After just losing a massive pot against Yang Haibo with 95% on the river, Yu Xiaotong picks up 7♥ 7♠ on the button and Yang Haibo has A♦ K♣ in the big blind. We didnt see how it happened, but both end up all-in pre with Yu Xiaotong being at risk for 950,000. Not being able to catch a break, Yu Xiaotong watches the dealer flip over 5♠ J♥ K♦ 9♥ K♠ and starts packing his things.

Yu Xiaotong has A♠ A♦ in the hijack and Yang Haibo, who just lost a massive pot, picks up J♦ J♣ on the button and they end up all-in pre. Going into day 3 as runner-up, Yang Haibo needs major help to not bust. The dealer erases almost all hope when flipping over 8♣ Q♦ 6♠ 4♣ but grants the two-outer when the river falls J♠ and Yang Haibo is back among the leaders.

Under the gun +1 Yu Xiaotong makes it 40,000 and Sean Ooi defends his small blind to see the flop 4♠ T♠ 9♦ .

The dealer tables 7♥ and Q♣ , giving Yu Xiaotong a straight and catapulting him from the brink of death to the top ten in chips.

Under the gun opens 40,000 and takes three customers to the flop 8♣ 7♣ 4♠ . When checked to him, cutoff Yu Xiaotong bets 75,000 to take down the pot.
