Enjoy the rest of your night and see you tomorrow for another round of live updates!

Our 19 qualifiers all in on place:

David Rene Mar raises to 8,500 with 7♠ 7♦ from CO, Eva Zhang jams 29,500 with K♦ Q♥ and we have a flip on our hands. The dealer turns over 8♦ J♦ T♣ T♠ Q♣ for a last minute hit, granting Eva Zhang a much needed double up.

Kim Sulbum opens 3,500 from HJ and BB Eva Zhang defends to see the flop 4♥ A♥ 2♥ and six more checks take us to the river 6♥ 4♦ showdown with Kim Sulbum tabling the winner A♦ 6♣ against Eva Zhang's outdrawn A♠ K♣ .

Sergius Santos kicks off with a raise to 600 from UTG and takes three customers to the flop 7♠ J♥ 9♣ where a 1,000 c-bet keeps only SB Eva Zhang around for the turn K♦ . Two checks reveal the river 8♥ and Eva Zhang slides out 2,700 with a straight A♣ T♦ that gets received by a call and a muck.
