W HIGHROLLER ($5,000)

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.

Mok Jo Seng opened to 2,500 from the hijack, and Hai Tran 3-bet to 7,000 from the cutoff. Mr. He called from the button.

Action folded back to Seng, who shoved all in. Tran folded, and Mr. He moved all in as well for around 125,000.

Mok Jo Seng: A♣ K♦

Mr. He showed: A♦ T♣

The board ran out T♠ A♥ K♣ 3♥ 9♥ . Both players hit two pair on the flop, but Seng’s aces and kings held up against Mr. He's aces and tens, eliminating Mr. He from the tournament.

Erik Rozhynskyi opened to 3bb, and both Mr. He and Mok Jo Seng called, creating a three-way pot.

The flop came J♥ 5♥ 2♠ . Rozhynskyi checked, and Mr. He bet big for 10,000. Both Rozhynskyi and Seng folded.
