After a limp from the player in middle position and the hijack, Fabian Rolli wanted to play for more as he raised to 18,000 from the cutoff. Junqiang Lyu reraised all in for 81,500 from the cutoff and Rolli made the call.
Junqiang Lyu: A♠A♣ 
Fabian Rolli: A♦K♠
Two monsters right next to each other, the dealer put out a safe 7♣2♠10♠9♥8♦ board and Lyu found the dream spot to double up and gain new life in the tournament.
Kevin Javier started the action with a raise to 5,000 from early position. Maxime Parys, seated next to him, three-bet to 15,000, with Adin Aragon in the cutoff calling along with Javier.
On the 6♦2♠5♠ flop, Javier checked to Parys, who bet 21,000, only to be called by Aragon.
The A♥ on the turn prompted Parys to bet 38,000. Aragon carefully counted his stack multiple times, glanced at Parys, then went all in. Parys quickly called.
Maxime Parys: A♠K♠
Adin Aragon: A♠Q♦
Parys held the advantage, and the 3♦ on the river confirmed his double-up.
Action was joined on the river with a large pot of at least 210,000 piled in the middle. The board read 8♠A♥2♣K♠7♥. It had been a three-bet pot as Daniel Hachem three-bet out of the big blind over the button raise from Xuejun Huang.
Hachem led-jammed the river for his remaining 75,000. Huang went deep into the tank and took close to three minutes before he eventually folded and Hachem gathered in the big pot for his stack.
Stephen Gerber bet 7,500 on a flop of 9♥2♦8♥ and was raised to 21,000 by Simon Britton. Gerber then pushed all in with the covering stack and Britton called off his final chips.
Simon Britton: K♥Q♥
Stephen Gerber: 8♠8♣
The 9♠ turn gave Gerber a full house to leave Britton drawing dead, and the latter took his leave as the 4♥ river added some salt to the wound.
Players in the field have been sent on their first 20-minute break of the day.
