Chopped Pot for Short Stacks Apoorval Goel and Yinghao Zhuo

Level 24: 25,000 / 50,000 ante: 50,000

In a battle between the short stacks, Apoorva Goel moves all in from the cutoff for 360,000, and Yinghao Zhuo calls all in from the small blind for 315,000 with A♦ K♦ .

Goel turns over K♠ 9♥ , and Zhuo needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board comes 5♦ 5♣ 4♠ 5♥ 4♥ , and the board brings a full house to chop the pot.

The next hand, chipleader Daniel Charlton raises from the cutoff to 100,000, and Yinghao Zhuo uses two Time Chips to tank for more than a minute before he reraises from the button to 340,000, leaving himself just 25K behind.

Charlton rechecks his cards and says, "It's not aces," before he folds. Zhuo takes the pot.

Apoorva Goel Barrels Into Dominik Nitsche

Level 22: 15,000 / 30,000 ante: 30,000

Apoorva Goel

Dominik Nitsche starts the day well with a showdown pot against Peteris Enders and then loses two medium-sized pots to forfeit some of his early profit.

In the second hand, he defends the big blind against a raise by Apoorva Goel and check-calls the 9♣ 5♦ 3♣ flop for 75,000. On the Q♠ turn, Nitsche check-calls for another 215,000 and checks the J♠ on the river.

Goel bets 110,000 and that eventually gets rid of Nitsche.

Small pots moving around the felt. Among the more decent ones are claimed by Apoorva Goel and Sho Homma.

On the third consecutive hand, Homma opens for 40,000, Riyazati defends on the big blind and defends again on the flop Q♥ 9♣ 9♦ by calling a 25,000 c-bet. On the turn A♦ , Homma fires a larger 80,000 bet, and this time he wins it outright with Riyazati quickly folding.
