Three tables left with two of them bagging up. The final hand running saw a 13k raise by utg Kensuke Koizumi, called by three players. At the flop 2♦ 6♦ Q♥, two checks then u+1 Vincent Chauve bet 26k, no callers. Chauve showed A-10.
Laksh Pal Singh and Dhaval Mudgal tangled multiple times. Their last encounter saw utg Singh raise to 13k, button Mudgal called. At the flop Q♥ 4♠ 8♥, both checked. On the turn 2♣, Singh bet 29k and was called. On the 8♦ river, another 35k fired by Singh, Mudgal called. Singh opened K♥ K♣, Mudgal mucked.
Sahil Chutani lost a majority of his stack to Vincent Chauve when his A-K failed against Q-Q. Moved to a new table, Chutani was all in again with A♣ K♠ and Jerome Bradpiece called with 3♥ 3♣. No help came for Chutani, he was eliminated. Bradpiece up to 417k.
We didn’t catch the action in this hand but from what we saw, the board completed K♦ 7♠ 3♥ 7♥ A♥. Big blind Choi Eng Loong busted with 8♠ 7♣ to utg Tan Nguyen’s K♥ 9♥ flush. Nguyen up to 340k.

Chauve Q♦ Q♦
The board ran J♣ 2♥ 5♦ Q♣ 6♦ for a double up to Chauve to 702k. Chutani chunked to 57k.
Tu Le
Reminiscent of the Main Event bust, Mahave Gupta nosedived out of the running. From hijack, Gupta raised to 14k, button Tu Le three-bet to 444k, Gupta jammed, called by Tu Le.
