Jeffrey Pardales exits as the day’s bubble
Folded to small blind Jeffrey Pardales, he moved all-in for 103,000 total with A♦ 2♥ and was called by big blind Song Sang Yoon with K♥ 3♥ . Slightly ahead, Pardales was crushed to see Song roll a flush by the turn T♥ 9♥ 4♦ 6♥ 2♦ , eliminating him from the Main Event games right on the bubble.

Alex Torre-Franca heads for the rails
With big blind Alex Torre-Franca already all-in, Rick Jason Ambata and Liu Zhiqiang limped in and checked the board J♥ 2♥ 3♣ Q♠ 4♦ down to the river.
Torre-Franca 6♦ 10x Ambata A♠ 8♦ Liu 6♣ 7♥
All missing to pair up, Ambata’s ace high is good for the win, knocking Torre-Franca out a two spots short of the money.

No chops for Edzel Villares
Utg Moruzumi Naoya open shoved 33,000 in with A♠ Q♦ and was called by big blind Edzel Villares with A♥ Q♠ . Tabling the same hand, the board unfortunately for Moruzumi, ran a one card flush to Villares’ ace of hearts, knocking him out from the running.
