Yilong Wang raised to 1,200,000 on the button and Seunghyun Nam defended in the big blind.
The flop came 5♦9♥4♥ and Nam moved all in for 2,900,000 to put himself at risk.
Wang thought for a brief moment before surrendering his hand.
Ren Lin began the actions with a raise in early position. Seunghyun Nam glanced at the 1,200,000 chips to his right and slowly slid three 20-chip stacks of blues with two pinks on top for a raise to 7,000,000.
When it came time for Ran Ilani to act from the big blind, he shoved all of his 6,300,000 chips into the pot. Lin folded.
Ran Ilani: A♥A♠
Seunghyun Nam: A♣K♠
Ilani held his preflop advantage though a runout of 10♠3♣4♣3♠7♣ to earn a key double up and severely hurt Nam, who had been the chip earlier in the day.
Seunghyun Nam raised to 1,200,000 in early position and Fabrizio Gonzalez raised to 2,600,000. Yuliyan Kolev responded with an all in of 7,800,000 and Nam folded.
Gonzalez looked over at his opponent who was on his feet and dancing. "Shakira time! Lady Gaga, I'm Shakira!". Gonzalez pushed his hand in the muck and Kolev chipped up after his shimmy.
Yilong Wang raised to 1,200,000 in middle position and Paawan Bansal three-bet to about 2,500,000, leaving himself with just 600,000 behind. Action folded back around to Wang who four-bet all in and Bansal called off his remaining stack to put himself at risk.
Paawan Bansal: K♦Q♦
Yilong Wang: A♥J♥
It was a fair fight, but Wang pulled ahead further on the 10♦A♣10♠ flop, improving to two pair, aces and tens.
Bansal still had outs with running diamonds or a jack but was unable to get there when the board ran out 6♥, 2♥.
Level: 34
Blinds: 300,000/600,000
Ante: 600,000
The remaining 9 players have been sent on another 15-minute break and will return to blinds at 300,000/600,000 with a 600,000 big blind ante.
Fabrizio Gonzalez raised to 800,000 in late position and Steven Jones three-bet shoved in the cutoff for 6,375,000. Yilong Wang reshoved in the small blind for 13,500,000 to isolate and Gonzalez got out of the way.
Steven Jones: A♥Q♠
Yilong Wang: A♠K♦
The flop came 6♠6♣K♥, with Wang pulling further into the lead with two pair, kings and sixes.
Jones needed some help but couldn't find any as the board ran out 7♠, 2♣ to end his tournament run.
Seunghyun Nam made raises that ran off opponents in back-to-back hands to gain a nice amount of chips.
In the first hand, Nam raised from middle position to 800,000, only to have Kunal Patni, seated to his immediate left, three-bet to 1,900,000 chips.
After play folded around to Nam, he wasted little time in shoving all-in. Patni folded in even less time.
The very next hand, Ren Lin raised the preflop bet to 1,300,000. Nam dropped a raise of 2,325,000 on top. No one wanted in prt of that action, including Lin, who folded as soon as the dealer looked in his direction.
With every elimination representing a massive pay jump, play has slowed as major confrontations seem to be avoided.
Paawant Bansal is the current shortest stack at the table (4,200,000) with just over ten big blinds and the chip leading, Ren Lin (20,575,000) has over 50 big blinds. All players are still well in contention all things considered.
