Level 21
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Mic won the last hand of the previous level with a raise to 250,000 before the blinds went up. He then bet the 7♦6♣4♣2♠J♦ river for 225,000 in the new level and Jhon Tanaka tank-folded.
Chip leader Yao Xiao then defended the big blind against a raise to 325,000 by Xia Feng. He checked the A♥A♠6♠ flop before calling a bet worth 200,000. They checked the K♠ turn and Xiao bet the 7♥ river for 500,000. Feng used one time bank and folded.

Ken Lin Eliminated in 5th Place ($26,000)
Level 20
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Ken Lin had most of his chips in the middle preflop and the rest went in after the A♦J♣3♠ flop. The red-hot running Yao Xiao had an easy call with A♣4♣ and Lin was in trouble holding the K♥9♦.
A glimmer of hope came with the Q♣ turn but the 4♠ river was a blank, sending Lin out next in fifth place for $26,000.
