The WSOP has moved the final three tables to the streamed feature tables area, which means our live reporting will have to be delayed around 2.5 hours to match the stream, per the WSOP media guidelines. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Min Ji went all-in for 625,000 from under the gun. Yuxi Huang called from the next seat over, and Dan Hummer came along with a call out of the big blind.
The 7♦5♣2♦ flop led to a bet of 825,000 from Huang. Hummer got out of the way with a fold as Huang and Ji went to a showdown with Ji at risk.
Min Ji: J♥8♥
Yuxi Huang: Q♠Q♦
Huang had the lead with her pocket queens, as Ji was stuck hoping for runner-runner.
The 3♠ turn sealed the deal in favor of Huang as the meaningless 9♦ hit the river to eliminate Ji from contention.
Antony Rubin opened to 650,000 from the hijack and met resistance when Francisco Trujillo called out of the small blind, and Jacob Gagnon joined from the big blind.
The 10♥7♠Q♠ flop led to a pair of checks before Rubin continued for 700,000. Trujillo called, while Gagnon bowed out with a fold.
It checked around on the 5♥ turn to bring the 2♣ river. Trujillo bet 1,200,000 and was called by Rubin.
Trujillo showed K♠Q♣ for a pair of queens, which was good as Rubin mucked his hand in response.
Meng Dian Peng limped in from the small blind; Benoit Fiasson raised to 925,00 in the big blind, and Peng called. On the J♥4♣3♦ flop, Fiasson checked, Peng bet 500,000, and Fiasson called. Both players checked the 2♣ on the turn.
Peng bet a swift 1,600,000 on the K♦ river, and Fiasson called it off after some thought. Peng proudly showed K♠10♣ and grabbed his phone to take a picture of the situation, prompting laughter from the table.
Erik Rozhynskyi shipped it from the small blind for 2,800,000 and was called by Seiji Sasaki in the big blind to be at risk.
Erik Rozhynskyi: 6♦5♦
Seiji Sasaki: A♠8♦
The flop did not help Rozhynskyi as it came J♦9♣Q♣ to keep Sasaki in the lead.
The 2♠ turn was a blank, and the Q♦ river was the final card Rozhynskyi would see in the tournament as he exited the area.
Scott Stewart raised to 1,500,000 from middle position, leaving only 550,000 behind. Joshua Steinberg called, but after the rest of the table folded, he accidentally turned over his cards, showing the A♦10♦, thinking Stewart was all-in. This created an interesting dynamic as they took a flop.
The K♠10♥Q♥ came down on the flop, and Stewart jammed for his final 550,000. Steinberg called to put Stewart at risk.
Scott Stewart: K♥6♥
Joshua Steinberg: A♦10♦
Stewart had outflopped Steinberg, but still needed to fade two cards to double up.
The 3♥ shut the door on the hand as Stewart upgraded to a flush. It was good for his sake that he did, as the A♠ peeled on the river to give Steinberg two pair.
Steven Hinkle raised to 600,000 from under the gun, and Yifu He called out of the big blind.
The flop came 10♦4♣A♣ before He checked. Hinkle bet 450,000 and was called by He.
He checked again on the 3♠ turn. Hinkle kept betting, this time to the tune of 800,000. He gave it brief consideration before he folded to award the pot to Hinkle.
Bo Chen's terrible day has come to an end, finishing 39th after just getting eliminated. Harrison Gimbel also hit the rail, with both players receiving $40,200 for their efforts.
Alen Fillipi raised to 600,000 from early position, Scott Stewart three-bet shoved on the button for around 5,200,000, Dean Cimera called all in for 3,250,000 from the big blind, and Fillipi folded.
Dean Cimera: K♥K♠
Scott Stewart: A♥Q♣
The board ran out K♦9♦3♣10♦5♠ for Cimera to double up.
Shmuel Hadad open-shoved shoved around 2,500,000 from under the gun and Bo Chen reshoved one seat over.
Shmuel Hadad: 5♣5♦
Bo Chen: A♠K♣
The dealer fanned out 10♠6♠4♦Q♦2♣ for Hadad's fives to hold. Chen, the start-of-the-day chipleader, continued his descent and tumbled to 3.8 million.
Akihiro Konishi was forced all-in from the big blind with just 250,000 remaining in his stack. Dan Hummer limped on the button before Min Ji did the same from the small blind.
Both remaining players checked the K♥3♦10♠ flop to bring the 8♣ turn. Ji got busy and bet 400,000. Hummer called.
The 4♥ river led to another bet of 400,000 from Ji. Hummer folded as Ji and Konishi went to a showdown.
Konishi managed to hit a pair with 10♥6♣, but it was no good as Ji showed J♥10♦ for a pair of tens with a better kicker to eliminate Konishi.
At another table, Michael Comisso also met his end to be eliminated from contention.
