Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
On a flop of 9♥7♦A♦, there were around 15,000 chips in the pot when Yang Wang checked from middle position and Andrew Kim fired 6,000 from the cutoff. Wang called.
A 10♥ on the turn went check-check and Wang bet 15,500 on the 5♠ river, leaving himself around 12,000 behind. Kim mulled it over for around 20 seconds before he elected to call.
Wang then showed Q♦10♦ for a pair of tens, but Kim held A♣6♣ for a pair of aces to scoop the pot.
On another table, Victoria Livschitz is flying with around 400,000!

There were roughly 28,000 chips in the middle on a board of 8♦7♠7♥9♣, Yaji Ren checked from the cutoff to Joao Vieira on the button who put Ren all in for his tournament life when the Q♠ hit the river.
Ren went deep in to the tank before he eventually called. Vieira tabled K♦10♥ for a stone bluff and Ren tabled Q♦10♦ to scoop this pot whilst leaving Vieira in the danger zone.

: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Hieu Ngo three-bet shoved around ten big blinds after Samuel Laskowitz opened, and was quickly put at risk.
Hieu Ngo: K♦J♠
Samuel Laskowitz: Q♣Q♦
Ngo was staring elimination in the face and didn't find much to work with on the 5♣5♥10♦ flop. An A♣ on the turn gave him a useless gutshot to Broadway, and the 4♣ river meant he was eliminated.

With 13,000 in the pot on a 6♥3♠5♦ flop, Christopher Ewing checked from the small blind and Adam Friedman also tapped the table from the hijack. Yuliyan Kolev was on the button and bet 3,500, then Ewing check-raised to 11,000. Friedman quickly folded, but Kolev called.
A J♠ on the turn saw Ewing slow down with a check, then Kolev bet 27,500. Ewing instantly gave it up, and Kolev's stack joined the double-century club.

Joining the action on the 3♣4♣A♣ flop, Ivan Ruben was all in and at risk from the small blind versus Ran Koller in the cutoff.
Ran Koller: Q♣10♣
Ivan Ruben: A♥K♦
Koller had flopped the flush and was a long way ahead.
The K♥ turn did provide a little hope for Ruben but the 2♠ sealed his fate.

Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Marko Grujic once had a very healthy stack in the tournament but just saw his chip balance tumble some more after a hand with Shiva Dudani.
The action was picked up on a flop of 3♥6♠Q♣ with around 35,000 in the middle and Dudani fired out 11,000 from the big blind. Grujic called from the hijack to see the 6♦ turn, where both checked.
A K♥ on the river saw Dudani count out a bet of 45,000 and slide it into the pot, which drew a snap-fold out of Grujic.

An early position raise to 3,500 was met with a shove from Toby Lewis in the cutoff for 23,000. Xiaohu Liu took a little time to think in the small blind before calling the all in. The initial raiser then folded.
Toby Lewis: A♠K♦
Xiaohu Liu: A♣Q♠
The board ran out: 9♥6♠2♥4♠8♦ to give Lewis slightly more than a double up.
