It seemed to be just a matter of time until the low average would catch up with several shorter stacks still in contention and the action then escalated in a hurry.
Kenneth Ip scored a full double through Federick Cruz with Q ♠️ 8 ♠️ for a turned straight on J ♣️ 9 ♣️ 6 ♠️ 10 ♥️ when the chips went in. Cruz had the 10 ♠️ 9 ♠️ and couldn't boat up on the J ♦️ river.
Lemuel Agbanlog then jammed into Mc Yeldarb Mantos with rags and was quickly called by J ♣️ J ♥️ . The J ♦️ 10 ♦️ 8 ♦️ 8 ♠️ A ♥️ board gave Mantos jacks full for the knockout.
Cruz then doubled off Samuel Schwarz before Aleksandr Gorichev busted to reduce the field to the last 21 players across three tables. Donghyun Kim also busted to Ip as well.
