Level 19 : Blinds 0/0, 60,000 ante

Short stack ninja Guang Hui Luo called all-in for 460,000 in the cutoff when Kobe pushed all-in. He didn't have aces this time but A♥K♠. Kobe's 9♣7♣ had equity but the Q♥Q♠J♣A♠7♠ board ensured yet another double for Luo.

There was then a large stack out in front of Da Seng Sun and Zong Tao jammed for 2,670,000, which Sun called.

Zong Tao: A♠K♥
Da Seng Sun: A♥Q♣

The A♦J♦J♠K♣8♦ runout put a bigger dent into Sun's stack, as he traded positions with Tao on the leaderboard.

A Chop and a Double

Level 19 : Blinds 0/0, 60,000 ante

Gavin from under the gun put Duan at risk when the latter had the last 410,000 in the middle from the next seat.

Duan's A♦Q♦ were ahead versus Q♥10♦ but had to settle for a chop on the J♥10♠9♥6♣8♥ runout.

At the same time, there was some confusion over on. table four as Da Seng Sun had opened to 435,000. Zong Tao was aiming to go all-in while Sun splashed a few chips into the middle and four players at the table then argued back and forth while explaining the situation to the floor.

It was ultimately ruled as just a call by Tao, who then called all-in when Sun shoved the Q♦Q♠6♠ flop.

Zong Tao: A♠J♦
Da Seng Sun: K♦10♥

The 8♦ turn and J♠ river changed nothing and Tao doubled for another 875,000.

Da Seng Sun	6,000,000 -800,000	-800,000
