Main Event

The field has been whittled down to just 21 hopefuls, essentially meaning that half of them will advance with one exception. Yuri Murikami and Jun Young Lee have been eliminated while Alan Lau increased his stack in a heads-up pot versus Dongwoon Lee when his pocket jacks prevailed versus Q♠ T♣ on an ace-king high board.

Joo Hee Oh and Yuri Murakami had re-entered, the same also applied for Gwangsub Lee. The latter got a short stack in with A♥ 5♥ against the A♣ T♥ of Tetsuya Fujiwara and was drawing dead on the turn of a J♠ T♠ T♦ 8♥ 8♣ runout.

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♠ .

Yuri Murakami came in hot after entering around an hour or so and nearly tripled her stack. She recently took some minor losses, one of which came against Yerim Park. On a K♣ Q♣ 3♥ flop, Park check-called for 3,000 and they checked down the 6♦ T♥ runout.

Park showed her K♦ 9♥ and won the pot.
