Level 39 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Philipp Zukernik open-jammed for the last 16,000,000 from the cutoff and Alex Lee called in the small blind with the marginally covering stack.

Philipp Zukernik: A♥5♦ All in
Alex Lee: A♦K♦

The A♣Q♣9♦ flop gave both players the top pair and the 8♥ turn changed nothing. With three outs left, Zukernik spiked the 5♣ on the river and then jumped out of his chair in celebration. Lee was left with a fraction of a big blind.

Level 40 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Chip leader Haoran Sun applied maximum pressure on the two shortest stacks and they were both all-in in the same hand, Hong Cai from the cutoff for 200,000 and Duhan Lee for 3,700,000 total via big blind ante and big blind.

Both big stacks limped in and checked down the entire board of 10♥8♥6♦9♥4♥.

Cai showed the 8♦3♥ for a flush with the trey, which beat the 10♦5♦ of Philipp Zukernik and the 9♦4♣ of Haoran Sun. However, the 5♥2♦ by Lee had the superior flush and sent Cai to the rail in fourth place.
