Yujian Eugen Zhou rasied to 16,000,000 from the button and Brooks Floyd defended in the big blind.

The 3?6?4? flop saw Floyd play out of flow, leading for 12,000,000. Zhou moved all in almost instantly and Floyd called off for his tournament life.

Brooks Floyd: 6?5? All in
Yujian Eugen Zhou: A?6?

Floyd was out-kicked but had an open-ended straight draw for insurance. The 9? turn changed nothing but the 2? river completed Floyd's straight to double him up.

"You played the river perfectly," joked one member of Floyd's rail as they celebrated together.

After an open to 16,000,000 by Yujian Eugen Zhou, Ricky Andino moved all in and Martin Alcaide quickly shoved behind him for more. After thinking about it for a good while, Zhou decided to let it go and the two players tabled their cards.

Ricky Andino: K?Q?All in
Martin Alcaide: A?Q?

Andino would need a lot of help to stay alive, bu the runout of 6?8?3?9?10? failed to do so and he was sent to the payout desk in in fifth place.

After a preflop betting war, Martin Alcaide and Yujian Eugen Zhou got all of their chips into the middle, with Alcaide covering.

Yujian Eugen Zhou: J?10?All in
Martin Alcaide: A?A?

"That's his hand, he's won every all in with jack-ten," someone said from the rail, and the flop of 3?K?9? was a sweat as Zhou picked up a gutshot straight draw. Sure enough, he drilled the Q? right on the turn to give him the nut straight. Alcaide and the rest of the onlookers couldn't believe their eyes as he was left drawing dead. The board completed with the 5? and Zhou was pushed the massive pot to once again rocket to the top of the counts.

Brooks Floyd moved all in preflop and was called by Yujian Eugen Zhou to put him at risk of elimination.

Brooks Floyd: Q?J?All in
Yujian Eugen Zhou: A?6?

"Let's see some people!" Floyd's rail yells from behind him, and sure enough, a queen appears on the flop of Q?6?4? to put him in the lead. Zhou could still hit an ace or a six, but the runout of 5?3? does neither and Floyd is pushed the pot for the double.

Yujian Eugen Zhou moved all in preflop for 50,100,000, and Ricky Andino quickly called, but then Brooks Floyd shoved over the top for 120,000,000.

"I fold," Andino sighed as he tossed in his cards, and the other two players tabled their hands.

Yujian Eugen Zhou: J?10?All in
Brooks Floyd: A?K?

Zhou would need some help to stay alive, and he sure got it on the 9?J?6?J?5? as he made trip jacks to score the big triple-up.

Ricky Andino limped in from the cutoff, Brooks Floyd completed in the small blind and Joel Vanetten checked his option in the big blind.

The action checked to Vanetten, who bet out 7,000,000 on the A?2?8? flop. Andino called and Floyd tanked for some time before check-raising to 25,000,000. Vanetten and Andino both quickly folded; Andino mucked his A? face up as he did so.
