The final three players are on a 10-minute break.
Pete Chen moved all in from under the gun, and Najeem Ajez made the call for his stack of 8,575,000 on the button. Myles Mullaly committed his stack of 9,300,000 in the big blind, and all three hands were turned up.
Najeem Ajez: A♦J♦
Myles Mullaly: A♠K♠
Pete Chen: K♦Q♦
All four players at the table were standing, with Chen calling for a queen to score two bounties. The 5♣6♣4♦6♥6♦ runout missed everyone, leaving Mullaly to claim the pot and send Ajez out in fourth position.
One hand after doubling up, Endrit Geci put all of his chips in play again from the small blind. Myles Mullaly made the call with less.
Myles Mullaly: A♦K♣
Endrit Geci: A♠Q♥
A king on the flop was enugh for Mullaly to double-up through a full board of 5♥K♠J♣3♣7♠.
After Najeem Ajez had gone all in three of four hands, winning them all without a fight, he shoved again from the small blind, apparently looking to pick up the blinds once more.
Endrit Geci defended with less from the big blind.
Endrit Geci: A♦Q♠
Najeem Ajez: J♥7♠
Gegi's advantage turned into near total control on a flop of 9♠Q♦Q♥.
The turn brought the 10♥ and a straight draw for Ajez, but the 10♦ on the river gave Geci a full house and a full double-up.
Yohwan Lim raised all in from the hijack. Najeem Ajez made the call in the big blind.
Yohwan Lim: 7♣7♥
Najeem Ajez: A♦K♦
Ajez took over the lead in the classic race when the flop hit 3♦K♥4♣, giving him a pair of kings. The rest of the runout 8♦9♣ left matters as they were and Lim's tournament was over.
Gansukh Sandagsuren moved all in for 2,400,000 from the small blind, and Najeem Ajez made the quick call in the big blind.
Gansukh Sandagsuren: A♣Q♠
Najeem Ajez: K♣K♦
Sandagsuren found plenty of help on the 4♦A♠A♥ flop, and remained in front after the 10♦ turn. The crowd then reacted as the K♠ hit the river, giving Ajez a full house to send Sandagsuren out in sixth place.
Level: 36
Blinds: 400,000/800,000
Ante: 800,000
Pete Chen opened from under the gun to 1,200,000, and Myles Mullaly defended his big blind.
Mullaly checked the 7♦A♣9♠ flop, and Chen continued with a bet of 800,000. That produced a quick fold from Mullaly, and Chen added to his chip lead.
Endrit Geci raised from under the gun. Daniel Tafur was forced all in from the small blind with his last 100,000 chip.
Daniel Tafur: 7♠6♦
Endrit Geci: A♦9♥
Tafur had live cards, but Geci paired his ace on the flop, and took the hand on a final board of K♣4♦A♣Q♦6♣.
