The flop came T♠ 8♥ 4♥ and Xie led with another 9,000 bet. Christodoulou called once again.

On the turn J♥, Xie checked and Christodoulou took the lead with a 6,500 bet. Xie called to see the last street.

With another check, Christodoulou picked up a tower of blue chips worth 95,000 and jammed it in the middle of the table, effectively putting Xie all-in if he called. Xie stared at the imposing wall of chips in front of Christodoulou, clutching his cards and weighing his decision with just 60,000 left.

He burned a time bank, taking his time on the final level of the day. Unwilling to end his deep run, Xie mucked his cards and watched Christodoulou stack more chips to his stack.

The floor have now paused the clock for the day and announced that five more hands will be dealt.

All remaining players will then bag up their chips and progress top Day Two on October 1.

Stay tuned for a recap of the day and final chip counts.

With the pot at over 10,000 and the flop already fanned out Q♥ K♥ T♠ Tom Verbruggen bet out 6,000 and Afu Wang on the button made the call.

The turn brought the 2♣ and Verbruggen ramped it up and fired his second bullet of 16,500. Wang again flat-called.

The dealer peeled off the 6♠ as the river, Verbruggen didn't slow down and barrelled for a third time now for 75,000 effectively putting Wang all in. Wang didn't take long to fold his cards having more than likely missed his flush draw.

Action was picked up with Chunhui Ji, at risk, and Bin He with their hands tabled and their chips in the middle of the felt in an all-in showdown.

Chunhui Ji: A♠ 5♠

Bin He: A♣ T♦

Ji was dominated and He's lead was strengthened on the flop of 2♥ J♥ T♠. He saw some hope when the 4♣ fell on the turn as it gave him more outs for a gutshot straight draw. But the 2♠ dropped on the river ending his tournament run on the last level of the day.

Horace Leung raised from the cut-off to 3,000 and action folded to Kitty Kuo in the small blind who three-bet to 6,500. Leung made the call and the players saw the flop of A♦ T♣ A♥.

Kuo continued for 6,000 and Leung made the call.

The turn brought the 2♦ and now Kuo fired out for 10,500. Leung again made the call. The river brought the 4♠ and now Kuo slowed down and checked it over to Leung who tanked for a while before moving all-in for 19,500 and he had Kuo covered.

Kuo went deep into the tank using her final three time-banks before releasing her hand and the pot was pushed to Leung with no showdown.

Emi Oike opened to 2,500 in early position and got a three-bet from Xing Wang. With action back to her, Oike four-bet shoved all-in for around 33,500. Wang smiled, rubbed her cards on the felt, mulling over what to do. She picked up a tower of chips and jammed it in the middle of the table, taking them to showdown and putting Oike's tournament life at risk.

Emi Oike: Q♦ Q♥

Xing Wang: 9♥ 9♦

The flop came 7♣ A♠ J♣ maintaining Oike's lead.

When the Q♣ fell on the turn to give Oike's trips, Wang's hopes of winning the hand were crushed. The T♦ was a formality.

Oike scooped the pot for a double.

Heads-up, Cheng Huang fired 10,000 into a pot of around 20,000 on a flop of 7♦ 6♦ 8♥. Wan Yu Zhang called to see the next street.

The turn produced 5♣ and Zhang check-raised all-in Huang's bet of 10,000 to 39,000 sending the latter to the tank. He used a time bank with only 34,000 chips behind, unwilling to risk his tournament life so late in the day to make a call. With time running out, he mucked his hand and surrendered to Zhang's aggression.

Erik Rozhynskyi raised from early position to 3,000 only for Yongqi Chen to three-bet to 7,500 from middle position. Action folded back around to Rozhynskyi who made the call.

The flop came 8♥ 9♠ K♥ and Rozhynskyi check-called Chen's 6,500 continuation bet.

The action went check-check on the 3♠ turn and the dealer peeled off the 2♦ as the river card.

Rozhynskyi now led out for a hefty 25,000 which sent Chen into the tank and she pushed in two time-banks before making the call and instantly mucking her hand when Rozhynskyi tabled A♣ K♦ for top top.

Daisuke Taketomi bet 1,500 into a 6,800 pot with a flop of 3♦ 8♠ A♦. The other player in the hand, big blind Haogen Huang, made it 4,000 which Taketomi called.

The turn showed 7♥ and Huang led out with another 6,000 which Taketomi called once again.

Slightly frustrated, Huang made a massive overbet of 35,000 on the 9♠ river. Taketomi, flustered threw in a time bank card to properly think of what to do next. He, finally, conceded both the hand and the pot to Huang.

Hayato Kitajima raised to 2,400 from under the gun and found calls from Zixiong Jiang in early position and Afu Wang in middle position. Action was folded to Haibo Yang in the cut-off who three-bet jammed all in for 37,000.

Action folded back around to Jiang who made the call after being charged a time-bank. Wang slammed in his time-bank stack as if he needed to think for a long time but then instantly folded! It was in fact Jiang who was at risk.

Zixiong Jiang: K♥ Q♥

Haibo Yang: A♥ Q♠

No miracles for Jiang on the 4♠ 2♦ 4♥ 8♦ 8♠ run-out and he was sent to the rail.

Zhu made the call and the dealer rolled off the 2♠ as the turn card. Zhu checked again and now Ling bet out for 7,500. Zhu tanked for a short while before folding his cards and Ling was pushed the pot.

Action was picked on huge pot worth 40,000 and on a board of 6♦ 9♠ 7♠ 9♦. After big blind Cheng Cheng checked to his heads-up opponent, Xing Wang bet 14,000 which prompted Cheng to shove all-in for around 60,000. Wang snap-called for her tournament life.

Xing Wang: Q♣ 9♣

Cheng Cheng: T♣ T♦

Wang beat Cheng's tens with turned trips. Cheng still had additional outs with a gut-shot straight draw but the river J♦ ended his chance of turning things around. He had to surrender his chips to Wang, leaving only around 24,000 behind.

The dealer fanned A♦ J♣ T♣ and after a check from the blinds, Andy Chen continued with 4,500. Wei Ting Chen folded but Phutiya called. Liang looked shortly at Phutiya then folded.

Both players checked the 7♣ turn but on the 5♠ river, Phutiya thought a bit and with shaky hands put in 20,000, making Liang give a little smile as he looked on. Chen, groaned in frustration amused with himself. He twirled his hand enough for Phutiya to see, prompting her to show A♣ 8♣ for a flush.

With the board of 7♣ 4♥ 4♦ 4♠ K♦ fanned out across the table and over 13,000 in the pot Dimitri Urban had tossed out a bet of 12,000.
