan opened to 26,000 from the button and John Juanda pushed from the small blind. Chan asked for a count and the shove was for 196,000, which Chan called.
John Juanda: 
Peter Chan: 
The flop of was bad news for Juanda, as Chan had found the nut straight. Then, the turn made things spicy again as a queen or king would give Juanda a full house. It was the 
on the river that ensured a split pot and Chan smiled and said "I feared the king, so it could have been worse."
There are still 17 players remaining, a redraw will take place after the next elimination. The other short stack is Yu Liang with a similar stack as Juanda, same applies for Jack Salter at the same table.

Level 12
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Peter Chan raised to 26,000 from under the gun and John Juanda moved all in for his last 81,000 in the cutoff. Erik Seidel reshoved from the small blind and Chan called to put two opponents at risk of elimination.
John Juanda:
Erik Seidel:
Peter Chan:
"Nobody has hearts, come on," Juanda said and he got a sweat on the 
flop. The 
turn gave him a flush, and he said "don't do it," as a paired board would have improved Seidel to a full house and a queen would give Chan the nut straight. A blank 
river completed the board and Phil Ivey said a dry "you came in third" to Chan.
Juanda tripled up, while Seidel doubled through Chan for 158,000 after having paid off Juanda.

: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Coming back from the break, Benjamin Wu only had 120,000 left and was in the big blind. Devan Tang open-shoved from the small blind and Wu double-checked his cards. "Oh damn," Tang said before the cards were flipped over.
Benjamin Wu:
Devan Tang: 
The flop fell 
and Tang showed no reaction, then realized what had just happened as the fell on the turn with a "oh shit". Tang asked for a six to ensure a split pot, but a blank river was a blank to eliminate Wu with a bad beat story to tell.
