Stay tuned for the recap.
Dao Minh Phu and Lakshpal Singh got involved in a hand that saw the pot grow to 56k. On a board 2♦ 8♥ 5♣ Q♠, Phu fired 24k, and Singh folded. Phu showed Singh one card to let him know he wasn’t bluffing. After the hand, Phu told Singh “I don’t bluff. Believe me not him (points towards a fellow Vietnamese player), he is my competition. You believe me. Not him.” Singh responded while laughing “yes, I believe you that’s why I fold to you.”
Ankit Jajodia scored himself another pot to send his stack soaring to around 900k. This put him head to head for the chip lead with Dao Minh Phu. During the hand, utg player raised to 10k, Jajodia called from the button. At the flop A♠ 2♠ 9♠, utg c-bet 10k, Jajodia flat-called. On the turn K♣, utg checked, Jajodia bet 25k and got the call to head to the river 6♥. Utg bet 60k, Jajodia jammed, utg called with his remaining 90k stack. Jajodia had K♠ Q♠ nut flush, utg busted with A♥ K♦.
Ankit Jajodia has been steadily rising throughout the day and now sits with around 650k. The most recent hand that helped him get there was against Slade Fisher. On a board 7♥ 4♦ 4♥ 6♠ 8♠, Fisher fired 75k onto a pot of around 225k. Jajodia called, Fisher opened the Q♥ J♥ bluff, Jajodia shipped it with 9♦ 8♥. Fisher dropped to 160k.
Lakshpal Singh rails Tran Van Thinh to chip up to 170k. It was all in at the flop A♦ K♥ Q♦ with Tran ahead A♠ 3♥ of Singh’s J♥ J♠. The turn 7♥ was good for Tran but when the river spiked 10♠, it was a straight for Singh and the exit for Tran.
With around 95k in the middle and board completing 9♠ 8♠ J♥ 10♥ Q♣, utg Minh A Nguyen bet 40k sending Dang Thanh Luong tanking. After a minute or so, Luong folded. Nguyen showed Q♦ while scooping up the pot. He chipped up to 300k, Luong dropped to 280k.

From utg, Dinh Quang Huy raised to 6500, action folded to the small blind Choi Jun Ming who three-bet to 22.5k. Back to Huy who shoved, Ming called to put Huy at risk.
Huy A♣ A♠
