Padilha was bluffing with K♠9♠ and folded. Ponakovs had 10♥10♦ for a set of tens and was searching for value.

Level 25 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Pedro Padilha raised to 550,000 from the button, and when it folded to Yang Wang in the big blind, he three-bet all in for his stack of 3,200,000. Padilha snap-called to put Wang at risk.

Yang Wang: A♣9♥ All in
Pedro Padilha: A♥A♦

Wang ran right into the aces of Padilha, and there was no miracle runout this time, as the board came 5♠5♥K♦3♠K♥ and Padilha would take the pot, eliminating Wang in seventh place.

Level 25 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Ye Wang opened to 550,000 from the cutoff and was called by Pedro Padilha from the small blind. Klemens Roiter then shoved for 2,575,000 from the big blind. Wang called after some thought before Padilha folded his A♥J♣.

Klemens Roiter: A♠J♦ All in
Ye Wang: K♣10♣

Despite being behind, the good news for Wang was that two of Roiter's cards were already accounted for but the 8♦3♠2♣ flop offered no help. Roiter remained ahead following the Q♠ turn and locked up the double after the J♠ river.

Level 25 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Ye Wang raised to 500,000 from early position and was called by Eelis Parssinen in the big blind.

The flop came K♣10♦4♠ Parssinen check-called a bet of 350,000 from Wang.

After the 8♠ on the turn, Wang bet out 1,200,000 and Parssinen quickly moved all in for just 200,000 more, and Wang called to put him at risk.

Eelis Parssinen: 4♦4♣ All in
Ye Wang: A♥J♦

Parssinen flopped a set and would need to only fade the gut shot Broadway draw of Wang. The river brought the 7♥ and Parssinen secured the double up.

Level 25 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Manuel Fritz opened to 500,000 from early position and Jean-Noel Thorel defended the big blind.

Thorel check-called for 300,000 on the Q♠Q♣8♣ flop, bringing in the 4♥ turn. Thorel did the same for 1,200,000.

The 6♥ river completed the board, and a third check came from Thorel. He had 3,000,000 behind and Fritz wanted it all, jamming as the bigger stack. Thorel, after some thought, called for his tournament life.

Thorel hero-called with 6♣5♣ but his queens and sixes were no good as Fritz tabled K♠K♣.

Level 25 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Ye Wang raised to 500,000 from early position with 10♠10♦, which was just called by Manuel Fritz on his left, holding A♦Q♦.

The flop came K♥6♦K♦ keeping Wang in front but giving Fritz a flush draw. Wang opted to bet out 425,000, and Fritz made the call.

The turn brought the 10♥ giving Wang a full house, and Wang bet out 875,000, which Fritz again called.

Fritz bricked his flush draw but did make a pair on the Q♠ river. Wang then sized up with a bet of 3,400,000, and Fritz took his time before mucking his pair, allowing the pot to go to Wang.
