Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Manh Hung Nguyen had min-raised just before the blinds went up and then folded against two short stack jams.

Vladislac Klepikov: A♦6♦ All in
Abhijith Cheruku: A♣6♠

The 8♣7♦2♠10♦3♠ board nearly brought the suckout but Klepikov missed the freeroll double with another diamond.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Avi Cohen got his shorter stack into the middle with the 6♦6♠ and was looked up by Chen-An Lin with the A♥Q♦. The over cards struck on the A♠9♦8♦2♠A♦ board to send Cohen to the rail, though, he can still enter Day 1d.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a duel of short stacks, Vietnam's Bui The Nguyen was ahead when he got it in with A♦K♥ against the K♦Q♦ of Sungmin Cho.

However, the Q♠7♥3♥9♥9♦ runout gave Cho the superior hand and a disappointed Nguyen snapped a picture of the outcome before leaving the tournament area.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a rare hand without all-in and call preflop, Lester Leung defended the big blind against a button raise and invested 50,000 on the 7♠6♦2♠3♥ turn. Both checked the 3♦ river and Leung showed the 9♥8♠ for a missed straight draw.

Savva had that beat with the 10♦7♦ to win the pot and move up further on the leaderboard.

Enrong Weng pushed all-in for 91,000 and was called only by Tongkai Hatsathon who had the marginally covering stack,

Tongkai Hatsathon: K♣10♦

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Abhijith Cheruku ran into the pocket jacks of Zhiqiang Meng, who made quads to score the knockout in style.

In the next hand, another player from India was involved in the action when Kiril Agapov jammed and was called by Thiyam Singh for his last 164,000.

Kiril Agapov: J♦J♣ All in
Thiyam Singh: A♠K♥

This time, pocket jacks were no good on the Q♣8♣3♥7♥K♣ runout.

Thiyam Singh	825,000 435,000	435,000

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The levels pass by quickly and so do the eliminations with fewer than 90 hopefuls still left in contention. No longer among them is Taiwanese poker pro Chen-An Lin after bowing out in a setup hand versus Chuan Yu. He three-bet to 125,000 preflop and then called all-in against a shove.

Chen-An Lin: Q♣Q♥ All in
Chuan Yu: A♦A♥

Lin already jokingly said his gee gee, and found no help on the K♥10♦4♦6♠J♠ board.
