W HIGHROLLER ($5,000)

After an open from Craig Jones, Armon Van Wijk moved all in for his remaining 400,000. Jones didn’t back down and made the call to put Van Wijk at risk.

Armon Van Wijk A♦ J♠

Craig Jones 7♠ 7♦

The board ran out J♣ T♥ 6♦ A♣ 4♥ , giving Van Wijk top two pair to beat the pocket sevens of Jones.

With that, Van Wijk scored a key double up, keeping his tournament hopes alive.

The action heats up, the remaining 12 players are now on a break, with the bubble drawing closer. Hoang Hai Nam is currently in the driver's seat, holding a commanding lead with 2 million in chips.

The pressure is rising as only 13 players remain in the tournament, and the money bubble is quickly approaching. With just a few eliminations left before the payouts begin, every decision is becoming more crucial.

Among the recent bustouts are John Matsuda and Titov Oleg, both of whom fell short of reaching the final table and a potential payday. The remaining players are now fighting not only for a spot at the final table, but also to avoid becoming the last to leave empty-handed.

Play will continue until we reach the final 9, where the real prize chase begins.

Zhifan Ye continues to dominate the field with a towering stack of around 290 big blinds, comfortably holding the chip lead as play continues deep into the tournament.

Trailing behind is Abhijith Cheruku, who also sits in a strong position with approximately 190 big blinds, well above the current average stack of 80 big blinds.

With deep stacks still in play, there's plenty of room for maneuvering, and both Ye and Cheruku are in prime position for a deep run. The rest of the field will need to make moves soon if they hope to catch up.
