The tournament reached the money when the bubble burst on the fourth hand of hand-for-hand play. Tingjia Cao was eliminated in 17th place after his ace-nine failed to overtake the ace-king of Quan Zhou .

Once the remaining field locked up a cash, the pace quickened significantly. It took just two hours to trim the field from 16 down to the final nine, with the day ending when Yilong Wang shoved with king-jack and was looked up by Bowen Li’s ace-queen, which paired its ace on the turn to establish the official final table.

The finalists return today at 1:00 PM to play on the feature table, where the structure will change from 1-hour levels to 25 hands per level until a winner is crowned. Fans can follow the action live via the livestream on RDPT’s official social media channels.
