HomeAlex Ward has taken back the chip lead and now has a 3:1 chip advantage over Ji Young Kim. During the hand, Kim raised to 85k and Ward called. At the flop of Q♦ K♥ 2♥, Ward checked, Kim bet 105k, and Ward check-raised to 255k. Kim announced all in and Ward called for his tournament life. Kim had K♦ 3♥ for top pair but Ward had better K♣ 2♣ for two pair. The turn of 10♠ and river of J♥ were not the outs Kim needed and Ward doubled up to over 2.1M chips while Kim spiraled down to 700k.
单挑局逐渐进入焦灼状态，在Ji Young刚胜出不久，Alex便又重回领头羊的角色，此役Ji Young加注至八万五，Ward跟注，翻牌 Q♦ K♥ 2♥，Ward过牌，Ji Young下注105,000，Ward加注至255,000，Ji Young All In,Ward应声梭哈，Ji Young手牌 K♦ 3♥ ，Ward K♣ 2♣，转牌 10♠，河牌 J♥都没能帮到Ji Young,最终Alex以两对胜出，筹码增至逾两百一十万，而Ji Young仅剩七十万筹码。
