We came running after a piercing scream rang out to discover Lin Zhe Chen and Yu Zhang embroiled in a big pot, with Chen hitting the river to bring Zhang's tournament to a close.

With {k-}{k-} face up on the felt in front of him, Zhang looked pretty unimpressed at the {5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{j-Hearts} run out as it had given Chen, holding {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} the Broadway straight. Chen celebrated happily, while a not so happy Zhang headed for the rail.

Timothy Yim is continuing to grow his stack, railing the unfortunate Hsuan Chao Chen with the two getting all the chips in pre-flop, Yim's {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} winning a race against the {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} of Chen, who headed for the exit while Yim stacked up to 230,000.

Pocket tens did not fare as well for Bart Luyckx, who was kind enough to pop by the media desk and give us his elimination tale. Luyckx got his last 19 big blinds in with {10-}{10-} from the button over the top of a Pei Yan open raise, with the Chinese player making the call with {k-}{j-}.

Unfortunately for Luyckx, the runout favored the man with overcards, coming {q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} to give Yan the straight on the river and stack him up to 135,000 while Luyckx is out.
