Lucas Blanco raised from the cutoff to 12,000 and Lester Edoc called from the big blind.

When the 6♦ completed the board, Edoc checked, and Blanco checked back.

Edoc tabled Q♦J♣ for queen-high, but Blanco had the winner with Q♠Q♣.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a board of 9♦Q♥8♦6♣3♥ and with roughly 100,000 in the pot, Jake Schwartz bet enough to put James Chen all-in. Chen thought for quite some time before making the call for his remaining 106,000. Schwartz turned over 10♣7♦ for the straight, which was enough to eliminate Chen, who had Q♦J♦

Chen Puts a Beat on Parys

Kai Cocklin

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a flop of 8♥2♦J♣ with around 150,000 chips in the pot, Maxime Parys bet 37,000, and Dong Chen called.

A 4♣ landed on the turn and after some time, Parys shoved all in for 101,000. Chen didn't need to think for too long before he made the call.

Maxine Parys: A♣K♣ All in
Dong Chen: 9♣7♣

Parys was in a great spot to double up and just needed to fade a ten, nine or seven on the river that wasn't a club. However, it wasn't the Frenchman's day as the 7♥ river paired up Chen, which meant Parys was eliminated just short of the money.

Dong Chen	880,000 821,500	821,500

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ilia Drobin bet 11,000 on the flop of 2♥2♣4♥ and David McGowan called from the big blind.

McGowan checked the 6♣ turn and faced a bet of 30,000 by Drobin. McGowan check-raised to 80,000 and Drobin immediately moved all in for around 160,000 total. McGowan snap-called.

Ilia Drobin: A♦5♦ All in
David McGowan: Q♠5♥

The meaningless 4♦ came on the river, and both players chopped the pot with a straight.

Ihar Soika opened the action with a raise to 12,000 from the button. Matthew Hunt defended his big blind.

Soika continued for 12,000 on a rainbow 4♥3♣K♠ flop and Hunt made the call.

Action went check-check on the 6♣ turn before Soika fired 55,000 on the 5♠ river. Hunt called and was shown the bad news. Soika tabled 2♣2♥ for a rivered straight and dragged the pot in.

Player	Chips	Progress

Action was caught after the turn of 8♣4♣J♠J♣ and Kenny Hallaert checked from the big blind.

Nenad Dukic also checked from under the gun.

Mark Ioli fired for 24,000 and both the other players were quick to fold.

Hallaert said that he "didn't have a Jack" otherwise he would have called to the river.

Weng Turns the Nuts to Eliminate Qu in Huge Pot on the Bubble

Kai Cocklin

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Bin Weng opened the button to 13,000 and Feng Qu three-bet to 34,000 from the small blind. When the action got back to Weng, he shoved all in. Qu was covered with almost 400,000 chips in his stack, and snap-called the shove which left him at risk.

Feng Qu: A♦K♦ All in
Bin Weng: J♦9♣

A huge call from Qu on the bubble and he didn't even give it a second thought which created a monster pot between the two.

The dealer put out a flop of 5♣7♣8♠ which added a double gutshot straight draw for Weng, which he would complete on the 10♥ turn. Qu was drawing dead and started to grab his belongings when he saw the A♠ land on the river, which surely rubbed some salt in the wound.

As Qu was leaving, he said some words in Chinese aimed at Weng that didn't sound too friendly.

"He said 'great play'," remarked Weng.
