Max Deveson, also a regular on the South African poker circuit, is likewise no longer in contention. The Brit recalls his bustout hand in which pocket kings get cracked by the pocket tens of Zijing Zhan.

Hand #6: Marc Joseph Eliminated on the Bubble by Xin Yuan

Level 16: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Marc Joseph

Not long ago, Xin Yuan was down to only 80,000 - ten big blinds in this level. He open raises and earns two callers to then simply push all-in after the Q♦ T♠ 3♦ flop from an early position. Marc Joseph calls all-in for 226,000 in the cutoff and they have to wait for all other tables to finish.

Marc Joseph: A♠. Q♣

Xin Yuan: A♦ J♦

Joseph is ahead with top pair and top kicker but needs to dodge a lot of outs. One of them instantly comes with the T♦ turn to leave Joseph with two queens and two tens as only outs. The river is the A♣ and the bubble bursts.

Martin Sedlak

With three all-in showdowns on the stone-cold money bubble, Martin Sedlak is all-in for 255,000 and looked up by Yoon Kang. Their table is the last to run with one elimination and one double prior.

Sedlak has the best of it with A♦ A♠ versus Q♥ Q♣ and seemingly locks up the double on the A♥ J♠ 7♦ flop. The T♠ turn gives Kang four outs but the 6♦ river keeps the field at 95 hopefuls.

Dylan DeStefano Double Leaves Yunsheng Sun on Fumes

Level 15: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Dylan DeStefano

There is some uproar on table nine as a large pot unfolds between Yunsheng Sun and Dylan DeStefano. With some 175,000 in the middle to the Q♦ 8♣ 6♣ flop, DeStefano is all-in and at risk for 278,000 with the K♣ K♦ .

Sun has him barely covered and reveals the A♣ J♣ for the nut flush. Instead, Sun spikes the A♦ on the turn to take the lead and leave DeStefano on the verge of elimination very close to the money bubble.

One more twist to the story is to follow, as the river brings the K♥ and that is also the reason for the uproar.

Artem "veeea" Vezhenkov arrives at his new table with two racks and a stack worth nearly seven figures. Paul Hoefer then raises to 10,000 only for Vezhenkov to three-bet big to 40,000. The four-bet shove by Hoefer follows and Vezhenkov calls with the A♠ Q♠ .

Hoefer is in trouble with A♥ J♥ but improves on every street equity wise on the Q♥ T♠ 4♥ K♣ 8♥ runout. The double is for 247,500 and that puts quite a dent into Vezhenkov's stack.

"Of course I know who he is, otherwise I would not have done it," Hoefer clarifies.

Nopparut Piyatassakorn Eliminated by Aditya Agarwal

Level 13: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

Aditya Agarwal smirks when he rakes in the pot while a disappointed Nopparut Piyatassakorn grabs his phone to take a picture of the bead he suffers before leaving the tournament area.

Short stack Piyatassakorn is all-in preflop with the A♣ Q♦ and ahead versus A♥ J♥ . The Thai player pairs his queen on the K♦ Q♣ T♦ flop, yet needs a jack or runner-runner to escape. Some hope comes with the K♠ turn but the 2♣ river is a blank.
