Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 15,000 ante

Adam Owen in the big blind and J Austin Hijar in middle position had gathered a sizable pot of 240,000 when they arrived post-draw. Owen then put Hijar all-in for 364,000, sending Hijar into the tank.

After a few minutes, Hijar committed the call for his tournament life. Owen flashed 10x10x before Hijar tabled 9x8x5x4x2x for a nine-low, catching a huge double-up.

Owen was left with just under nine big blinds, which he lost not much later to be eliminated from the tournament.

Meanwhile, start-of-day chipleader Han Liu, also seated at this table, had reached a seven-figure stack
