In rapid fashion, the field was whittled down to just 30 hopefuls and three of the female contestants have vanished. Ji Eun Park was the first to disappear before Yerim Park missed a chop or possible upset against Alan "King Lun" Lau with J♣ 5♠ versus 5♣ 5♦ when both had a straight draw with the five.

Yuri Murakami then bowed out in a three-way all-in as well.

Furthermore, Konosuke Yoshimura got his chips in with 8♦ 8♠ against the K♦ Q♥ of Xiao Shizi and couldn't hold up on a board of K♠ T♠ 6♦ A♥ 6♠ .

In multi-way action to the 7♦ 5♠ 5♣ flop, Sungmin Ha in the small blind and Tetsuya Fujiwara in the big blind came along when Ji Eun Park bet 1,900. The trio checked the 9♦ turn and Fujiwara was the one to bet the 6♥ river for 5,400.

Park went long in the tank before she eventually called, but mucked after being shown 8♣ 7♣ for a straight.

With four ways and 1,200 invested on a A♣ T♠ 2♠ flop, the 9♥ turn was checked to Ji Eun Park. She bet 2,200 this time, picking up calls from Seungmin Lee and Sungmin Ha while Tetsuya Fujiwara folded.

Ha then fired a bet of 14,000 on the 5♦ river and Park tank-folded, as did Lee.
