Chad Li

Ohad Enzel open-shoved all in for 49,000,000 in early position and Chao Li in the big blind called, taking them to showdown.

Ohad Enzel: K♣K♦All in
Chao Li : K♠Q♥

Enzel was looking satisfied knowing he was ahead on the 5♦J♠7♦ flop. Li caught a pair on the Q♦ turn but couldn't beat Enzel's kings. Enzel's double up was secured when the 8♦ river was dealt. Enzel scooped the pot, while Li was left with crumbs.

The following hand, Akira Ide, to Li's right, opened for 12,000,000 and, with his remaining 3,500,000, Li called.

Chao Li: A♠8♦ All in
Akira Ide: A♦J♠

It was looking grim for Li when the flop dropped 3♦J♦8♥, giving Ide top pair. The 6♥ turn was peeled with no consequence.

Li's fate was sealed when the A♣ fell on the river, giving Ide a two-pair. Li left the table as Ide scooped the pot.

Yuri Murakami
Yuri Murakami

Yuri Murakami tripled up since her last debacle with Akira Ide, having built her stack to around 6,000,000 with pocket queens.

Two hands after, she open-shoved all-in. Jeffrey Evans, to her left, raised to 27,000,000, pushing everyone out of the way.

Yuri Murakami: 7♦6♦ All in
Jeffrey Evans: A♦Q♥

Evans was ahead with ace-queen when the flop fell K♥10♠8♠, giving Murakami some hope of improving with a straight draw.

Unfortunately, the dealer peeled a 5♦ turn and a 3♠ river, ending her run and eliminating the last woman standing.

Just before the break, James Rann raised to 24,000,000 from the hijack. Richard Harris moved all in from the big blind.

Rann made the called with less.

James Rann: K♠10♠All in
Richard Harris: A♥J♦

Both players made a pair on the flop, but Harris' was better, and the full runout of 2♠J♠10♥Q♣Q♦ sent Rann home.

Akira Ide open-shoved for 34,000,000 and Yuri Murakami on the button called, taking them to showdown.

Akira Ide: 10♦9♦ All in
Yuri Murakami: J♠J♣

Murakami had a chance to eliminate Ide on the 5♣4♠6♠ flop. Ide hit a pair on the 9♥ turn, but still couldn't beat Murakami's pockets.

Ide exploded in a cheer of joy when the 10♥ river fell, giving him a new breath to continue his tournament run.

Laura Fryer
Laura Fryer
Level 42 : Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante

Taylor Maas was in the cutoff and moved all in for their remaining 4,500,000, and Chao Li called from the big blind.

Taylor Maas: 5♦5♥All in
Chao Li: 4♠3♥

The 8♦A♠A♦ flop didn't change the standings, and neither did the 10♦ turn.

A 2♥ turn was good for Maas as his fives played, and he locked up a double.

Jason James was down to just 2,500,000 and was all in from under the gun, Chao Li was sitting to his direct left and called. Jonathan Wolter, who was next to act, shoved for his 21,500,000. Li called and the players went there-ways to showdown, with two at risk of elimination.

Mantas Bagocius: K♦8♦All in
