Day 2
Down to the Last Four Tables
Shizi Xiao jammed his K♥ 5♠ into the A♣ A♦ of Ki Taek Kwon and found no escape on the 6♦ 6♠ 4♠ J♥ 6♥ runout.
Hyunwoo Bang was then flipping for his tournament life with 9♣ 9♦ against the A♠ K♣ of Won Beom Seo. The latter got there on the J♠ 6♣ 2♣ A♥ 6♠ board to reduce the field to the last 31 players.

Day 1D
Woongbin Kim Eliminated on the Day 1d Bubble
Woongbin KimWoongbin Kim doubled his short stack again when seven-six flopped a straight to crack aces. He then defended the big blind against Takeshi Odawara and check-called the Q♣ 7♣ 4♠ flop for 10,000. Kim checked the Q♦ turn and folded when Odawara bet bigger to put him in.
Shortly after, Kim jammed for the last 19,000 in the cutoff and was called by Xu Chen on the button. The flip was the best case scenario for Kim with jack-nine suited versus pocket fives. However, the A♦ 4♠ 2♥ K♣ 5♦ board only improved Chen to a set and the final four players then bagged up their chips for the night.
