Ante: 30,000
The final six players are taking another short break.
Adil Morkos opened to 50,000 from the hijack and Renmei Liu defended from the big blind.
The flop came J?4?3?. Liu checked, Morkos bet 70,000, Liu check-raised to 175,000 and Morkos called.
Liu moved all in for roughly 475,000 on the 2? turn and Morkos snap-called to put him at risk.
Renmei Liu: 10?6?
Adil Morkos: A?7?
Liu had picked the wrong time to bluff and was drawing dead against Morkos who had turned the nut-flush. Liu made his exit from the tournament area as the inconsequential 2? was dealt while Morkos extended his chip lead over the rest of the field.

Wenping Chen: K?J?
Adil Morkos: A?J?
Chen was in rough shape with a weaker jack and couldn't catch up on the 9?Q?4?5?Q? river resulting in his elimination in eighth place.

Kyle Yun-Wing Ho: A?J?
Renmei Liu: A?Q?
Ho was pipped and couldn't catch up on the K?K?5?3?5? runout, resulting in his elimination in eighth place while Liu collected the last of his chips.

Stephane Blouin-Verroeulst opened to 40,000 from under the gun only for Jaime Staples to move all in for 190,000 from the button. Kyle Yun-Wing Ho four-bet shoved for roughly 850,000 and Francois Billard called off with his stack of roughly 600,000. Blouin-Verroeulst got out of the way leaving both Staples and Billard at risk against Ho.
Jaime Staples: A?K?
Francois Billard: Q?Q?
Kyle Yun-Wing Ho: A?K?
Billard was in a great spot to nearly triple up with pocket queens against two opponents with ace-king until the 2?10?A? flop gave both Ho and Staples top pair. The 8? turn changed nothing but the Q? river gave Billard a set of queens to send Staples to the rail and take down a gargantuan pot while Ho was left with a little over ten big blinds.
