The night ended after a pair of eliminations. First, in Level 28 (75,000/125,000/125,000), Naing Thu raised to 250,000 from the button only to have Weng three-bet to 875,000 from the small blind. Natasha Mercier then four-bet jam for 1,825,000 from the big, Thu folded, and Weng called.

Natasha Mercier: 4?4?
Bin Weng: A?6?

It was a flop and Mercier held on the K?K?3? flop. Unfortunately for her, the A? appeared on the turn to give Weng the lead. The {Kh| river was no help to Mercier and the last woman in the field took her leave from the tournament.

Not long after in Level 29 (75,000/150,000/150,000), Clemen Deng raised to 375,000 under the gun and Alex Jim responded by moving all in for 1.075 million from the big blind. Deng called with the J?9? and was looking to get there against the A?5? of Jim.

The Q?5?3? flop didn��t do it, and neither did the Q? turn. However, the J? was just what Deng needed to drive a dagger through Jim��s heart and to put an end to the night.

The remaining 16 players are guaranteed $56,800 in prize money, though all are hoping to make their way to the final table where at least six-figure paydays await. Here��s a look at the payouts for the final nine:
