Responding to a raise of 250,000 from the cutoff player, Ian Simpson moved all in from the small blind. Haixia Zhang called from the big blind for less, and the original raiser folded.
Haixia Zhang: Q♦Q♣
Ian Simpson: A♥Q♥
Simpson found no help on the 2♦7♥8♣ flop, and although the turn 2♥ gave him a flush draw, the river was unforthcoming as the dealer flipped over the 4♦.
Zhang's stack was calculated to be 1,390,000, and Simpson duly paid her his dues.

Sean Banionis moved all in from middle position for 1,250,000, and only Yonatan Basin called from the small blind.
Sean Banionis: Q♠Q♦
Yonatan Basin: A♣Q♥
There were some nerves shown from Banionis as the J♣10♣3♥ flop gave Basin a straight draw, and the 4♣ turn improved him to a flush draw too.
The river 2♥ was a brick, though, and Banionis held on to double.

Action was picked up as Guoliang Wei was all in against Andrew Wilmot.
Guoliang Wei: A♣10♣
Andrew Wilmot: A♥Q♥
Terrible start for Wilmot as the flop came 2♣10♠9♦, the 5♥ was no help and the 4♦ on the river kept Wei in the tournament.

Andrew Ahn raised from the hijack to 250,000, and Joseph Derosa three-bet all in for 1,230,000 from the big blind. Ahn called.
Joseph Derosa: A♥4♠
Andrew Ahn: K♣J♣
The board came out with a little bit of overkill with 8♠5♦J♠J♥6♦ and trips for Ahn worked for the knockout.

Peter Placey raised to 250,000 from early position, only for Wesley Fei to three-bet to 650,000. Placey called, and the players both checked the J♠K♥6♣ flop to see the 2♠ drop on the turn.
Placey checked to Fei, who bet out for 700,000. Placey went into the tank for a while and announced that he was all-in. Fei snap-called.
Peter Placey: K♣Q♦
Wesley Fei: A♣A♦
"Yes, come on! Hold!" exclaimed Fei when the cards were turned.
The river bricked out with the 4♥, and Placey was sent packing while Fei pulled in another monster pot and has cracked the 10,000,000 chip mark.

Nan Chen, who actually bagged the biggest stack at the end of the night last night, is now back in the chip leader position.
Action was picked up on the river with a board of 5♣J♠K♣9♦J♥, and the pot was about 840,000. Chen was in the big blind and bet out 550,000, and Antonio Bucarizza was under the gun and made the call.
Chen flipped over Q♣10♠ for the straight, and Bucarizza stated, "Oh wow," and mucked.

Carlos Caldas opened under the gun to 200,000, and only Oren Rosen called, defending his big blind.
Both players checked on the 5♦2♠4♥, and the dealer revealed the Q♥ turn.
Rosen opted to lead out for 185,000, which Caldas called.
The river 5♠ saw both players check. Rosen flipped overKx6x, which was no good versus the A♦4♦ of Caldas.
As Caldas was stacking his chips, he was handed a chip rack and asked to move to another table to balance the field.

Wesley Fei raised from the cutoff to 200,000, and Hanseok Ko moved all-in from the big blind for 2,100,000, and Fei snap-called.
Hanseok Ko: A♥5♠
Wesley Fei: A♠K♠
No help for Ko on the J♠10♦6♠ flop nor the 2♦ turn, and when the river bricked out with the 7♦ he was sent to the rail and Fei raked in the healthy pot to keep building his stack.
