Leung barreled another 18,000, leaving Izushima to fold, and Hidenari with a raise to 40,000. Leung called, and paid another 40,000 on river 6♠ , only to muck as Hidenari revealed a full house J♠ 3♠ .

Hon Cheong Lee open shoved 38,000 on the cutoff and saw Hidenari Tomita wake up to the challenge.

In rough shape, Lee headed out shortly after board 3♥ 3♦ 2♠ 5♣ J♥ failed to save him from his demise.

A button vs big blind battle brewed 23,500 in the middle across board 8♥ 8♣ 6♦ 4♣ K♥ . Hsiao Hao Wei tried to make a run for it with a 15,000 bet, but instead got his Q♣ 3♣ exposed after Hidenari Tomita check called with 5♥ 4♠ .

Tang Ngong opens another hand with 32,000 from +1, HJ Yoda Lin Calls and CO Tomita Hidenari wagers his remaining 233,000 with A♠ Q♥ . Trying to isolate, Tang Ngong jams his massive stack with 9♣ T♣ , but Yoda Lin sniffs a good spot to change his tournament for the better, calling 433,000 with A♥ J♥ . The dealer grants him total victory by tabling 5♥ A♣ 6♥ 9♥ K♠ for a flush to send Tomita Hidenari packing and surpassing the former chip leader to his right.

Catching the end of Kim Gilsoo eliminating Lu Chin Tien with a nut flush on the flop, propelling him into the lead, we move on to the next table with the action kicked off by LJ Tomita Hidenari opening to 16,000, Chih Feng Li three-bets to 50,000 and Tomita Hidenari fills up to see the unicolor flop 2♣ 7♣ 5♣ . A 30,000 c-bet and a check-call reveal the turn A♠ where Chih Feng Li lays out a second barrel of 80,000. With the aid of two time banks, Tomita Hidenari finds a min raise to 160,000, but has to let it go after watching Chih Feng Li snap shove 271,000.
