The opening levels featured several notable confrontations. Joseph Cheong secured a substantial pot in a three-way hand involving Patrik Antonius and Wenchao Liu, showing ace-jack for trip aces. While Antonius maintained a high level of activity, he was later eliminated when Xixiang Luo called a river overbet with two pair, successfully identifying a bluff.

William Jia also increased his stack by utilizing a significant river overbet against Sean Ooi , showing top pair to take the pot. Ooi subsequently managed to double his remaining stack with ace-king against Shouda Zhang’s ace-queen.
