Quan Zhou: A♣Q♥
The board ran out J♥J♠8♠9♣8♣ and Duan doubled, prompting his subtle "thank you" with a big smile on the face.

At the same time on neighbouring tables, two short stacks earned double-ups.
Dan Cates was all-in for slightly more than 20 antes with the Q♦J♠ and at risk against Esti Wang with the K♥Q♥. The board came K♦J♦8♠J♥7♥ and Cates made trips jacks.
Guang Hui Luo jammed in the cutoff for 255,000 with the Q♣10♣ and big stack Kobe called in the big blind with the A♦9♥. Luo nailed the K♣Q♥J♣7♦6♠ runout to survive, too.

Over on table four, Feng pushed all-in for around 750,000 and Ke Xu did so from the cutoff with the covering stack to isolate.
Feng: 10♠10♦
Ke Xu: A♥K♠
The flip went to Xu on a board of K♣J♣9♠J♦A♠ and that reduced the field to the final 16 hopefuls with the top 12 spots paid.

The two chip leaders Da Seng Sun and Kobe have been open-shoving a lot to increase their stack sizes.
Quan Zhou did it the old-fashioned way with poker on all streets when he bet the Q♦8♣6♣A♥ turn for 325,000 and Fei Xu called. Zhou jammed the 9♦ river and Xu folded.

Dan Cates started the day with a full entry and add-on for two times the starting stack and he lost a chunk of that.
Ultimately, however, Cates earned a double off Gavin when he raised a three-way turn of 9♦8♥8♠7♠ from 50,000 to 200,000. Only Gavin called and reluctantly paid off the shove for 370,000 on the 7♣ river. Cates showed 10♥6♠ for a straight and that was good enough.

Over on table five, the flop showed A♠J♦7♣ and Chao Hu bet 55,000 for Kenneth Kee to call. Hu checked the 6♠ turn and called a bet of 175,000 by Kee after using one time bank.
That led them to the K♥ river on which Hu checked again. Kee bet 800,000 and Hu went deep into the tank. After using four time bank extensions, Aori offered him to use his time banks as well. One more time bank vanished and Hu then folded.
