Yannick Jobin raises from under the gun and Ali Hassan just flats out of the big blind. The stacks then go into the middle on the Q♣ T♠ 9♦ flop with Hassan at risk for approximately 750,000.

Ali Hassan: J♣ J♦

Yannick Jobin: A♥ A♠

Hassan needs to improve but cannot find any help with the 6♠ turn nor the 6♣ river.

Ali Hassan opens to 125,000 and Yuan Yu three-bets to 375,000. Eduard Burd then jams behind them and Hassan folds. Yu almost wants to muck his cards before he realises the all-in and then clarifies three times that he asks for a count, somewhat difficult to understand for the dealer due to Yu wearing a mask.

The all-in is for 845,000 and Yu calls with J♥ J♦ .

Burd tables his Q♥ Q♠ and Yu jokes "okay I fold". The T♠ 5♣ 2♦ Q♣ 2♠ board further improves Burd to queens full and he doubles.

On a flop of 9♥ 6♦ 4♣ , Nariman Yaghmai check-raises from 75,000 to 175,000 and Naj Ajez calls.

The 7♣ follows on the turn and Yaghmai bets 250,000. Ajez pushes all-in with the covering stack and Yaghmai instantly calls.

"Just the nine," Ajez announces and shows A♣ 9♦ . Yaghmai already has the double secured with T♥ 8♣ to make the K♠ river a formality.

"I should have raised the flop," Ajez says after paying off the double worth1,055,000.

Ali Hassan raises from the hijack, Tom Maguire reraises from the button to150,000, and Hassan reraises to 360,000, which is nearly half of his stack.

Maguire uses at least one Time Chip to tank for a while before he five-bets all in, and Hassan folds. Maguire takes the pot.

Ali Hassan flips for his tournament life and the last 470,000 holding the A♣ Q♥ . Yunsheng Sun is ahead with T♣ T♥ but Hassan gets there on the Q♠ 9♣ 8♦ 2♠ K♣ board.

"What did you fold?" Hassan asks and Micheal O'Neill replies "I also had ace-queen," after which Hassan calls him a nit.

Sun is down to slightly more than two blinds and they go in the next hand with the 5♦ 2♦ . Kaifan Wang calls on the button with 8♦ 7♠ and wins with eight-high on the A♦ Q♥ 4♠ T♣ Q♦ .

Ali Hassan raises 25,000 from under the gun, button player Micheal O'Neill and big blind Martin Sedlak give him some action. Hassan continues for 30,000 at the flop Q♥ 5♣ 8♠ , only O'Neill takes him on for a turn card J♣ . Hassan slows down and checks, O'Neill takes control for 80,000, Hassan calls and the board completes 4♠. Again Hassan passes to O'Neill who fires 140,000, Hassan folds.

Next hand, after O'Neill isn't done. He three-bets 75,000 on top of Kai Wang's open bet, Hassan isn't done either and announces all in for around 550,000. Wang quickly folds while O'Neill says "I can't pay that", and folds. Hassan says "I had better than Ace-Queen" as he arranges his chips.
