MAIN EVENT (CS) - 8 HANDED

Flight A will end when the four ITM spots are determined that will bag their chips for Day 2 on Thursday the 15th.

With a 1,600 raise from the hijack and a call in front, Selim Souissi squeezes to 3,500 and watches both opponents fill up to see the flop 7♦ 8♦ 9♦ . Checked to button Stephen Song - fresh from his biggest cash of $1,4M for shipping the EPT Barcelona Main Event in August - 3,000 wander over the line and only Souissi calls for the turn J♥ where the Tunisian check calls another 5,500 before the board completes J♠ . With a last ditch effort to steal the pot, Song jams 13,000, but Souissi puts his cape on for a hero call with 6♥ 6♣ , beating Song's A♠ 6♠ .

Cutoff Yu Liu raises 1,200, the button flats and small blind Jieming Xu squeezes to 4,000. Only Liu sticks around to the flop 2♥ A♠ 5♠ where Xu fires 8,000 and shows 9♠ 7♦ after Liu let it go.

Jeju Regular Jieming Xu leads the way with a 1,100 raise from +1 and finds two callers before the flop 2♣ A♥ 5♠ hits the felt. Xu's 1,700 continuation gets called by both before big blind Yu Liu switches to a 2,100 lead on the turn 4♥ and scoops the pot.

An 800 raise and a flat in front has button Jieming Xu squeeze to 2,700 and both opponents fill up to see the flop 4♣ 6♥ J♣ . Checked around to the turn A♠ , Xu forks out a 3,500 delayed c-bet that gets the job done.
