The field is down to 31 players left. After two 60-minute levels, they all are on a break for 15 minutes.
Everybody folded to Fabrice Bigot in the small blind, who decided to raise to 180,000, with only 30,000 chips remaining in his stack. In the big blind, Omar Lakhdari raised to 430,000 to force him to go all in.
As there was a pay jump, Bigot waited a few minutes to see if someone was out. But no one was eliminated by the time the break was called, so Bigot put his last chips in the middle.
Fabrice Bigot: A♠Q♠
Omar Lakhdari: K♠2♥
Bigot's hand held on the flop 10♣9♥8♣ and on the turn 6♦. However, the river 2♦ was terrible for him, as it gave a pair to Lakhdari.

Ren Lin moved all in from under the gun for about 350,000. Nozomu Shimizu reraised to 2,000,000 from the cutoff, committing about two thirds of his stack. Vitor Dzivielevski announced all in, covering both players. Shimizu made the call to put himself at risk and the three players went to the flop with nearly eight million chips in the middle.
Ren Lin: 3♣3♥
Nozomu Shimizu: 7♦7♠
Vitor Dzivielevski: Q♠Q♥
Dzivielevski had the best of it with the highest pocket pair. The flop came 4♥3♠4♠ to give Lin a flopped full house, but there was still a massive side pot to contend for between Shimizu and Dzivielevski, who had started the pot with approximately three million each.
"Seven!" Shimizu shouted as the rest of the board was dealt.
The turn came the K♣ and the river came the 8♥. Lin secured a triple up while Dzivielvski scooped the rest to take the chip lead as well as the biggest pot of the tournament so far, sending Shimizu to the rail in the process.

In the cutoff, Viktor Ustimov moved all in for 190,000 chips. Michael Colbert on the button folded, as well as the big blind. But Chuanshu Chen in the small blind called.
Viktor Ustimov: 6♦6♠
Chuanshu Chen: A♠2♠
No ace came on the board 5♦J♣8♦7♦J♠, and not enough spades to make a flush either, so the hand ended in a double up for Ustimov.

Danny Tang opened to 60,000 from the cutoff and Yunsheng Sun three-bet to 200,000. Tang four-bet to 480,000 and Sun immediately announced all in for about 1,600,000. Tang snap-called to put him at risk.
Yumsheng Sun: A♠K♣
Danny Tang: A♣A♥
Both players had a monster hand but Sun was in dire straits against Tang's aces. He only runner outs on the Q♥4♣9♥ flop and the 8♣ turn left him drawing dead. The river was an inconsequential 6♠ and Tang scooped in a pot worth nearly four million, taking the chip lead while Sun was sent to the rail.

From under the gun, William Stanford opened to 60,000. He was called only once by Kyle Julius in the cutoff.
On the flop 5♥4♠7♥, Stanford continued to 105,000, and he was called a second time by Julius.
Then, both players checked on the turn 10♣. But on the river 2♥, it was Julius who bet 185,000. Stanford quickly checked-called, showing 6♣6♠. Julius revealed an A♦ and a second card with the same suit, but didn't have any pair to beat Stanford.

On the latest PokerNews Podcast episode, Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen continue The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
They are joined by renowned Japanese vlogger Masato Yokosawa, AKA “World Wide Yokosawa.” While players in the United States might think folks like Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme has the biggest vlog followings in the world, that distinction actually belongs to Masato, who regularly clears 600K views on each of his vlogs!
The Japanese vlogging sensation opens up about his start in poker, what inspired him to start a vlog, and how he’s managed to turn it into a smashing success with the help of a creative team. He also talks about his desire to win a WSOP gold bracelet, how Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth are perceived in his home country, and what the future looks like for poker in Japan.
Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”
Ian Matakis opened to 55,000 from the button and received a call from Douglas Arauj Ferreira in the small blind.
The flop came 5♦3♥8♠. Ferreira checked, Matakis fired a continuation bet of 120,000 and Ferreira made the call.
Ferreira check-called another bet for 250,000 on the 10♦ turn, leading to the 10♣ river.
Ferreira stared at Matakis for about one minute on the river before checking and Matakis bet 620,000, leaving only a single big blind behind and sending Ferreira deep into the tank.
After about 90 seconds Ferreira, who was clearly put on a difficult decision, separated some calling chips from the rest of his stack and counted out what his stack would be if he called and was wrong, much like he did when faced with a similar decision the day before. After almost exactly three minutes Ferreira shook his head and stuck in the call.
Matakis showed down 10♠9♦ for trip tens and Ferreira mucked his cards while Matakis scooped in a full double up.
