Yang Zhang opened to 165,000 from under the gun and Matthew McEwan called from the cutoff. Jake Schwartz also called from the big blind.

On the 104Q flop, Schwartz checked, Zhang bet 150,000, McEwan called, Schwartz shoved for 745,000, Zhang folded, and McEwan called.

Jake Schwartz: 107 All in
Matthew McEwan: KQ

Schwartz had a pair and a flush draw but wouldn't have liked seeing the 4 turn, which removed some of his outs.

No help arrived on the 5 river which meant Schwartz was eliminated in 14th.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Xuming Qi

Action was picked up on the flop, heads up with 300,000 in the pot and a board showing 572.

Xuming Qi checked from the big blind to Mostafa Haidary in middle position, who bet 100,000. Qi then raised all in for 750,000. Haidary quickly made the call, putting Qi at risk.

Xuming Qi: 54 All in
Mostafa Haidary: A10

Qi was thrilled to see his pair of fives were ahead, but he would have to fade two overcards and the flush draw for Haidary.

Unfortunately for Qi he was left drawing dead after the K on the turn gave Haidary the nut flush, and the 8 on the river officially eliminated Qi in 16th place.

Nenad Dukic Eliminated in 17th Place ($35,671)

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Nenad Dukic
Nenad Dukic

Brandon Schwartz made it 150,000 preflop, Nenad Dukic three-bet to 400,000 from the small blind. Schwartz looked at how much Dukic had behind before announcing all in and Dukic quickly called.

Nenad Dukic: AK All in
Brandon Schwartz: QQ

It was the classic flip as the flop came 829. The turn was the 7 to provide Dukic with several more outs but the river came the 7 to miss Dukic and he was sent away in surprisingly quick fashion considering his big stack not long ago as he left for payouts while cursing under his breath. Schwartz meanwhile has emerged as the overwhelming chip leader.

Georgios Sotiropoulos: Q7 All in
Yang Zhang: Q2

Zhang's Aces Finish Sued

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Yang Zhang opened to 85,000 from the hijack, and when it folded to the big blind Kharlin Sued, he three-bet all in. Zhang snap-called, putting Sued at risk.

Kharlin Sued: 55 All in
Yang Zhang: AA

Sued ran into the aces of Zhang and would need help to stay alive. The flop came 736 giving Sued three extra outs with a non-heart four. But when the board ran out Q on the turn, and 3 on the river, Sued was eliminated as Zhang's aces were still best.
