Sumay MishraAfter a heavy preflop betting war, Sumay Mishra found himself all in for 439,000, with Chulwoo Park making the call.
Sumay Mishra: Q♣ Qâ™
Chulwoo Park: A♦ A♥
Park's pocket aces stayed firmly in front on the J♣ 4♠2♣ flop and improved even further when the A♣ landed on the turn, giving him top set and leaving Mishra on the verge of elimination.
However, Mishra still had a live flush draw. The 5♣ on the river completed his flush, earning him a massive double up and leaving Park visibly stunned.
After starting the day as chip leader, Park's stack was suddenly reduced to around 200,000.

Chan check-called Ishihara's 25,000 bet following the 3♣ 5♦ Q♦ flop.
On the K♥ turn, the action quickly checked through, taking them to the K♣ river where Chan checked once more. The Japanese player slid 15,000 into the middle, and Chan quickly paid, only to muck his cards when Ishihara turned over A♥ Q♣.

Czardy RiveraFolded to the cutoff, Dongwook Kim open shoved for his remaining 54,000, looking set to steal the blinds.
After spending some time in the tank, Czardy Rivera found a call from the big blind.
Dongwook Kim: Q♦ J♣
Czardy Rivera: 7♣ 5â™
Kim took control on the J♥ 6♣ 4♣ flop after pairing his jack, but Rivera picked up an open-ended straight draw to go along with his backdoor club draw.
The 3♦ turn completed Rivera's straight, leaving Kim drawing dead before the meaningless river. Rivera collected the pot and sent Kim to the rail.

The dealer fanned the 6♠4♦ 7♥ flop and the action checked to Karimzhanov, who fired 22,000. Gopez then raised it to 80,000, and it folded back to the Kazakh, who eventually put in the call.
The 9♦ hit the turn and Gopez checked once more. Karimzhanov fired an 80,000 bet of his own, prompting a relatively swift fold from Gopez.

Back on Ejem, he made the call to put Inocentes at risk.
Alvir Inocentes: A♦ T♥
Lourd Keven Ejem: A♥ Q♦
Although dominated preflop, Inocentes found a dream flop of A♣ J♦ T♣, making two pair to jump into the lead.
His celebration was short-lived.
The Q♠on the turn completed for Ejem, putting him back in front, while the 6♦ river failed to improve Inocentes.
Ejem reclaimed the lead on the turn, eliminated Inocentes, and added another healthy pot to his growing stack.

Michael Gabby Concepcion: A♦ 6â™
Anacleto Quijano: J♠J♥
Quijano's pocket jacks remained comfortably ahead on the Q♥ 4♦ 2♠flop, leaving Concepcion with just three outs to survive.
One of those outs arrived immediately on the A♠turn, vaulting Concepcion into the lead. The 7♣ river brought no miracle for Quijano, allowing Concepcion to secure a much-needed double up and stay alive in the PokerStars Red Dragon.

John Clyde TanFresh off a table break, Patrick Clarke wasted no time getting involved, opening to 16,000 on his very first hand at the new table. On the button, John Clyde Tan, who began the day second in chips, three-bet to 47,000. Wooseong Lee defended from the big blind, while Clarke stepped aside.
The flop came T♠9♥ 3♠. After Lee checked, Tan continued for 65,000, and Lee made the call.
When the 5â™ hit the turn, Lee suddenly moved all in for 120,000. Tan barely needed any time before making the call.
Wooseong Lee: A♣ Q♥
John Clyde Tan: Qâ™ 9â™
Lee had turned his hand into a bluff, but it was the worst possible timing. Tan had already completed a flush, leaving Lee drawing dead before the meaningless 7â™ completed the board.
Tan collected the pot, eliminated Lee, and continued to build on his already formidable stack.

Jason Ong: Q♠Q♣

Action returned to Park, who showed no hesitation in firing a four-bet to 200,000.

Viacheslav Zotov: A♥ 3♥
Charles Donnadieu: A♦ J♥
Akiba Shuichi: T♠T♦
When the flop came down, Donnadieu celebrated with a loud "Yes!" after seeing the A♣ in the window. His excitement quickly turned into "Noooo!" as the rest of the flop came K♣ T♣, giving Shuichi bottom set while Donnadieu paired his ace.
The 5â™ turn changed nothing, and Donnadieu's straight draw failed to materialize on the 8â™ river.
Shuichi scooped the pot, eliminating both Zotov and Donnadieu in one hand to climb among the tournament chip leaders.

The dealer fanned 6♠6♦ 5♦ and both opted to check, as with the Q♣ turn.
On the Qâ™ river, Lee led for 100,000 into the side pot. Altynikov then moved all in with his covering stack, and Lee called just as quickly, with the pair of them turning over ace-queen for a rivered boat.
Soni was already out of his seat by the time the river had been dealt, as he turned over A♥ 9♠and left the table.

John Clyde TanJohn Tan started the day as second in chips but clearly has his sights set on the top spot. He's chipped up by around 150,000 in the opening stages of the day.
Manuel Geronimo opened with a 10,000 raise from under the gun before folding to Tan's 28,000 three-bet.
The next hand saw cutoff Tan raise to 12,000 and Edwards Lawford defend his big blind. Lawford check-folded on the 6♦ 3♦ 9♣ flop when Tan fired 9,000.
Hijack Feras Elnatsha then open-jammed for 63,000 and collected the blinds.
Tan then raised to 10,000 once more, this time from the hijack, and big blind Kohei Takami made the call.
Takami check-called Tan's 10,000 continuation-bet on the 3♣ A♦ 5♥ flop. The action repeated on the 2♣ turn, this time for 25,000.
The A♠completed the board and Takami led for 80,000. The Japanese player had barely put the chips into the middle before Tan made the call, flicking over A♣ 4♣ for a turned straight, to the shock of the table. Takami showed K♦ J♥.
