On a flop of K♥10♣7♣, Edward Teo check-raised to 12,000 and An Dong Van Nguyen then jammed for 15,500 on the button for Teo to call.
An Dong Van Nguyen: A♠J♣ 
Edward Teo: K♦9♣
The J♦ turn gave Nguyen an inferior pair and the 7♥ river sent him to the rail.

Ivan Doroshin had lost a big portion of his stack in the opening stages but hung around long enough to find a double through Mathieu Coulon. He got it in preflop with the A♣K♠ and Coulon's A♦J♠ found no connection to the 10♥9♠4♣8♦2♣ board.

There was a little uproar on table 31 when two Chinese players got their chips into the middle, both among the shorter stacks on their table and in the field. Minqi Yu and Shusen Liu were involved with A♠J♠ and A♥9♥ respectively, and the latter hit a nine on the flop.
However, the board ran out a ten-high straight flush in diamonds and they chopped it up.

With around 30,000 in the middle to the Q♠J♦2♥K♥ turn, Saleh Naser check-raised all-in for 46,100 total and Quanhao Chen called after he had invested 18,000 already.
Saleh Naser: K♣J♥
Quanhao Chen: A♦K♠
Chen needed an ace or ten but the 3♥ river awarded the double to Naser.
One hand later, Ziwei Wang was all-in for a short stack of just 15,900 and looked up by Chen.
Ziwei Wang: K♦Q♥
Quanhao Chen: A♦3♠
The ace remained ahead all the way on the 8♠7♣6♦A♣6♠ board and left Wang drawing dead on the turn.

A severe short stack was all-in with 5♥2♥ and covered by another shorter stack holding the 5♣5♠. Howard Appledorf had been the initial raiser and snap-called with a smirk, saying "guess it is three of us" moments before exposing the A♣A♦.
There was no upset on the K♥6♦4♦Q♠10♦ board and Appledorf sent two opponents to the rail.
