Nikhil Kedia: 10♥10♠
The pocket pair remained all the way on the K♥7♦5♣6♦4♥ board and that spelled the end for Zhang in 13th place for 721,000 THB; ensuring a pay jump to 902,000 THB for all other 12 hopefuls.

On the live stream table, Nikhil Kedia was all-in for his severe short stack and had the most classic of flips for 1,800,000 in the cutoff. He was looked up by Mingzhe Zhang in the small blind who jammed for 3,000,000 to isolate.
Nikhil Kedia: Q♥Q♣
Mingzhe Zhang: A♠K♦
The board ran out 10♠4♦3♥10♥2♠ and Kedia doubled, but remained in the danger zone while pulling Zhang deep into misery.

Chi Wei Lo won the chip race but was forced all-in for a full big blind in the very first hand on the outer table. Shaohung Yu moved all-in for his last 900,000 and Hong Cai called in the small blind.
Chi Wei Lo: J♣4♦
Shaohung Yu: Q♠J♦
Hong Cai: 7♣5♠
The 10♥7♠2♥ flop vaulted Cai into the lead which he retained with the 9♥ turn. However, the Q♦ river gave Yu the superior pair and he nearly tripled, while Lo bowed out in 14th place.
