Hyunsoo Kim got his short stack into the middle with K♦ 3♦ and was up against the 5♦ 5♣ of Manwoo Park. The T♠ 7♦ 3♥ T♦ turn was a tease but the 4♥ river bricked.

One table over, Japan's "EZ" doubled with ace-queen against the king-queen of Kiwook Kang, while Vivi from Japan also doubled his short stack on another table.

A short stack was all-in after the K♥ 7♠ 5♥ 8♥ turn and tabled the 8♦ 7♦ in showdown, up against Kiwook Kang with the 7♥ 3♥ for a made flush. The player at risk had some outs to a full house but the 3♣ river was a blank.

Shortly after, the table then lost Jingon Kim to Tsukasa Endo, who jumped up the leaderboard.

On a board of A♠ 6♦ 3♣ J♠ 7♥ , both Kiwook Kang and Jin Wook Lee flopped a set. The 6♣ 6♠ of Kang was ahead versus 3♦ 3♥ all the way and he took a large bite out of Lee's large stack.

Tetsuya Fujiwara raised to 1,800 from under the gun and Kiwook Kang called in the cutoff. The Q♣ T♦ 8♠ flop and 3♣ turn were checked. Fujiwara bet the K♥ river for 2,600 and Kang called, then didn't need to show any cards to win the pot as Fujiwara mucked to forfeit his ambitions.

Taehong ha was eliminated and Yohan Trens followed suit, then walked over to Jaejoon Yang to spill the beans. Yang was involved in a heads-up pot to the J♥ 6♦ 2♦ 6♣ 5♦ river on which he called a bet of 2,500 by Kiwook Kang.

The latter turned over Ace-Nine but Yang won the pot with the 8♣ 8♥ .

"Queens against five-seven, he turned a straight," Trens told Yang after the hand.

One player was already all-in after the J♣ J♥ 5♥ flop to receive two calls and the 3♦ turn then brought the shove by Tetsuya Fujiwara, which Kiwook Kang called with the covering stack.

The at-risk player showed Q♥ 7♥ for a flush draw, up against Fujiwara with Q♣ J♦ and Kang who held the J♠ T♥ for the same trips but weaker kicker. The river was the 6♦ and Fujiwara won the main and side pot.

Three ways to the Q♦ J♥ 7♦ K♠ turn, the action checked to Gyungmin Lee on the button and he bet 1,500. Only Jin Wook Lee in the big blind called and they checked the Q♣ on the river. One Lee showed the A♦ 6♦ for the busted nut flush draw but the early momentum belonged to the other with the T♦ 9♥ for the bottom end of the straight.
