Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
The seven finalists are on a 15-minute break.
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Ryuta Nakai in early position jammed for 3,350,000. The current chip leader Xiaoyao Ma three-bet all-in from the hijack, and Martin Kabrhel in the small blind went into the tank.
He stood up to have a better look at the payouts, asked questions to the floorman in charge of the final table and ultimately folded.
Ryuta Nakai: 7♠7♥ 
Xiaoyao Ma: A♦K♠
Nakai's sevens held on 6♥8♠10♥4♠8♥ and he doubled up. Yuya Arito clapped for his friend and seemed more happy about this double up than Nakai himself.
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Xiaoyao Ma opened to 1,100,000 from the cutoff before Yuya Arito moved all in for 6,710,000 on the button. Chad Thyzel called for his last 480,000 in the big blind, with Ma getting out of the way.
Chad Thyzel: A♦Q♥
Yuya Arito: A♣K♥
Arito's advantage grew on the 8♥K♠5♦ flop, connecting for top pair. The 7♦ turn and A♠ river completed the board, sending Thyzel out in eighth place.

Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Jeffrey Hong made it 5,000,000 from the cutoff with just 100,000 behind. Robert Cowen called for his last 2,575,000 from the small blind before Xiaoyao Ma shoved from the big blind with the covering stack. Hong called and the cards were flipped over.
Robert Cowen: 9♠9♣
Jeffrey Hong: A♣K♣
Xiaoyao Ma: J♦J♣
Ma had the chance to send the tournament down to eight players if his pocket jacks could hold up.
The flop came 6♥6♣6♠ to give Hong an extra out, but Ma was still ahead with a boat. The rest of the board came 7♠5♠ and Cowen and Hong were out, while Ma moved into the final table with an overwhelming chip lead.

Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Robert Cowen shoved for 480,000 from the cutoff and was called by David Shaw in the big blind.
Robert Cowen: A♦7♣
David Shaw: A♥10♦
Cowen was on the edge of elimination on 6♣8♦3♠Q♥, but the 7♠ river saved him and he doubled up.
On the next hand, Cowen jammed again from the hijack. David Shaw in the small blind moved all-in for 365,000 and the big blind folded.
David Shaw: Q♦4♦
Robert Cowen: A♣3♣
Cowen flopped two pair on 3♥A♥10♦4♥8♣, leaving no chance for Shaw who was eliminated in 11th place.
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Jeffrey Hong made it 600,000 from the hijack and Rehman Kassam jammed for 1,135,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Hong, he called.
Rehman Kassam: 6♣6♥
Jeffrey Hong: A♦4♦
Kassam was ahead with pocket sixes and stayed ahead on the 7♥4♣K♥ flop. However, the A♣ on turn put Hong in the lead with two pair. The J♠ appeared on the river and Kassam was out in 12th.
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Jeffrey Hong opened from the cutoff to 600,000. His only customer was big blind Xiaoyao Ma. The two went off to a flop of 4♣A♣6♦ which checked through. Ma checked again on the 8♣ turn, and Hong bet out for 580,000. Ma made the call.
The exact same action repeated on the J♠ river, and Ma's A♠9♣ was good against Hong's Q♦10♥
