Hyukjin Kwon has become the undisputed largest stack on his table and took on Dongwoon Lee, the latter of which put up resistance from the small blind. With the turn showing K♦ 7♥ 5♦ 7♦ , Lee bet 35,000 and Kwon's shot clock ran down to zero before he opted to fold.

On a three-way flop of K♣ 3♠ 2♥ , Youngjong Lee checked and so did Dongwoon Lee. Yoonwoo Jang bet 2,500 and the first Lee was the only caller. The Q♣ turn was checked and Lee bet the T♦ river for 6,500. Jang called but mucked after being shown Q♠ 5♦ for a turned pair of queens.

The field has been whittled down to just 21 hopefuls, essentially meaning that half of them will advance with one exception. Yuri Murikami and Jun Young Lee have been eliminated while Alan Lau increased his stack in a heads-up pot versus Dongwoon Lee when his pocket jacks prevailed versus Q♠ T♣ on an ace-king high board.

By the time the live reporting team arrived, Jangseok Moon was already all-in for 20,000 with the K♠ 9♠ for a flopped top pair on K♥ Q♠ 3♥ . However, he was in dire shape as Dongwoon Lee had that crushed holding the A♣ A♦ . There was no upset on the 6♦ turn and 6♥ river, sending Moon to the rail before the dinner break.
