Mustapha Kanit arrived for the day in a very colorful shirt, but it didn't bring him any luck. The Italian was never able to spin up the stack and then three-bet shoved for just 88,000 out of the cutoff. Initial raiser Dan Cates, who had raised to 20,000 from under the gun, glanced up to the other side of the table while enjoying a massage, asked for the count.
After being called, Kanit turned over his cards and Cates asked "is that kings?" when he could barely spot the cards. Kanit only had 
though. "Oh, king jack, I am ahead then," Cates added and rolled over his 
.
The board came 
and Kanit headed to the rail.

Within quick succession, both Phil Ivey and Pratyush Buddiga doubled up over on table three.
Ivey got his stack of 196,000 in preflop in a battle of the blinds with Erik Seidel.
Phil Ivey: 
Erik Seidel: 
The board ran out 
and Ivey rivered a nine to stay in.
Soon after, Buddiga and Jack Salter were at it preflop, and it was a flip for Buddiga's tournament life and the remaining 279,000 chips.
Pratyush Buddiga: 
Jack Salter: 
The flop came and Salter asked for spades. That hope was already destroyed on the turn, and Salter needed one of the remaining two nines in the deck in order to avoid a setback. It was the that fell on the river and Salter's stack was halved.

Hand 1
Elton Tsang opened to 22,000 from the hijack and Daniel Colman called on the button. The flop came 
and Tsang checked, Colman bet 24,000 and Tsang called. After the turn, Tsang repeated the same action with a check-call for 55,000 before checking the 
river.
Winfred Yu had arrived to film the action on his phone via Facebook Live, and Mustapha Kanit was doing the commentary. Tsang then faced a bet worth 80,000 by Colman, before check-raising to 250,000. Colman was sent into the think tank and the clock was called. The minute ran down without any action, and Yu joked "show the bluff for the camera" to Tsang.
Tsang obliged and flipped over the . "Queen is good, right? Ace queen is the nuts there," he added.
Hand 2
Colman raised to 23,000 in the cutoff and Rainer Kempe shoved the small blind for around 120,000. Colman quickly called and put the German at risk, after he had done so a few days ago on the final table of the 6-Max Event as well.
Rainer Kempe:
Daniel Colman:
The board came 
and Kempe was gone.

Winfred Yu walked over into the tournament area to see what was going on and chatted with Mustapha Kanit. The Italian had just forfeited his big blind to a raise of Wai Kin Yong, and said "I am just chilling. But I need some help, a double." Yu asked who he wanted to double against and Kanit replied "maybe from Wai Kin, and from Jungle (Dan Cates), but not from him," pointing at Yu Liang in one seat over.
"Please translate for him," Kanit said to Yu, who then translated for Liang. What followed was a smile by the Chinese and the next hand saw Yong raise it up to 22,000. Liang three-bet out of the big blind and scooped the pot.
