W HIGHROLLER ($5,000)

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.

Phan Minh Tri opened to 16,000 from the hijack and got a call from Sia Lee in the small blind.

The flop came T♣ Q♥ 9♦ . Lee checked, and Tri fired a c-bet of 20,000. Lee made the call.

Both players checked the turn K♦ and the river T♠ .

Tri revealed Ace Queen for two pair, but Lee turned over K♠ 9♠ for a stronger two pair to take down the pot and snatch the chip lead from Tri.

In a pivotal hand, Henri Hinds got all his chips in with pocket tens against Phan Huu Minh Tri, who held K♠ J♠ .

The flop came 9x 3♠ Qx , giving Minh Tri a gutshot straight draw. The turn brought the T♠ , great for Hinds as it gave him a set, but it also completed Minh Tri’s straight.

The river A♠ changed nothing, and with that, Henri Hinds was eliminated.

Phan Huu Minh Tri climbed to 830,000 in chips, putting himself in strong contention near the top of the leaderboard.
