Lei Yu had quite the rollercoaster of a stack going back and forth from doubling up and doubling other short stacks. He got his stack back well over 4,000,000 when the following hand came up:
Matthew Hendler raised in late position and was soon met by an all in from Lei Yu. Hendler quickly made the call.
Lei Yu: K♦J♦
Matthew Hendler: A♦K♥
Yu had a moment of hope when a jack rolled off on the flop but was left with only felt when an ace peeled on the river.

Mengqi Chen and Leo Sigurdsson got it all-in preflop, with Chen being at risk.
Mengqi Chen: A♥4♦
Leo Sigurdsson: A♣10♥
The flop 10♦3♥7♠, putting Sigurdsson way ahead in the hand. Chen would need runner-runner for trips or a straight to stay alive in the tournament.
The turn landed the 9♣, locking up the win for Leo Sigurdsson, and the meaningless 6♠ fell on the river.
