Pau Sanroma got his chips in with the K♥5♥ but found no help for around ten blinds against the J♦J♠ of Pierre Mothes on a board of Q♣J♥4♣K♣3♠. The latter had started the day among the shorter stacks but since tripled what he began with.
One hand later, Manabu Sato raised to 20,000 and Mothes called on the button. Chi Thanh Duong three-bet to 95,000 in the small blind and forced out both opponents.

Minh Thang Tran was spotted on the way out of the tournament and he could not beat the A♣J♣ of Ciaran Farrell on a board of 7♥4♦4♥J♠K♦ to bow out.
Next to bust was Shicheng Ji when he got it in with K♠6♦ and was isolated by Li-Chen Tsai with the A♠J♥ in the small blind. The 8♣3♣2♠A♦8♠ board left Ji drawing dead on the turn.
