On the verge of a pay jump, Sho Homma raises from middle position to 50,000, and Victor Li reraises from the cutoff to 250,000, leaving himself just 5K behind. Homma moves all in, and Li uses a Time Chip to tank for about a minute before he calls all in for 255,000 with J♦ J♥ .

Homma turns over K♥ Q♣, and Li needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board comes 9♥ 6♥ 3♥ 4♠ 5♣ , and the pocket jacks hold up for Li to win the pot and double up in chips.

Once the final three tables are set, Aditya Agarwal raises into the blinds and Sho Homma defends. Homma check-calls for 85,000 on the A♣ J♠ 7♦ flop and checks the K♦ turn. Agarwal now bets 225,000 and that wins the pot without further resistance.

Edgar Antezana has A♥ K♥ at under the gun and gives it a bump to 20,000. The blinds call and it's off to the flop 4♠ 8♥ T♥ . Antezana continues for 26,000, small blind Victor Li challenges with a check-raise of 90,000, big blind Sumit Sapra tanks for one time bank then folds while Antezana snap-shoves. Li snap-calls and shows 5♥ 6♥ .

The turn 3♠ changes nothing while the river K♣ ensures the win for Antezana and the double up.

Victor Li has taken full command of table 9, entering multiple pots as he muscles with his big stack. The first hand starts with a loss against Thomas Boivin on a board showing J♦ J♠ 9♣ Q♦ 8♥ . They check the river. Li has K♦ Q♣ , Boivin has A♦ T♠ straight.

Three hands later, Li raises 16,000 from cutoff and is called by button Ryan Plant and big blind Jeremy Jehanne. Li continues for 20,000 at the flop 4♥ K♥ 6♥ and only Plant calls. Li fires again on the turn 2♦ for 72,000 and Plant calls. On the river 3♥ , Li shoves and Plant folds.

Now at hijack, Li opens 16,000 again,, cutoff Plant calls, and big blind Ngoc Ha Nguyen joins in. Like previous, Li comes out firing for 20,000 on the flop A♠ 5♠ 2♥ and only Plant continues to the turn 3♠ . Both players check. On the river 9♦ , Li shoves and Plant folds once again.

A scan of the field during the break turned up 18 players with at least 600K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

Down to the last 15,000, Ivan Karatayeu is all-in with the 6♠ 6♥ and flips against Victor Li with the A♥ 9♣ . The T♦ T♥ 9♥ 2♥ 8♣ board pairs Li's kicker and Karatayeu exits the tournament area.

A scan of the field during the break turned up 14 players with at least 200,000 in chips, plus one more knocking on the door to create an unofficial leaderboard:

Victor Li is sitting on the largest stack at table 2 and continues to grind it out to reach 200K. Catching a couple of hands, he three-bets 14,000 on top of a raise that was called by two players. Everyone folds.

On another hand, he three-bets to 7500 and Renat Boghdanov defends his raise by calling it. On the flop A♥ Q♥ 4♥ , Li continues for 4800 and wins the pot.

They both check it for a free peek at the river 4♥ . Li goes all in for 26,200, Held makes the reluctant call then sees the bad news. Held's K♣ Q♦ top pair is outkicked by Li's A♦ Q♠ .
