Yohwan Lim open-shoved preflop from the cutoff with 158,000. In the big blind, Andreas Kniep went into the tank, just three places away from the money. He had only 52,000 chips left.
He decided to fold and showed his AxKx. The rest of the table asked Lim to show his cards, but he declined this request and laughed while taking his chips from the middle.

Hand-for-hand action was picked up with Yuzhu Wang all in and at risk from early position for 334,000 against Jesse Lonis in the big blind.
Yuzhu Wang: A♦A♥
Jesse Lonis: 6♦5♦
As the players waited for the hand to play out, Lonis told Wang, "You have my flush covered. I'm basically dead." The reverse jinx worked as the dealer spread an ice-cold flop of J♣6♠5♥. Wang remained in good spirits despite his tournament life hanging in the balance. Unfortunately for him, the dealer provided no assistance on the K♠ turn or Q♥ river, eliminating Wang on the soft bubble.

Daniel Lefebvre had been folding very patiently with a very short stack and moved all in prior to the bubble bursting with only 3,000 chips from early position. Michael Rossitto was in middle position and made it 15,00,0, and Xiaohu Liu called from the big blind.
The flop came out with 5♣K♦Q♠, and Liu checked into Rossitto, who put out a bet of 10,000. Liu three-bet to 25,000 and Rossitto folded, and Liu won a. 42,000 side pot.
Daniel Lefebvre: K♦K♣
Xiaohu Liu: J♥8♥
The turn 7♥ and the river 8♠ were of no consequence, and Lefebvre's patience paid off with a win.

Chun Kit Kwan had been folding diligently before the bubble burst and moved all in from the button after a raise of 13,000 was made by Charles Ansanelli in early position. Ansanelli took some time to decide and eventually decided that the bet amount of 49,000 was worth the risk and called.
Chun Kit Kwan: A♦A♠
Charles Ansanelli: 5♠5♣
The board went well to the relief of Kwan with 6♦10♥9♣2♣6♣, and two pair for Kwan would save his tournament life.

Norayr Menedyan raised and made the call when Song Wang moved all in from the hijack.
Song Wang: A♥A♦
Norayr Menedyan: A♠Q♠
Menedyan only found a single spade on the 5♠5♦2♥8♥K♥ runout, never challenging Wang's pocket aces on the direct bubble.
