Both players put all-their chips in the middle for a showdown. Azizjon Rakhimov's 5♦ 5♠ vs A♦ 7♦ of Yu Xiangyu

Board came A♠ 5♣ K♠ K♣ 2♥ and Yu is sent to the rail at 5th place.

The coverage was interrupted midway, but Xu Xinyin must've called the all-in shove of Azizjon Rakhimov with A♥ T♥ for 3,800,000, risking halh her stack with 7♥ 7♠.

When coverage continued we saw Xu Xinyin shoving all-in with pocket nines and not getting any callers.

Meanwhile, let's update the chip stacks:

In the next hand,

Kramer K♦ T♠ min-raised and Xu defended the big blind with 4♣ 3♥. Both checked to river. Board showed 8♣ Q♥ 4♦ T♦ Q♣ Kramer bet 400,000 and Xu called losing to the pair ten.

Xinying Xu maybe feeling a little jittery on the final table with all the camera and lights.

Here are some top chip counts.

We joined the hand with the all-in button on Yun Jungsup who was peeling his cards to Xinyin Xu. There was a T♥ on the top and Jungsup slowly revealed the bottom 9♥ as if in a magic show. Almost as if he pushed all-in blind. Xu's K♥ K♦ were already on the table with all the chips to be fought for.

The board came A♣ Q♠ K♠ to give Xu a set and Jungsup a gut-shot straight draw. The board completed 3♥ K♣ with Xu rivering quad kings to add emphasis on Jungsup's exit. Jungsup smiled all the way to the payout cage.

Action folded to the blinds when small blind Li Yongxin limped and Xinyin Xu checked her option to see a flop of T♦ 2♠ 9♠. Both checked to see a 9♦ on the turn. Yongxin check-called the 175,000 bet of Xu to see a 4♣ on the river. Both checked.

Li Yongxin flipped over A♦ K♦ which was drawing to a nut flush while Xu flipped over K♠ 2♣ to win the pot with a pair of deuces. Xu smiled and thanked the poker gods nothing catastrophic happened.

There was around 480,000 in the pot beside a board that read 2♥ A♠ 5♦ 9♠. Kausinis fired 325,000 from the hi-jack. Xinyin Xu made a raise to 700,000 and Kausinis folded. Round 1 to Xu.

A few hands later, a pot of 600,000 sat beside a board that showed 8♠ 8♦ 4♠ J♠ T♣. Kausinis fired 275,000 and Xu tanked before folding. Round 2 to Kausinis.
