Nevan Chang opened from under the gun to 5,500 and Nang Nguyen called from early positon. Isaac Haxton took some time before raising to 38,000. Chang folded, but Nguyen peered at Haxton's remaining stack before making the call.

The Q 4 K flop saw both players check to see a 3 turn.

Haxton bet out 40,000 and Nguyen called.

Action slowed on the A river and both checked to showdown. Haxton turned over A K having made two pair, which was good enough to see Nguyen throw his cards into the muck.

Haxton sat back with just under starting stack, slowly rebuilding his chips.

Joseph Cheong and Gytis Lazauninkas were staring at a complete board of: J 3 9 2 3 beside a pot of around 60,000 and some.

Cheong checked his option over to Lazauninkas, who didn't shy away from betting 55,000.

Cheong tanked, threw in a time bank token, wondered about his options for a banging Korean barbecue, then counted off the chips to call.

Lazauninkas showed: K Q for mostly nothing while Cheong peeled open: K J for the winning pair of jacks.

A pot of 45,000 was in the middle with a complete board of: 4 6 4 8 K .

Both Manuel Fritz and Gytis Lazauninkas checked the river for a show-your-cards moment.

Fritz opened: A T but wasn't good enough against the: A Q of Lazauninkas, whose Queen kicker was the difference to scoop the pot.

A pot of 19,000 had been built between Chaoui Mehdi from early position, and Nang Quang Nguyen on the button.

Both checked the flop of: 5 Q 8 to open a 4 turn.

Once again, it went check-check to show a T on the river.

Mehdi checked and Nguyen tapped behind.

Mehdi declared, "I win!" and showed: J J .

Nguyen knocked "nice hand" and returned his cards face down to the dealer.

Action was between small blind Nang Quang Nguyen, and big blind Martin Sedlak, who had a pot of 16,000 in front of them with a flop that showed: 4 2 A .

Nguyen led out for 4,000 and Sedlak called to show a 4 on the turn.

Nguyen double-barreled for 20,000 and Sedlak waved the white flag.

Martin Finger

Martin Finger was all-in for this last 27,500 on a flop that showed: 7 3 6 with Joseph Cheong making the call.

Finger showed: A T for a nut flush draw against the: A 7 of Cheong, who made top-pair.

Dealer opened a 2 on the turn to give FInger the nut flush, making the 6 a mere formality on the river.

Action folded around to Fabian Gumz, who opened to 4,500 from the cutoff. Gumz saw two calls, from Chaoui Mehdi on the button and Ricky Huang in the big blind.

The: 8 J 2 flop was checked by Huang and Gumz. Mehdi bet 4,000 and only Huang stuck around.

Both players checked the A turn, taking them to the K river.

Huang bet out 32,000, prompting Mehdi to flick his hand into the muck.

In the middle of the next hand, Mehdi questioned Huang asking "If I bet 150% of the pot you fold?...On the turn?....Did you make two pair?."

Huang didn't offer a response but continued to build his growing chip stack.

Players take a short 15-minute break. The remaining 14 players will return to Level 4 (1,000/2,000) at 13:30 p.m. local time (KST).

Martin Sedlak

Small blind Martin Sedlak, and UTG Fabian Gumz, had 48,000 worth of chips scattered beside a full board that showed: J 2 2 7 3 .

Sedlak and Gumz decided on a check-check agreement on the river.

Sedlak opened: T T and it was good enough for Gumz to send back his cards to the muck.

Joshua McCully

Manuel Fritz opened the action by raising to 11,500 from under the gun. Action folded around to Joshua McCully in the big blind, who raised to 31,000. Fritz made the call and the players were taken to the: 7 5 J flop.

McCully bet out 33,000 and Fritz took some time before making the call.

The 8 turn saw McCully move his remaining ~130,000 stack into the middle and Fritz made another call, comfortably covering McCully.

McCully showed: A A and Fritz flipped over his pocket Kings: K K .

Fritz remained behind after the 6 fell on the river, and McCully took the pot.

McCully remarked, "That's Brutal."

Fritz responded with "I didn't hit the side bet and lost a big pot." He continued with, "I didn't even care about the Kings, just the club river."
