Geunseop Ban was able to add some chips on the outer table with the latest pick-up featuring a river bet worth 125,000 from under the gun against big stack Yoo Young Jin on the K♦ 7♦ 5♣ Q♠ 9♦ board. No call followed but Jin was very intrigued.

Sumin Im raised to 34,000 from an early position with the K♣ J♠ when Gwongjin Park limped the A♣ 5♦ and Park called to the A♠ 5♥ 4♥ flop. Lim bet 18,000 and Park raised to 35,000. The three-bet to 120,000 by Lim followed but he folded to Park's shove.

Over on the live stream table, Min Hyeong Park raised to 12,000 with the 6♦ 6♣ from an early position and called a three-bet to 26,000 by Gwongjin Park in the big blind with the A♣ J♣ . They checked the A♠ 9♦ 2♠ flop, the 4♥ turn saw a bet of 13,000 and a call. They checked the 4♦ river again and the ace won it for the bigger-stacked Park.

Four ways with 13,000 each invested ahead of the T♠ 5♣ 3♥ flop, Geunseop Ban and Gwongjin Park checked. Hyukjin Kwon bet 25,000 and Sumin Lim called, the other two players folded.

Kwon bet another 44,000 on the Q♠ turn to get called before they checked the 2♥ river. Kwon tabled 4♣ 3♣ for a pair of fours and Lim won the pot with K♠ T♥ for a pair of tens.

There has been no all-in and call yet on the money bubble but Yun Hye Kim has dropped into the danger zone. On her table, a multi-way pot emerged to the 9♥ 5♦ 4♠ flop on which Junghwan Kim bet for the win the scoop the chips without resistance.

"We are one elimination away from hand-for-hand," the floor staff announced as Chunjong Park had been eliminated shortly after the double knockout. And there was another all-in and call on the other table.

However, Yoo Young Jin had little to worry on a board of Q♦ T♣ 4♥ T♠ 9♥ as his Q♠ T♥ had turned tens full of queens. He doubled through Gwongjin Park with the K♥ J♥ for the king-high straight to jump up on the leaderboard.

After this sudden burst of action, there are only 14 players remaining.

Gwongjin Park defended the big blind and check-called a bet on the Q♥ J♣ 5♥ flop. He did so again for 15,000 on the 9♦ turn and then check-called the J♠ river for 30,000. Yoo Young Jin flashed ten-nine but Park won the hand with the Q♦ 6♥ for superior two pair.

Out of the big blind, Pan Geunseop led the Q♥ Q♠ 8♦ 6♦ turn for 7,000 and earned a caller in Gwongjin Park. He then increased the sizing to 20,000 on the 7♥ river and Park quickly folded.

There are still 19 players remaining on three tables. Once the field is down to 18 and balances to two tables, the shot clocks will come into play.

A short stack got the last 10,700 in the middle with the Q♥ J♦ and Gwongjin Park looked them up with the A♠ K♣ . The board ran out T♣ 8♣ 5♥ 4♠ 4♦ and Park dodged the two live cards and gutshot.

Shortly after, he called the three-bet shove of his table neighbour for 8,700 and was trailing with Q♦ Q♣ versus K♣ K♦ . However, that all changed on the Q♠ 8♣ 6♣ A♥ 2♥ runout as Park sent another opponent to the rail.
