South Korea’s Song Sang Yoon leads Flight D’s 19-survivor pack with a 571,000 chip count to end the day. Also advancing through are previous PokerStars Main Event champions Jason Kyle Magbanua and William Ysmael.

Folded to small blind Jeffrey Pardales, he moved all-in for 103,000 total with A♦ 2♥ and was called by big blind Song Sang Yoon with K♥ 3♥ . Slightly ahead, Pardales was crushed to see Song roll a flush by the turn T♥ 9♥ 4♦ 6♥ 2♦ , eliminating him from the Main Event games right on the bubble.

With big blind Alex Torre-Franca already all-in, Rick Jason Ambata and Liu Zhiqiang limped in and checked the board J♥ 2♥ 3♣ Q♠ 4♦ down to the river.
Torre-Franca 6♦ 10x Ambata A♠ 8♦ Liu 6♣ 7♥
All missing to pair up, Ambata’s ace high is good for the win, knocking Torre-Franca out a two spots short of the money.
