The action kicked off with a raise to 30,000 on the button by Martin Kabrhel. Benjamin Williams then three-bet to 90,000 from the big blind, which Kabrhel snap-called.
Williams continued with a bet of 60,000 on the A♣Q♥8♥ flop, and Kabrhel called again.
The 3♠ turn did nothing to slow down Williams, who continued for 160,000. Kabrhel slid his cards back to the dealer, still chatting away to Williams.
Kabrhel was then silenced when Williams flipped over J♦9♦, showing a jack-high bluff. The rest of the table showed their appreciation, with a few players high-fiving Williams in celebration of the moment.
The chips were in the middle preflop as the blinds duked it out when Ryuta Nakai was at risk out of the small blind, and Anatoly Nikitin had him covered in the big blind.
Ryuta Nakai: A♦K♦
Anatoly Nikitin: J♦J♣
Nakai failed to improve on the 9♠3♦3♠5♥7♣ runout to be eliminated from contention.

Chenxiang Miao: A♦J♦

A three-way pot worth 80,000 was sitting beside a 10♥6♠8♠ flop. Small blind Ryuta Nakai in the small blind and Charles Alex-Barton in middle position checked the action to Clemen Deng who bet 20,000.
Nakai called but Alex-Barton raised to 125,000. Deng surrendered his hand but Nakai, after a few seconds of thought, announced all-in for 850,000.
It was Alex-Barton's turn to tank, but then jammed a stack of his chips for a call, putting himself at risk.
Charles Alex-Barton: A♦10♦
Ryuta Nakai: 10♣2♦
Alex-Barton outkicked Nakai. The A♠ turn cemented Alex-Barton's lead with a two-pair making the 6♣ river a formality.
Martin Kabrhel raised to 30,000 from early position and Tyler Cornell jammed for 255,000 from the cutoff. Kabrhel called when the action got back to him.
Tyler Cornell : A♣10♠
Martin Kabrhel: A♦J♦
Kabrhel had Cornell dominated heading to the 8♣5♥5♣ flop, which offered Cornell some chop opportunities.
The Q♥ turn and 9♣ river kept Kabrhel's ace-jack high ahead and he sent Cornell to the rail.
