Level 23 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Ka Kwan Lau limped in on the button. Manuel Stojanovic completed his small blind, and Dylan Linde checked his option in the big blind. Stojanovic led out for 260,000 on the 7♣9♥A♠ flop, seeing Linde fold and Lau call.

Stojanovic sized up to 650,000 on the 3♦ turn, which Lau also called. The K♥ river was then checked to showdown.

Stojanovic sheepishly tabled Q♣9♣8♠5♥ for a single pair of eights, but it won him the pot as frustratedly Lau slammed his hand into the muck.

Level 23 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Quan Zhou raised to 320,000 on the button and Gergo Nagy three-bet to 1,025,000 in the small blind. Zhou then moved all in and Nagy called for 2,800,000.

Gergo Nagy: K♦K♥8♠3♥ All in
Quan Zhou: A♦A♥K♣Q♠

Zhou had Nagy dominated with his aces as the flop came 8♣2♦7♦. The A♠ turn improved Zhou to top set and Nagy was already drawing dead by the 8♥ river as Zhou ended up with a full house. Nagy was sent to the rail in 10th place as the remaining nine players drew for seats at the final table.
