George Tomescu opened from under the gun and he was only called by Haiyang Yang in the big blind.

Tomescu continued for 325,000 on a flop of 6♦3♥5♦, and Yang check-called. But after Tomescu fired a second barrel of 875,000 on the 8♠ turn, Yang check-raised to 5,300,000.

It didn't take long for Tomescu to fold. Yang only revealed the 7♦.

Nick Maimone opened to 400,000 from under the gun, then Guofeng Wang on the button decided to go all in with the biggest stack of the table. Evan Benton shoved as well for approximately 750,000, and Maimone snap-called.

Nick Maimone: K♠K♦ All in
Guofeng Wang: K♥J♠

Maimone was on his way to take a massive pot, but after the 6♦7♥4♠ flop, Benton hit the A♦ turn to triple up after the 9♥ river. Maimone still won the side pot.

Kai Cocklin

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Jason Corbett shoved all in for 1,275,000 and Haiyang Yang made the call.

Jason Corbett: 4♠4♣ All in
Haiyang Yang: A♣3♣

"Please hold!" said Corbett.

That hold didn't look likely as Yang paired his ace on the A♠2♠K♥ flop.

A 5♥ turn meant Corbett could no longer hit a four, but he didn't seem to realize that as the 4♦ fell on the river which made him celebrate. It took around 20 seconds for Corbett to finally see that Yang had hit a straight, then he vacated the tournament area.
