Peter Kiem raises to 250,000 and Yita Choong three-bets to 550,000 on the button. It folds back to Kiem who quickly moves all-in and Choong snap-folds.

Chipleader Yita Choong raises from the hijack to 250,000, Khorshad Sagor moves all in from the small blind for 2,660,000, and Choong thinks for a bit before he calls with A♥ Q♣ .

After having pocket aces and pocket kings the two previous hands, Sagor turns over -- A♦ A♥ .

But Sagor's premium hands have lost the previous two pots, so his demeanor with the aces is a little more subdued than it otherwise might be.

There is queen in the window as the flop comes K♥ Q♠ 5♥ , giving Choong some outs to crack Sagor's aces.

The turn card pairs the board with the 5♣ , and Choong needs a queen on the river.

The river card is the 9♣ , and the aces hold up for Sagor to win the pot and double up in chips. Thankfully for Sagor, his premium hand held up in the biggest and most important pot of the three.

Vyacheslan Shin moves all in from the cutoff for about 750,000, and Yita Choong quickly calls from the big blind with A♥ A♣.

Shin turns over 9♦ 9♣ , and needs to improve to stay alive.

The board comes K♣ Q♥ 7♣ 5♥ Q♦ , and the aces hold up for Choong to win the pot and eliminate Shin in 13th place.

After 11 levels of play, Day 2 comes to an end with 13 players remaining, and the big stack belongs to Yita Choong, who bagged 9,655,000 (77 big blinds). He is closely followed by Manuel Carvalho, who finished with 9,325,000 (75 big blinds). Carvalho was on a bit of a roller coaster this evening, going from the chipleader all the way down to about one million in chips and then rebounding to finish second in chips closely behind Choong.

The players will keep their same seats, and here are their official chip counts:

Day 3 begins tomorrow (Tuesday) at 11:30 am, and they will play all the way down to a winner.

* First-place amount includes the winner's $10,400 entry into the season-ending WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.

On a board A♥ 2♥ 2♠ 9♣ with 1,200,000 in the pot, Patrik Demus calls Yita Choong's 750,000 bet then they check the river J♠ . Demus shows A♥ Q♦ , and Choong mucks.

Yita Choong opens for 200,000, and Chak Hei Chan with just 2 bb remaining tosses it in hoping for another double up. Though ahead with K♦ 8♣ against J♥ T♥ , the board favors Choong as it runs A♥ 4♠ J♦ T♦ 5♠ . Chan finishes in 17th place.

Here are the official chip counts from the break for the final 18 players, followed by the remaining payouts at stake:

Khorshad Sagor three-bets an open raise by Patrik Demus and the initial raiser calls. On the Q♣ 8♣ 6♥ flop, Demus checks and then folds when he faces a bet worth 350,000.

Yita Choong is currently the clear leader and has added more to his arsenal in a hand against Remy Murcia. Catching the action on a board showing 3♠ 7♦ 7♣ 7♠ , Choong bets around half pot of 380,000 and gets called by Murcia while Andres Vasquez folds. On the river A♦ , Choong fires 850,000, again Murcia calls then mucks to Choong's A♠ Q♦ .

Yita Choong defends his big blind then flops the full house on a board Q♠ J♦ J♥ . He checks and preflop aggressor Daisuke Ogita checks back. On the turn 3♣ , Ogita resumes betting and Choong calls. The river is a blank. Choong checks once more, Ogita bets 350,000, Choong raises 1,300,000, Ogita makes the call then mucks to Choong's Q♣ J♠ .

Early into the new level, Micheal O'Neill limps the small blind and Yita Choong raises to 210,000 from the big blind. O'Neill limp-raises to 430,000 only for Choong to make it 900,000 to go.

O'Neill goes into the tank with three time bank extensions, then nods and sends his cards into the muck with a smirk on the face.

"You waste three time banks for that?!" Choong jokes back, neither player reveals their cards.

On the river of a three-way pot with the board showing K♦ Q♠ 9♠ A♣ 5♥ , Vyacheslan Shin bets 150,000 in the small blind. Andres Vasquez calls from the big blind and Micheal O'Neill folds in an early position.

Shin wins the pot with the A♠ Q♥ , Vasquez flashes his cards for a second and mucks.

Vasquez is down to 335,000 and doubles through Yita Choong in the next hand with A♣ K♥ versus K♠ Q♠ thanks to trips on the A♦ Q♣ J♣ A♠ 2♦ board.

David Sommer is not as fortunate. He arrives on the table with a short stack and busts right away.

Joshua Gebissa is all-in with a dwindling stack and has the unfortunate timing to be dominated with 8♦ 8♥ , as the red-hot running Yita Choong flips over Q♥ Q♠ .

The 7♠ 6♥ 6♦ A♠ Q♦ board further improves Choong to queens full of sixes and reduces the field to the final four tables.

Daisuke Ogita raises to 85,000 and Yita Choong defends the big blind. On a flop of A♣ Q♦ 3♠ , Choong checks and Ogita bets 100,000 to force an instant fold.

In the very next hand, it folds to Choong in the small blind and he piles into Joshua Gebissa to force a fold.

Level 21 comes to an end, and Level 22 begins with increased blinds of 15,000-30,000 and a 30,000 ante. Play continues without a break.

With 52 players remaining from a field of 1,484, the average chip stack is around 1,140,000 (38 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $4,200 each.

The field is playing 11 levels today, and action will continue tonight until the end of Level 27.

In a preflop contest, Yita Choong is all-in for 305,000 with the K♠ K♥ and needs to dodge an ace and diamonds to stay in contention. Table chip leader Carlos Javier Hidalgo has the A♦ 2♦ but cannot get there on the 7♥ 3♠ 2♥ K♦ T♦ board.
