Running up a storm, Cheolmin Byeon delivered another elimination with Finn Penderak falling with ace-king over a flip against Byeon's pocket queens. The 70K boost was just enough to propel Byeon up the ranks and step into the lead.

Junwoo Lee opened to 10,000 and flicked in 17,500 more following an all-in from Finn Penderak behind.

Up for a flip, board 6♥ Q♠ 5♣ 5♥ 9♠ ran in favor of Penderak's overcards, earning him another chance at making Day 2.

In battle for a 22,500 pot on flop 6♦ K♣ 4♣ , three way action saw Junwoo Lee continue with a bet of 8,000. Finn Penderak called behind, and faced a check jam for 16,500 more from Terry Gonzaga on the big blind. Both made the call and checked down turn 6♣ and river 5♥ .

Gonzaga showed flush 8♣ 5♣ , leaving both top pairs bound for the muck.
