Gab Yong Kim raised to 65,000 under the gun with 8?7?6?5? and Dario Alioto called in the hijack.
The flop came 9?A?10? and Kim continued for 115,000. Alioto called and the 5? fell on the turn.
Kim then bet his straight draw for another 400,000 and Alioto tanked for more than a minute before laying down J?J?9?8?.

Hokyiu Lee raised to 60,000 under the gun and Zhengfa Ye called in early position. Namhyung Kim then three-bet to 285,000 on the button and Lee put in a four-bet to 675,000.
Ye got out of the way, but Kim agonized over the decision for several minutes before sticking in his last 390,000.
Namhyung Kim: A?K?K?10?
Hokyiu Lee: A?A?9?6?
Lee had picked up aces again and Kim found no improvement on the 8?9?7? flop. The 2? turn left him looking only for one of the last two kings in the deck, but the river 4? was harmless for Lee as he sent Kim to the rail in eighth place.

Guy Goossens raised to 90,000 in the hijack, then called when small blind Gab Yong Kim three-bet to 300,000.
Goossens only had 60,000 behind heading to the 4?9?6? flop and got the rest of his chips in the middle.
Guy Goossens: A?K?K?7?
Gab Yong Kim: A?A?J?10?
Goossens had run into aces again, but he wouldn't have as much luck this time as the board ran out 7?4? to send him to the rail in ninth place.

Action folded to Hokyiu Lee on the button who raised to 105,000. Guy Goossens called in the small blind, leaving just 45,000 behind.
The flop came 9?4?10? and Lee put Goossens all in, and Goossens committed his last chips.
Guy Goossens: A?10?9?5?
Hokyiu Lee: A?A?8?5?
Lee had two aces, but Goossens had outflopped him with top two pair. The 5? fell on the turn, followed by the Q? river as Goossens stayed alive.

Namhyung Kim opened to 75,000 in the hijack, Hokyiu Lee potted to 255,000 in the small blind, and Kim called.
The flop was 9?6?7? and Lee moved all in for 290,000. Kim confirmed the amount before calling with a covering stack.
Hokyiu Lee: A?A?K?10?
Namhyung Kim: K?Q?10?6?
Lee showed down aces, while Kim had a pair and straight draw. The A? fell on the turn and Lee improved to top set, but Kim also picked up a flush draw.
The K? river was safe for Lee and he doubled up.

Just before the blinds went up, Pavel Izotov raised the pot to 85,000 from under the gun. Barny Boatman called from one seat over and so did Gab Yong Kim in the big blind.
The flop came 10?9?2? and it checked to Boatman, who bet the pot for 290,000 with 270,000 behind. Kim carefully studied his stack and folded, Izotov also folded.
The blinds went up in the next hand and Izotov was forced all-in from the big blind.
Boatman limped in and Namhyung Kim potted, forcing out Boatman.
Pavel Izotov: 9?5?3?3?
Namhyung Kim: A?A?K?2?
"Fair enough," Boatman grinned when he saw Kim's hand before adding "you are in trouble now, I had a king".
Izotov failed to connect with the Q?Q?2?K?2? board and hit the rail in 10th place.
All remaining nine players are on a short break ahead of the redraw for the unofficial final table.
