Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Wayne Heung in the Super High Roller

Hirotaka Nakanishi had been all in for 37,500 and Mitsuhiro Shiga also jammed for more than that, while big stack Wayne Heung called to put two players at risk.

Hirotaka Nakanishi: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Mitsuhiro Shiga: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Wayne Heung: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The superior pocket pair held up on a board of {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades} to send two players to the rail.

One table over, Kenny Shih check-shoved into a bet of 20,000 by David Kwong Man on the {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop and was called.

David Kwong Man: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Kenny Shih: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Shih immediately improved with the {4-Clubs} turn and the {3-Hearts} river was a blank to see yet another player run out of chips.

Glasspool Doubles Through Yuan

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yilu Yuan and Robert Glasspool clashed with a coin flip for the tournament life of Glasspool.

Robert Glasspool: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Yilu Yuan: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop gave Glasspool a set, but he had to dodge hearts. Thanks to the {j-Diamonds} turn and {j-Clubs} river, he did and let out a relieved "normally I never dodge these."

Yuri Ishida was less fortunate and sent her stack over to Wayne Zhang.
