Alnoor Pujani opened to 85,000 in the cutoff, which saw Robert Mizrachi respond with a three-bet to 250,000 in the small blind. Biao Ding then put in a four-bet to 835,000 from the big blind, which quickly removed Pujani from the equation. Mizrachi also promptly folded, flipping his A♠K♦K♣ as he did.

Yuhong Liu raised to 85,000 under the gun, which Mason Vieth and Alnoor Pujani called in the small and big blinds.
The action checked through on a 8♣10♣8♥ flop, but after Vieth checked for a second time on the J♣ turn, Pujani was tempted into a 75,000 bet. Liu called, but Vieth folded.
The 4♣ completed the board, and Pujani fired another 180,000. Liu wasted little time calling.
Pujani flipped over the 8♦, reluctant to show the rest of his cards. Liu didn't want to show until Pujani did, so Pujani revealed his full hand of K♣Q♠8♦7♠. Liu then flipped over the winner with his K♠Q♣J♥5♣.
Action was picked up with cards on their backs with WSOP bracelet winner Martin Kozlov all in for his last 210,000 against Qingyu Lu.
Martin Kozlov: A♠J♠J♣3♦ 
Qingyu Lu: K♥Q♦J♥9♣
Thee board ran out 9♠8♦4♠8♥10♦ and the queen-high straight was good for the pot to eliminate Kozlov from the tournament.
At another table, Daniel Swartz was eliminated.
Joshua Wang limped in from the small blind and called when Robert Cowen raised to 75,000 in the big blind.
The action checked down on a Q♠7♦6♠4♦7♣ board, and Wang led out for 90,000 on the river. Cowen spent several minutes in the tank before letting go of his hand.
Robert Cowen raised to 60,000 from the hijack and Qingyu Lu raised to 200,000 in the cutoff to see only Erik Seidel on the button continue.
The flop rolled out K♥8♦2♠ and Lu continued for 115,000 to see Seidel call.
On the 2♦ turn, Lu checked over to Seidel and folded after Seidel bet 265,000, showing Seidel a K♦ as he folded.
With a full board dealt to the 5♣2♦8♥7♠Q♠ river and 135,000 in the pot, Sam Soverel checked in the big blind over to Peter Cross on the button, who bet 65,000. Soverel responded with a check-raise to 330,000, and Cross didn't take much time to call.
Soverel tabled A♥10♥6♠4♥, which was good for a turned straight, and Cross tossed his cards towards the muck.
At another table, Dante Cianfarra was eliminated.
Yuhong Liu raised to 70,000 from the hijack and Yu Liu defended in the big blind.
The flop rolled out J♣6♥2♣ and after Liu checked over to Liu, both players got their chips in, with Liu at risk for his last 520,000.
Yu Liu: K♠7♣6♠6♦
Yuhong Liu: A♥K♥J♥7♦
Liu had flopped a set and was in good shape to double at the expense of Liu, but the Q♥ turn opened up a myriad of outs for Liu to eliminate him.
A 10♦ peeled off on the river to give Liu broadway and best Liu's set of sixes. Liu neared the two million mark, while Liu took his leave from the tournament.
Level: 21
Blinds: 10,000/25,000
