The pot had already to around 250,000 with two players looking at a full board of 7♥9♥4♣3♠3♣.
Vahan Toghanyan, in the cutoff, placed a bet large enough to put Kade all in for her remaining 4,000. Despite having committed almost her entire stack into the middle, Kade was forced into the tank as she waited for the remaining duo to complete their actions. Kade eventually made the call for her tournament life.
Vanessa Kade: K♠K♣ 
Vahan Toghanyan: A♥9♣
Kade was best and doubled up.

Yon Jairo Suaterna moved all in for 48,000 from the button and was looked up by Amy Leonard, in the big blind.
Yon Jairo Suaterna: A♥7♥
Amy Leonard: K♣J♦
Suaterna was ahead, but the Q♥9♠6♠ flop gave Leonard an additional gutshot straight draw. However, the 8♠ turn and A♠ river improved Suaterna to top pair, winning him this pot.

There has been a brief pause in play as the remaining tables get rebalanced.
Level 14
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Amber Sullivan limped in from the button, Jen-Yue Chiang, completed in the small blind, and the big blind checked their option.
The Q♥J♥7♥ flop saw the action check to Sullivan, who took the lead for 8,000. Only Chiang called.
The 3♠ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Sullivan sized up to 15,000.
The J♣ river saw Chiang play out of flow, leading for 8,000. Sullivan raised to 35,000 and Chiang made a reluctant call. Sullivan tabled A♥9♥ having flopped the nut flush, winning this pot.

Yannick Rene raised to 18,000 from under the gun, Jen-Yue Chiang called in the hijack, as did Elliot Hackney, in the big blind.
The A♥2♥3♣ flop saw Hackney and Rene slow down with a check. Chiang took the lead for 21,000, earning two quick folds.
As Chiang raked in the pot, he flashed A♠ to the table for at least top pair.
