The last seven hands were announced to every table.

Ferdinand Carabuena Lu raised to 3,700 from the small blind and Xin Ann Lim called from the big blind.

Lu continuation bet to 4,000 on the 9♥ 7♣ Q♠ flop, forcing Lim to quickly fold.

With a flop of A♣ 9♠ 5♦ spreading and around 28,000 chips in the middle, Kyosuke Nagami bet 10,100 from and Jue Cheng Ming called

A 6♦ slid on the turn, Nagami fired another barrel of 18,000 which Ming this time shoved all in. Ming tabled A♠ K♠ for top pair to the pot and Nagami mucked his hand.

Heng Zhang raised 3,000 from the small blind, and Naoto Takeya made the call from the big blind.

Zhang bet 2,000 on the 3♣ 9♣ 6♦ flop, which Takeya called.

An 8♠ fell on the turn, and both players checked through to see the 6♣ river which Zhang check-folded after Takeya fired a bet of 6,000.

Both players involved in this hand experienced all possible emotions when being all in preflop. In the last level of the day the Korean Jinho Hong jammed all in from middle-position for around ten big-blinds. Bang Huang called on the button and both players opened their cards. Hong showed A♥ 4♣ and was up against Huang's A♦ A♠. At this moment Hong prepared himself to stand up and try again the next flight.

However, the flop gave Hong a glimmer of hope. On 6♠ 5♠ 3♥ he flopped an up-and-down straight draw. Indeed the 2♦ gave him a straight, but the 4♥ river did the same for Huang and somehow both players walked away disappointed.

Yi Ping Feng opened to 3,500 from the cutoff and was called by Tran Thi Xuan Ha from the small blind.

Feng bet 3,000 on the J♥ 6♠ 4♣ flop before Ha stuck around to see the 7♥ turn and the 4♠ which both players checked through.

After Ha tabled her A♠ K♣ for ace-high, Feng mucked her hand and forfeit the pot.

Phan Vo Nhut raised to 2,500 from middle position, and Kei Wing Ng called on the button, which Yusuke Arai shoved all in for around 26,500 from the small blind. This was followed by snap-folds from Nhut and Ng.

Wei Jen Wang raised from the button to 3,600, and Chang Fu Hung called from the big blind.

Two players saw the 9♠ 3♥ T♣ flop spread and checked through to see the turn.

A 5♦ fell on the turn which Hung bet 2,200 before Wang raised to 2,500. After tanking a long time, Hung decided to shove all in for 25,000.

Wei Jen Wang A♦ K♠

Chang Fu Hung 8♦ 9♦

A bricky 7♥ landed on the rive to complete the board. Hung beat the big slick from Wang for a pair of nines and received a much-needed double-up.

Kyoungseok Chai

Hessaum Sadri raised to 2,100 on the button and was called by Kyoungseok Chai from the big blind, who quickly announced his next action “check” before the flop was spread by the dealer.

Chai checked on 5♥ 9♦ 7♥ flop over to Sadri who also quickly checked.

The 4♠ hit on the turn which Chai bet 2,700 before Sadri made the call to see an A♣ river. Chai then fired another barrel of 5,500, making Sadri muck his cards.
