Philip Yeh moved all in from middle position before Isidoro Barrena did the same in the cutoff. The rest of the table folded and the cards were turned up.
Isidoro Barrena: A?J?
Philip Yeh: A?Q?
Both players had exactly 720,000 in their stack, and it was Barrena who lost on the Q?7?4?J?7? runout to finish in 24th spot.
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Eugenio Giordano had Zhang Gang all in and at risk.
Zhang Gang: K?J?
Eugenio Giordano: A?Q?
Gang pulled ahead on the 4?J?10? flop and remained in the lead on the 3? turn. The K? river, however, improved Giordano to a straight to send Gang out late in the day.
Action opened up after Allan Le 200,000. The player in the cutoff then three-bet to 600,000. Le then four-bet 1,065,000. His opponent tanked for a while until eventually finding the fold.
