All the chips went in the middle preflop between Jason Tam, Jean-Sebastien Dubois who had around 170,000 and Alex Kulev who was covering them both:
Jason Tam: 7♥7♠
Jean-Sebastien Dubois: J♥J♦
Alex Kulev: A♣A♥
Kulev had the best hand and improved into a set of aces with the board 3♠10♣A♠6♠7♦ to claim the pot and add two bounties to his collection.
Masahiro Oochi raised to 16,000 from early position. Eracles Panayiotou then moved all in from the small blind for 36,000, putting himself at risk. Oochi made the call.
Eracles Panayiotou: K♦5♦
Masahiro Oochi: A♣J♥
Panayiotou's chances weren’t looking good on the 4♠9♦4♥ flop, but the K♥ on the turn changed everything. The river brought the 9♣, a blank, securing a crucial double-up for Panayiotou to stay alive in Event #87.
Kazuhiko Yotsushika went all in on the button with 83,000 chips. Qiang Xu made the call from the big blind.
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: 6♣6♦
Qiang Xu: A♣5♥
A club-heavy runout of J♣5♣9♣8♣A♠ was enough to give Xu the flush and knockout.
Alex Keating opened to 16,000 from middle position and was called by Yang Zhang on the button. Cristofer Baptiste came along with a call from the big blind to bring them to a flop three-handed.
All three players checked the 5♣6♦2♥ flop.
Baptiste checked again on the K♠ turn, which led to a bet of 40,000 from Keating. Zhang called, while Baptiste folded.
The 3♥ river led Keating to check before Zhang chose to jam all-in. Keating did not think long before he folded.
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi limped under the gun before Nicholas Verderamo shoved on the button for 144,000. Casey Yontz moved all in from the small blind for 57,000, and Yontz quickly called the rest of his short stack.
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: Q♣10♦
Casey Yontz: A♣Q♠
Nicholas Verderamo: K♦4♣
Ohulchanskyi hit the only pair on the 10♣3♦9♥9♠8♥ runout, and everyone survived to play another hand.
The flop read 5♦4♣7♥ in a heads-up raised pot when Franck Jacon bet 12,000 before calling a raise from Philip Hui worth 30,000.
The A♠ turn brought no betting action and a A♥ paired the board on the river. Jacon fired 70,000 and Hui didn't take long to fold.
Ali Eslami with a very short stack in the small blind was facing Arieori Miller in the hijack for his tournament's life.
Ali Eslami: 9♦3♥
Arieori Miller: A♥10♣
Miller hit trips on 10♦4♦J♥10♠8♣, leaving no chance for Eslami who was eliminated.
