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

With the guaranteed prize pool of $500,000 breached to $640,000 we have 16 out of 32 entries still in the running and late registration is closed. Play will conclude at the end of level 12 today.

The player in the hijack leads 2,500 and takes three customers to the flop 3♠ 3♦ T♣ that gets checked to the turn 9♦ where Renji Mao has a go for 4,000 from the big blind and only cutoff Quan Zhou fills up to watch the board complete Q♣ . Mao fires another 6,000 with 3♣ 2♣ and Zhou calls before throwing it in the muck.

First to act Ivan Zhang opens for another 2,000, hijack Chris Park makes it 5,500, big blind Renji Mao flats and Zhang ups it again to 25,000. Park lets it go and Mao jams which puts Zhang in the tank. He opts to fold after using a time bank and Mao shows the Q♥ .
