Mehdi Chaoui Eliminated in 3rd Place for KRW 56,310,000 (~USD 42,340)

Level 28: 150,000 / 300,000 ante: 300,000

Mehdi Chaoui

Hand 207: Tom Verbruggen raised to 600,000 from the button before snap-calling Chaoui Mehdi's shove for 3,000,000.

Chaoui Mehdi: K♣ Q♣

Tom Verbruggen: 9♣ 9♠

Verbruggen was ahead but had to fade Mehdi's overcards, and the king on the T♥ K♥ 7♦ flop put the short stack in front.

The 8♣ turn gave Verbruggen an open-ender, but it was the 9♦ river that delivered a set to score the knockout.

Mehdi was sent to the rail in 3rd place for KRW 56,310,000 (~USD 42,340), setting up heads-up play between Verbruggen and Jun Li.

Hand 193: Trinh Anh Tuan limped from the small blind before big blind Tom Verbruggen raised to 1,000,000. Tuan then three-bet jammed for 7,500,000, and Verbruggen snap-called.

Trinh Anh Tuan: T♥ T♠

Tom Verbruggen: A♣ Q♠

The Vietnamese player was flipping for his tournament life, while a win for the Dutchman would put him firmly in the driving seat heading into three-handed play.

The Q♦ window card made it plain sailing for Verbruggen on the 8♣ Q♦ 3♥ flop, vaulting him into the lead.

The 9♣ turn gave Tuan a gutshot, but the 6♥ river bricked, sending him out in 4th place for KRW 46,520,000 ( ~USD 34,980).

Both players checked the T♠ 9♦ 5♠ flop and the 8♣ turn.

Verbruggen's 4♣ 3♥ made a pair of fours, good enough to beat Mehdi's A♠ J♦ and take the pot.

Hang Xu

Hand 181: Hang Xu called from the small blind and Tom Verbruggen checked his option in the big blind.

Xu Doubles Back-to-Back

Level 27: 125,000 / 250,000 ante: 250,000

Hand 178: Hang Xu jammed from the cutoff for his last 100,000. Chaoui Mehdi then shoved from the small blind for 7,700,000, and the big blind got out of the way.

Hang Xu: A♦ A♥

Chaoui Mehdi: 7♦ 6♥

Xu had picked up pocket rockets but was probably disappointed with the timing, left with just half a big blind and looking to chip up to 550,000.

The flop came 6♣ 9♦ T♣ , and Mehdi picked up plenty of outs. The J♠ turn changed little, and the J♦ river secured the double for Xu.

Hand 179: Xu limped from the hijack for 250,000, and small blind Jun Li completed, with Trinh Anh Tuan checking his option.

The dealer fanned the Q♦ 4♥ 3♠ flop, and the action checked through to the 4♣ turn, where everyone checked again.

The 9♦ completed the board, and Li checked to Tuan, who bet 300,000. Xu called off his last 300,000, and after Li folded, the two tabled their hands.

Hang Xu: T♥ 9♥

Trinh Anh Tuan: 9♣ 2♣

Both players had a nine, so the pot was chopped.

Hand 180: Tom Verbruggen raised to 575,000 from the hijack and and folded after Jun Li shoved on the button holding J♣ J♥ .

Chaoui held the lead with his Ladies, and the K♥ 4♦ K♦ 9♠ 2♣ runout changed nothing – awarding him the double up and leaving Xu with just 100,000 behind.

Level 21: 30,000 / 60,000 ante: 60,000

Ankit Ahuja

Ankit Ahuja opened Q♥ J♣ from the hijack and Mehdi Chaoui three-bet to 325,000 from the cutoff with A♥ 6♥. Ahuja called and the pair saw the 8♥ Q♠ A♣ flop.

Ahuja, who flopped middle pair, check-called a 160,000 bet by Chaoui and the A♦ was turned.

Chaoui, who was now looking at trip aces, saw both players check to the 8♦ river.

Ahuja checked his option, and Chaoui bet out 595,000. This sent Ahuja into the tank and he called, paying off Chaoui's boat.

Button Shinnosuke Takuma raised to 120,000 and was joined on the flop by the blinds, Jun Li and Xiubo Li.

All three players checked the 2♦ A♦ T♦ flop. On the Q♠ turn, Jun checked before Xiubo shovelled and took down the modest pot.

Despite the pickup, Xiubo is still trailing with around 15 big blinds.

Level 21: 30,000 / 60,000 ante: 60,000

Daniel Neilson

In the first hand back from the break, Daniel Neilson opened to 265,000 from the small blind, leaving just 5,000 not committed to the pot. Higor Seibel was in the big blind and moved all in, forcing Neilson to put his last chip into the middle.

Daniel Neilson: K♦ 8♦

Higor Seibel: A♦ 7♣

Neilson needed to hit, to stay alive but missed on the Q♥ Q♠ J♠ flop. There was some hope of the straight draw, but the 7♠ turn saw those chances end.

He was eliminated from the tournament as the dealer placed the J♠ river, and he took home KRW 9,170,000 (~USD 6,895) for a 13th place finish.

Both checked to the 4♦ river and Li checked his two pair. Xu, who was looking at the bigger two pair, bet 555,000 and Li called, passing the pot to Xu.

Seunghyun Nam: K♣ Q♣

Stanley Weng opened from under the gun and was three-bet to 300,000 by Chaoui Mehdi in the hijack. Action folded back to Weng, who moved all in for about 850,000 total. Mehdi called with a slightly covering stack and a showdown was held.

Stanley Weng: A♣ T♣

Chaoui Mehdi: A♦ K♦

Weng was dominated, and the 3♦ K♣ A♥ flop looked grim for him after improving Mehdi to top two pair.

The Q♣ turn was the ultimate sweat card for Weng, however, as it brought him both straight and flush draws.

No luck for Weng, however, as the 7♥ river bricked out – eliminating Weng in 15th place.

Level 20: 25,000 / 50,000 ante: 50,000

Nevan Chang

Nevan Chang opened to 440,000 from the hijack leaving just 5,000 behind. Shinnosuke Takuma jammed from the cutoff for 1,200,000 and Xiubo Li re-jammed out of turn from the big blind for over 3 million, covering both. Chang asked for a count before making the call.

Nevan Chang: K♥ Q♣

Shinnosuke Takuma: J♥ J♦

Xiubo Li: K♦ K♠

Chang was at risk, as was Takuma, and when the cards were flipped both were behind.

The 6♣ 5♦ 5♣ flop was good for Li, but Takuma found a jack on the J♣ turn and that locked him up the pot and saved him from elimination after the 6♠ fell on the river.

Li took a significant tumble from the top of the counts after the hand and Chang took home a KRW 7,700,000 (~USD 5,790) payout, after his run ended in 16th place.

Chao Ting Cheng: A♥ T♥

Ankit Ahuja: T♣ T♦

Cheng needed to find an ace, but there was little in the way of help on the 7♦ 7♠ 9♥ flop, leaving him with only slim backdoor draws.

Seibel promptly jammed and Hollink called just as quickly.

Rob Hollink: A♣ Q♣

Higor Seibel: A♥ 3♦

The 2♦ A♦ K♥ flop was safe for Hollink, with the Brazilian asking for a deuce to chop.

The 4♦ turn was a scare card, though, giving Seibel a flush draw and a wheel draw.

The Q♦ river completed the flush, something Seibel didn't seem to be aware of until the Dutchman got up from his seat.

Vinay B

After just seven hands of hand-for-hand action, and the first all in and call, Xiubo Li raised to 60,000 from the small blind and Vinay B moved all in with 330,000 fro the big blind.

Li snap called and on the stone money bubble, it was Viney B at risk of being eliminated, without taking home the minimum payout of KRW 7,020,000 (~USD 5,280).

Vinay B: A♠ Q♠

Xiubo Li: Q♦ J♦

Vinay B was ahead when the cards were flipped, but the 6♦ T♣ K♦ flop brought in a sweat as it saw Li pick up the open-ended straight draw.

Xiubo Li

Li didn't have to wait long as the A♣ was turned, and it was looking likely for Vinay B to be the High Roller bubble boy, with just a jack as outs.

A 9♥ river saw to the elimination of Vinay B in 21st place, narrowly missing the money, and adding even more to Li's towering stack.

Jun Chen: A♦ A♠

Kyosuke Nagami: 6♥ 6♠

Daniel Neilson opened from early position and Yuichi Sumida three-bet to 150,000 from the cutoff. Neilson looked down at his stack and moved all in for 1,000,000, covering Sumida's last 796,000, which at the time was good for around 32 big blinds.

Daniel Neilson: A♦ Q♠

Yuichi Sumida: A♣ K♠

Sumida was looking to hold and the 2♣ T♣ 4♠ flop was good for him. The J♣ turn and K♣ river locked him up a double, putting him over 1.5 million in chips.

Yuhan Liu

Xiubo Li raised to 60,000 from the hijack and just behind him, Yuhan Liu moved all in for a bit over 400,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Li, who tossed in a single chip to put Liu at risk.

Yuhan Liu: Q♣ J♣

Xiubo Li: T♣ T♦

It was a fair fight, but the 8♠ 6♦ 4♥ 8♥ 9♠ runout favored Li's tens this time, awarding him the knockout and bringing the field down to three tables remaining.

Michael Nam opened Q♦ T♥ from the hijack and Mehdi Chaoui called with 9♦ 9♣ in the cutoff. Chao Ting Cheng also defended A♦ 4♦ from the big blind, taking the players three-ways to the flop.

The dealer fanned the J♥ 5♥ 2♣ and action checked to Chaoui who was still ahead with his pocket nines. He took time before also checking his option and the players saw a 8♥ turn.

Cheng checked, Nam bet 60,000 and both players mucked, allowing Nam to scoop another pot. Cheng was down to around ten big blind after the hand, being one of the shortest in the remaining field.

Mehdi Chaoui

Vinay B opened with T♠ T♦ from middle position and Michael Nam three-bet to 200,000 with A♦ A♣ from the small blind. Vinay B got away from Nam's aces as he slid his tens into the muck.

A few hands later, Mehdi Chaoui was on the button and opened to 48,000. Vinay B was in the big blind and moved all in for 913,000. Chaoui made the call for his 455,000 stack, putting himself at risk.

Mehdi Chaoui: Q♠ Q♦

Vinay B: A♥ 9♥

Chaoui was hoping to hold, and the 2♣ 5♦ 7♠ flop was good for his queens. A 9♣ turn saw Vinay B improve, but it wasn't enough to take the pot as the 2♦ gave Chaoui the pot.

Higor Seibel

Stanley Weng raised to 60,000 from the hijack and small blind Higor Seibel was the only caller.

Seibel quickly check-called when Weng fired 60,000 on the 3♠ 8♣ 9♠ flop.

The action repeated on the A♣ turn, this time for 100,000.

Seibel checked a third time on the 5♥ river, and Weng, presumably smelling the smoke, checked behind. Seibel turned over A♦ J♦ and gestured to the dealer to send the chips his way.

"Pass me the pot, please," he said as Weng mucked.

Action checked to Pan, who continued for 60,000 on the 7♠ 4♥ 4♦ flop. Tang folded, but Xu check-raised to 155,000. Pan called.

Both players checked on the 6♥ turn and then Xu led out for 180,000 after the J♦ completed the board.

Pan took one last peek at his hole cards and then flung them into the muck, awarding Xu the pot to grow his stack to about 3,000,000.

Daniel Neilson opened A♣ J♥ on the button and Chao Ting Cheng defended Q♠ 9♥ from the big blind.

The 4♣ 9♦ 3♠ flop saw Cheng hit top pair and he check-called a 44,000 bet by Neilson.

A 7♣ turn saw both check to the J♣ river.

Cheng checked, but Neilson had picked up jacks and bet out 148,000. Cheng took his time, before finding the fold.

Lee Wee Liew

Lee Wee Liew open-jammed his 239,000-chip stack from the small blind into big blind Daniel Lei, who took a few moments before making the call.

Lee Wee Liew: Q♣ T♦

Daniel Lei: K♠ 9♣

Liew flopped a gutshot on the 6♣ 7♣ 8♦ flop, but Lei was still in the lead with king-high and an open-ender of his own.

That changed when the 9♠ hit the turn, giving Liew his straight and leaving Lei hoping for a ten to chop.

The 6♠ river changed nothing, and Lei was left with just a few big blinds to work with.

Xu then proceeded to check-call bets from Verbruggen on every street. First for 50,000 on the J♦ T♠ 9♥ flop, then for 210,000 on the 6♣ turn, and finally for 425,000 on the 6♥ river.

Verbruggen tabled 8♣ 7♦ for a flopped straight, but it was no good against Xu's T♦ T♥ for a full house – awarding Xu the massive pot to take over the chip lead.

Ankit Ahuja: K♥ Q♦

Chao Ting Cheng: A♦ J♠

Cheng was ahead when the cards were flipped, and the 2♣ 6♣ 8♦ flop was no help for Ahuja.

There was some hope on the K♦ turn and Ahuja just needed to evade an ace on the river to double up.

A 5♣ completed the board and Ahuja won the pot and kept his seat at the feature table.

Mingzhe Zhou: A♦ K♦

Elmer Kalaquian: A♦ Q♣

Tom Verbruggen: 9♣ 9♥

Verbruggen has been running hot since the start of the day, spinning his stack up from 882,000 to around 1,800,000.

That run continued as the Filipino failed to hit either of his overcards on the 5♠ 3♣ K♦ 8♣ J♦ runout, sending the substantial pot to Verbruggen and putting him ahead of the pack.

Chengcai Pan: 7♦ 7♠

Shinnosuke Takuma: Q♣ Q♥

Pan went with his pair, but would need some serious help against Takuma's Ladies to keep his run alive.

It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 3♥ Q♠ 2♣ 4♥ 6♦ runout needlessly improved Takuma to a set – eliminating Pan as the money bubble comes into view.

Both players checked on the J♣ 9♣ 8♦ flop and then He called an 80,000 bet from Verbruggen on the 2♦ turn.

The 3♠ completed the board and Verbruggen bet enough to put He all in for his last 150,000.

He slammed all of his timebanks into the middle and used up a couple of them before committing his final chips into the middle.
