Mini Main Event

Yang Xudong raised to 24,000 from the lo-jack and Guillem Segarra defended the big blind. The flop came Q♠ 3♣ T♣. Segarra check-called the 15,000 bet of Xudong to see a 4♣ on the turn.

Segarra check-called again the 20,000 bet of Xudong to open a 7♦ on the river. Segarra checked and Xudong bet all-in. Segarra thought hard, used up all his time-bank cards, wondered if there will be a zombie apocalypse and made the call.

When both players flipped over their cards, it was noticed that no one hit anything.

Segarra showed K♠ 6♣ for a king-high while Xudong showed A♣ 2♠ for an ace-high, which was good enough to eliminate Segarra as the bubble boy and make Xudong the chip leader of the flight.

Anthony Cierco limped from the button and big blind Lee Gyeongbyeong checked to see a friendly flop of K♣ T♦ 5♦.

Gyeongbyeong check-called the 10,000 bet of Cierco to see a Q♣ on the turn. Gyeongbyeong checked and Cierco bet 50,000. Gyeongbyeong raised all-in and Cierco called, risking his last 189,000.

Gyeongbyeong showed Qs5c for two pair, but it was only second best to Cierco's two pair with K♦ Q♥. The river 9♦ was a brick that gave Cierco the huge double up boost.

Anthony Cierco raised to 16,000 from the cut-off and Liu Yizhi re-raised to 45,000 on the button. Lee Gyeongbyeong then re-raised all-in to 294,000. All else folded to give Gyeongbyeong the pot.

UTG player raised to 17,000. Matthew Itthin Son three-bet shoved all-in for 34,000 from the lo-jack. Big blind Le Manh Cuong called.

Flop came Q♦ Qd 6♦. Cuong bet out 30,000 and UTG folded.

Son and Cuong showed their cards for a show down. Son showed A♥ 5♦, waiting to hit something. Meanwhile, Le Manh Cuong showed 5♠ 5♣ which was in the lead. The rest of the board ran K♠ Q♥, eliminating Son from the tournament.

Kim Jungkyu raised to 12,000 from under the gun and was re-raised all-in on the button by Dinh Quang Trung for 112,000. Jungkyu called and flipped over J♥ J♠ while Trung showed A♦ K♦.

Julian Warhurst and Zhi Buhui were staring at a board of 9♠ 9♦ 3♣ 8♠ beside a 69,000 pot. Buhui bet 25,000 and Warhurst completed to see a 3♠ on the tun. Buhui fired 31,000 and Warhurst still stuck arounnd.

Buhui flipped J♦ 9♥ for a set of nines. Warhurst threw his cards in the muck.

Nguyen Thi My Phuong raised to 12,000 from under the gun and the hi-jack called. Ma Haohui three-bet raised on the button to 42,000. Phuong answered by re-raising to 115,000. Haohui re-raised all-in for 214,000. Phuong completed.

Phuong peeled open A♦ K♠ while Haohui showed his A♠ A♣ with confidence.

The board ran 5♦ 4♥ 2♠ 8♥ 4♦ keeping Haohui ahead all the way. Haohui also made a crucial double-up while doing severe damage to Phuong's stack.
