Nathan Pringle open-jammed from under the gun for 720,000 and was looked up by Xiupu Li in the next seat. The rest of the table folded quicker than a seagull stealing chips.
Nathan Pringle: 9♦9♠ 
Xiupu Li: 10♥10♠
Just the flop Pringle ordered, 9♥Q♥Q♣, sent him into the lead. The 7♣ turn changed nothing, but when the Q♠ peeled off on the river and gave Li a better full house, Pringle was sent to the rail in a brutal fashion.

Play was already underway between the small blind, Jiacheng Zhu, and big blind, Travis Tate, with their chips and their cards in the middle of the table.
Jiacheng Zhu: K♠8♥
Travis Tate: K♦9♦
Tate was ahead with the superior king-high on the 10♦2♦3♣ flop. He also had a chance to improve his hand further with a flush draw.
It was looking grim for Zhu as the turn fell 7♣. But he avoided elimination when he hit the river 8♣ to make a pair.
Travis Tate open-shoved in the hijack for 795,000 and was called by Stanley Lee in the small blind, who covered.
Travis Tate: K♦Q♣
Stanley Lee: A♦9♦
The flop came 10♣10♥2♣ with Lee's ace-high still in the lead. The 4♦ turn and 5♦ river offered no help to Tate, and he was sent to the rail.
Jack Nathan under the gun open-shoved for 1,115,000 and Brian Richardson, on his left, called with his remaining 200,000. After action folded around, the two players went into showdown.
Brian Richardson: A♠8♣
Jack Nathan: 10♦10♥
Richardson started chanting, "Just one time, Just one time, please." But got on his feet ready to leave the moment the 5♦K♥9♥ flop dropped.
The dealer continued with the 2♦ turn and Q♦ river, eliminating Richardson.
Robert Stull open-shoved in the cutoff for 865,000 and was called by Chongxian Yang on the button, who covered.
Robert Stull: A♠K♦
Chongxian Yang: A♣J♣
The flop came 6♥9♦A♦, with Stull's king kicker in play. The turn landed the 3♠, and the river fell the Q♠, earning him the double-up.
Jeffrey Thoney moved all in on the button for 520,000 and Jiacheng Zhu reshoved in the small blind to isolate.
Jeffrey Thoney: A♠9♠
Jiacheng Zhu: A♦Q♣
Thoney pulled ahead on the 9♣9♦7♠ flop, improving to trip nines. Zhu found a glimmer of hope on the Q♥ turn, but the 6♠ river saw the pot being pushed Thoney's way.
David Erquiaga raised from the hijack to 275,000 and was looked up by Chongxian Yang in the cutoff and Allen Chang in the big blind.
The players checked down the K♣5♦9♦ flop as they did the Q♦ turn, for the 3♥ to peel off on the river.
Chang checked to Erquiaga, who bet out for 900,000. Yang folded faster than a cheetah on caffeine, and Chang went into the tank briefly before he tossed in the call.
Erquiaga tabled A♦3♣ for a rivered bottom pair but was crushed by Chang's K♠6♠ for top pair, and Chang was shipped the healthy pot.
