Tzu Chieh Lo aka Bruno
Tzu Chieh Lo aka Bruno claimed a sizable pot against Devesh Thapar. Action preflop saw a hefty pot brewed in the middle. The flop ran 2♠ 9♥ 10♠. Bruno bet 125k and Thapar called. On the turn K♦ and river K♥, no bet s were fired and Bruno won with Q♠ Q♣ as Thapar mucked.
Le Duc Anh and Wong Choon Sung faced off with Anh opening with a 36k raise. Wong three-bet to 87k, and Anh called. At the flop 3♦ 3♠ 6♠, Anh checked to the aggressor Wong who took the change to shove his stack of roughly around 400k to put Ang at risk. Anh tanked for some time and eventually found the courage to call for his tournament life.
It was a good one with 10♦ 10♣ ahead of Wong’s A♦ Q♠. The turn 3♣ and river 7♠ kept Anh safe from elimination for a good double up.

Needing some luck from the poker gods, it came on the turn with the J♠ improving him to a set and victory was ensured with J♥ on the river for quads.
Short stacked Hung Nguyen was all in with K♠ J♠ and was looked up by Hai Chuot with A♠ 7♠. The board ran 9♣ J♥ 2♣ 5♠ 8♣ for a winning pair to avoid elimination.
