20K (SHR) - 8 HANDED ($20,000)

The dealer makes short work of Yu by flipping over 2♦ 9♥ K♥ 2♠ J♣ and we lose our last Chinese contender.

After chopping a preflop all-in against Cates two hands ago, Lei Yu is back with A♥ A♣ on the button and only calls Calvin Lee's 60,000 raise from +1 who has A♠ K♦ . Lee continues for 55,000 on the flop K♣ 5♥ 7♠ and Yu fills up to see the 6♥ turn hit the felt. Both players are trapping with a check and the board completes 8♦ for a scary four-liner. Lee pulls the trigger with a jam that puts Yu in the tank. He puts all his time banks in front, but lets go of the aces after using only three of them.

After taking down two single raised pots in the three hands before, Yisha Chen cements her second place on the leaderboard.

Cates picked up the blinds and Gavin lost a small pot against Istvan Birizdo that leaves him with crumbs.

With a few minutes of break left for the live stream production, the players are getting ready for their formal walk in.

Stephen Song extended his lead already, but Yisha Chen drew a good seat in position of him to maybe challenge the American bracelet holder.
