Noah Boeken initiated the action with a raise to 16,000 from the hijack. Mengshi Tian responded by going all in, prompting Kalidou Sow to request a chip count before also pushing all in. Boeken, no longer interested in participating, folded.
Mengshi Tian: A♣K♦
Kalidou Sow: A♥J♦
Both players landed an ace on the A♦6♦7♠8♦6♥ board, but Tian's kicker prevailed. He doubled up, while Sow lost a significant amount of his stack.

Georgi Sandev was already all in on the button and at risk against two opponents when the dealer flipped over the turn card of the 3♣Q♠7♥K♠ board.
With a significant side pot already built, Romain Lewis called a bet of 55,000 from Julien Sitbon to see the 5♦ river.
Lewis checked to Sitbon, who took a moment before checking back and all three hands were tabled.
Sandev showed A♥10♣ for ace-high, while Lewis revealed Q♣Q♦ for a set of queens. Sitbon avoided losing more chips, as he showed 6♠6♥ for a pair. Sandev wished everyone good luck on his way to the payout desk, while Lewis raked in a big pot.
Action was picked up on the flop of 5♣A♦4♦. Most of Leonard Maue's chips were in the middle already and Kalidou Sow was asking for the rest of them. The clock was called on Maue and as soon as a member of the floor appeared he put in his last chips with a flush draw and gutshot.
Leonard Maue: 9♦3♦
Kalidou Sow: A♠9♠
Sow held across the 10♠ turn and 3♠ river to scoop Maue's stack and his bounty token.
Action folded around to Jose Nadal who opened to 17,000 from the button. Nicola Grieco then raised to 47,000 out of the small blind.
Nadal, after a moment of thought, moved all in for 248,000. Grieco went into the tank before finding the fold.
Nível: 19
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
The pot had swelled to around 210,000 on the 7♣10♣4♥9♠Kx board when PokerNews began covering the action. Alex Kulev, with over 200,000 chips left, decided to go all in, which was promptly called by Jack Corrigan. Kulev revealed 9♥8♣, while Corrigan showed A♠A♣. Unfortunately for Kulev, Corrigan doubled up, leaving Kulev with only 60,000 remaining.
A few hands later, Kulev found himself all in again, this time against Michael Gathy, who had opened from under the gun.
Alex Kulev: 2♣2♠
Michael Gathy: A♥K♠
The board revealed 8♥9♠K♦5♦6♦, giving Gathy a pair of kings and marking the end of Kulev's run in the tournament.
Action was picked up with all in and call announced. Bartolomeo Tato was all in from early position, Carlos Ribeiro from the button and Sonny Franco called, covering both players.
Bartolomeo Tato: K♥Q♥
Carlos Ribeiro: 7♠7♥
Sonny Franco: A♦K♠
Franco improved to top pair and secured two bounty tokens on the 9♠Q♠A♣5♠4♥ board.
