After an open in middle position, the tournament's chipleader, Qiang Xu, just called on the button. In the small blind, Kou Vang moved all-in for 3,000,000. The initial raiser folded, but not Xu.
Kou Vang: A♥A♦
Qiang Xu: 7♦7♣
Xu is having a lucky day as he found another seven on the board J♦2♥7♠ to complete a set and crack the aces. After the turn 6♦ and the river 10♥, he took all of Vang's chips, climbing to 14,000,000.
Just after this hand, the table broke, and now there are four tables remaining.

After a middle position raise from Jacky Lee, Pat Lyons moved all in from the big blind for 3,500,000. Lee called and it was off to the flop.
Pat Lyons: A♦10♦
Jacky Lee: K♥Q♣
"How could you call with king high," asked the brash WSOP bracelet winner and WPT champion asked. "I'm the favorite to win this tournament, I'm not making a move."
The flop seemed to defer to Lyons' notoriety, giving him a ten, 3♥J♠10♠, and denying Lee a king or queen on a 6♣5♥ runout. Lyons doubled up to put him back in contention for an event he has declared he is going to win from the moment he sat down at a table.
