Wong tapped the table again on the 3♥ turn, where Taylor bet once more. The call was made, and the dealer flipped over the 9♠ river.

Another check-call from Wong saw Taylor turn over J♦10♥. Wong frustratingly tabled A♣J♠, seeing a bit pot head to Taylor.

Anthony Ribeiro: 7♦7♣ All in
Fu Wong: A♦5♥

Ribeiro was primed for the double but had to fade an ace which he could not do on the A♥10♦9♥ flop. His boisterous railed chanted for a set but he could not find any help on the 9♦5♦ runout as he had to settle for fourth after an impressive run.

Action folded to Thomas Taylor in the small blind, who put in the raise forcing Anthony Ribeiro all in. Ribeiro quickly called in the big blind, and the hands were turned up.

Anthony Ribeiro: J♦8♥4♣2♣ All in
Thomas Taylor: 10♠9♣6♣2♠

The K♥Q♠3♥ flop and Q♥ turn missed both players, while Ribeiro found the only pair on the 8♣ river to earn the double-up.

Thomas Taylor: Q♦8♥8♣ / 6♥4♦Q♥3♠

Taylor completed and Wells defended his bring-in. Fourth street checked through.

Wells led on fifth and sixth as Taylor stuck around. Wells opted to check on seventh before Taylor bet, sending Wells into the tank. After over a minute he tossed in the call and got the bad news as Taylor showed his two pair, queens and eights, which were good to drag another pot.

Robert Wells opened the cutoff to 160,000 before Nicolas Barthe jammed for 200,000 from the big blind and Wells announced call.

Nicolas Barthe: A♦3♦ All in
Robert Wells: A♥7♣

Wells was ahead with the better ace with a chop very possible. However, Barthe found many outs on the 8♦6♦4♣ flop. No waiting was required on the Q♦ turn to the irrelevant 4♥ on the river as Barthe found some life.
