Big stack Ye Chen opens 32,000 from the cutoff and Zhang Jason defends his big blind to lay eyes on the flop K♥ 2♠ K♠ where Zhang donk-bets 45,000. Ye calls and the turn 8♥ has Zhang lead again for 60,000. Ye raises to 150,000, but Zhang is unimpressed and calls to see the river K♣ where both player slow down to check and Zhang Jason flips over the winner 3♦ 3♠ .

After just winning a juicy 300,000 pot the hand before, Sean Ooi is at it again with a raise to 24,000 from the button to take small blind Ye Chen to the flop T♣ 4♥ Q♠ . What follows are three barrels from Ooi and three check-calls for 40,000, 90,000 and 190,000 through the turn 4♣ and river 7♦ with the last one being a snap call by Ye Chen, who throws his hand in the muck after Sean Ooi flips over K♣ K♥ .

Looking at a complete board 6♦ 5♣ 9♥ J♦ 5♦ with 290,000 in the middle Ji Linrui mounts a big steal attempt for 180,000 holding 2♣ 7♦ in the small blind and sends big blind Ye Chen in the tank. After surrendering two time banks to the dealer, he finds the hero call with 6♣ 9♣ and scoops a sizable pot.

With an 85,000 pot and 8♦ T♥ 2♠ on the board hijack Ye Chen leads 35,000, Zheng Mingzhi check-raises to 75,000 which gets topped again to 135,000 by Ye, Zheng four-bet-jams 350,000 with mid set 8♥ 8♣ and Ye calls with Q♠ Q♣ being far behind. The dealer has Zheng Mingzhi sweat, tabling 9♣ and delivering a massive blow on the river J♦ for Ye Chen to hit a straight, sending Zheng Mingzhi to the rail.
