Right after the elimination of Paul Phua on the feature table, Isaac Haxton moved all in from the small blind for effectively 70,000, as that's what Koray Aldemir had left in the big blind. Aldemir looked at his cards and called instantly.
Koray Aldemir:
Isaac Haxton:
The flop improved Haxton to a pair of sevens, and the turn and river failed to improve the last German in the field to reduce the field to the last seven. They will now take a short break and redraw to the unofficial final table of the last seven, who will then continue on the money bubble.

A short-stacked Paul Phua moved all-in for 22,500 (just under five big blinds) from the cutoff and small blind Richard Yong moved all-in for 177,000 to isolate.
The flop was not a good one for Phua, giving Yong top set. The turn gave Phua a backdoor diamond draw, increasing his equity in the hand, but the river dashed these hopes and gave Yong quads. Yong climbed to 207,000 while Phua hit the rail, bringing the field down to eight.

Over on the outer table, Cheong Cheok Leng defended his big blind against a raise to 10,000 by Stephen Chidwick in the under-the-gun position and both players invested another 10,000 each on the flop. On the turn both players checked and Leng's shove for 34,500 on the river won the pot uncontested.

Over on the outer table, Stephen Chidwick open-shoved from the small blind into the big blind of Isaac Haxton for the second orbit in a row, however, this time he was called by Haxton for the last 20 big blinds.
Isaac Haxton:
Stephen Chidwick:
The flop gave Haxton trips jacks, and the turn locked up the double, which made the river a formality.
