Ding Le was all-in for only 5,500 and called by two players including Tsui Han Hsiao and Yauxin Chu. The two active players checked down the J♥10♥4♣8♠5♣ board and Le tabled his 9♠5♥, which was beaten by the K♣8♣ of Chu.
Shortly after, Emil Manukov sent Hein Aung to the rail and the table was left short-handed.
Level: 10
Blinds: 1,000/2,000

The end of level nine has been reached and that comes with a scheduled 15-minute break, during which the T-100 chips will be raced off. Some 439 players out of 659 entries remain and the late registration period will close once the players return to their seats.
Chao Nie doubled with Q♠Q♥ when that was the best hand against the mucked cards of Tuan Anh Dao on a board of K♣3♣2♦4♠3♥. He then more than happily called all-in preflop after his prior double with now more than the starting stack and was up against Chaipapat Gainitsin.
Chao Nie: A♣K♠ 
Chaipapat Gainitsin: A♥Q♣
The 7♣3♠3♥2♠2♦ board ensured the split pot.
The chips went into the middle preflop with Yuan Sun putting their hopes on the A♦8♦. Yauxin Chu tabled the K♥Q♣ and paired up on the Q♥5♥2♦5♠7♠ to send his opponent to the rail.
Pham Bao raised to 2,500 and Kai Loon Ang called in the next seat, Romit Advani then pushed for around 21,000 and forced folds all around. Advani claimed to have had kings and another player joked to have folded kings.
"They both had kings and king on the turn," Neng Zhao added with a smirk on the face.
The current big stack in the field is a few tables over in Hanson Vaz, who is approaching more than four starting stacks.
Level: 9
Blinds: 800/1,600
Ante: 1,600
Raj Sagar got his chips into the middle with the A♠J♦ and had a kicker problem, as Ayaka Iwasa tabled the A♣Q♣. Neither player connected with the K♥9♣6♦5♣3♦ board and ace-queen high was good enough for the win.
