Players have been sent on another 15-minute break. When they return, they will play three more 45-minute levels before play concludes for the day.

Flight C is up to 247 entrants. Of those, 204 remain in the field.

Soichiro Maeda on the button opened to 1,600 and got both blinds to call - Daisuke Ariyama in small and Satoshi Okuda in the big blind.

The flop came T A J and Ariyama led out with 2,500 pushing his co-blind out of the way. Maeda, however, called.

Both players knuckled the J turn leading them to the Q river.

Ariyama check-called Maeda's overbet of 15,000, then tabled his A T for a flopped two-pair. He leaned back on his chair looking quite displeased to see he was beat by Maeda's rivered straight with A K .

Heads-up on a flop of 8 9 A , Jingwei Guo checked from the small blind and Hiroki Ishii bet 1,500 from under the gun. Guo then check-raised to 5,100 and Ishii called.

Guo checked again on the Q turn and Ishii retook the initiative with a bet of 10,500. Guo called.

The 4 completed the board and Guo checked a final time. Ishii moved all-in, sending Guo deep into the tank with a decision for his last 18,000.

After burning up a couple of time extensions, Guo laid his hand down and Ishii was awarded a nice pot.

Liqiang Gao

Liqiang Gao and Ohta Iori fattened the pot to 5,000 as they waited for the flop to be dealt. The dealer showed 8 Q K . Gao check-called Iori's 1,500 bet leading them to the turn.

Iori continued his aggression with 3,5000 on the Q turn after action passed to him. But Gao couldn't be shaken off and hung on.

Even a hefty bet of 12,000 from Iori on the river T couldn’t push Gao out of the pot. Visibly frustrated, Iori mucked his hand and Gao scooped the pot without having to show his hand.

Lifu Huang

Tomokatsu Kumano and Lifu Huang got into a preflop raising war that ended with Kumano all-in for a bit under 40,000 from the hijack against Huang, who had Kumano covered in the cutoff.

Tomokatsu Kumano: J J

Lifu Huang: A A

It was bad news for Kumano, as he found himself crushed against Huang's rockets.

The Q 8 5 6 A runout needlessly improved Huang to a set, and Kumano was sent to the rail.

Michel Molenaar

Action folded around to the blinds, where Takuto Akizuki moved all-in for his last 10,400 from the small blind. Feng Sun called in the big blind and hands were revealed.

Takuto Akizuki: K Q

Feng Sun: K T

Akizuki had Sun dominated, and the 4 A 5 3 J runout kept Akizuki best with his queen-kicker to earn the double-up.

Meanwhile, Michel Molenaar, who placed runner-up in the Super High Roller event yesterday, took his seat with a fresh stack of 40,000.

A pot of 5,000 was in the middle of the table while four players waited for the flop - Takayuki Togashi in the small blind, Yunpeng Bai in the big, Xiaoyang Qian under the gun and Xiaohuang Chen in middle position.

The dealer finally fanned out 3 2 9 . After checks from the blinds, Qian led with 2,400 and got only one caller - Togashi.

The 3 turn fell and Togashi hung on after a 12,500 bet from Qian. Action slowed down with a check-check when the 6 river fell.

Togashi showed A 4 for a busted straight draw. Qian had to remind the dealer that he flopped a pair with his A 9 when he seemed confused as to who won.

Hiroki Ishii

A three-way pot of around 14,000 was already built by Naoki Naganuma in middle position, Hiroki Ishii in hijack, and Non Sirijan on the button.

Naganuma check-folded the 3 3 J flop after Ishii fired 4,500 but Sirijan called.

The turn 2 fell and this time Ishii checked to Sirijan who fired 10,000, sending Ishii to the tank. After a few seconds, Ishii called to see the 7 river.

He led out with 1,500, which earned an all-in shove from Sirijan for 25,000. He mucked his hand and conceded the pot to his opponent.

Keishi Miyakawa opened to 1,200 from the hijack and was called by Woo Hyon Shin in the big blind.

Shin check-called a 1,500 bet from Miyakawa on the 3 9 5 flop and then check-raised all-in for 17,000 after facing a 4,000 barrel from Miyakawa on the J turn. Miyakawa quickly called and a showdown was held.

Woo Hyon Shin: T 5

Keishi Miyakawa: A J

Shin didn't believe Miyakawa and found himself drawing to five outs against top pair.

The Q river bricked out, and Miyakawa was sent the rest of Shin's chips.

Jun Il Hong

Kazushi Higashiura raised to 1,100 from early position and was called by Jun Il Hong in the hijack. Christian De Ocampo announced a three-bet to 3,500 on the button and both Higashiura and Hong called for an inflated three-way pot.

Action checked to De Ocampo, who continued for 6,000 on the 4 5 7 flop. Hong called and Higashiura got out of the way.

The 6 turn brought a four-liner to a straight on board and Hong announced he was all-in, sending De Ocampo into the tank.

De Ocampo eventually folded K K face up, and Hong collected the pot without showing.
