Gunning for at least a chop, board 3♥ 9♥ 7♦ K♦ K♥ offered none, sending Peng out entirely.

Eddy Cheng opened 120,000 on the hijack and happily called 350,000 more following an all-in for short stacked Joe Keating.

In search of an ace, the board K♣ 7♠ 2♠ T♠ 7♥ instead, ran king high, giving Cheng a boat to send Keating out of the running.

Eddy Cheng raised to 50,000 on the small blind, and called 50,000 more after Wei Jen Wang right behind put in a raise. On flop 9♦ 4♣ 4c , Cheng check called another 50,000, revealing turn T♠ . Both checked it through to river T♥ , where Cheng led a final 250,000. Wang used up two time banks in consideration and eventually opted out.

A three way raised pot dealt flop 4♥ 7♦ 5♦ . Action was checked round to turn T♥ , where Armon Van Wijk led for 35,000 on the big blind. Eddy Cheng on the button bumped it up to 150,000, leaving Van Wijk to tank fold.
