Rong Xu opened the betting under the gun with a shove of his last 140K, and Felix Sides went all-in over for about 360K total. Action folded to Sean Windover – the chip leader to this point – who went all-in himself. It folded back around through the blinds and the cards were turned over.

Just a couple of hand later Louis-Dominic Asselin was eliminated in 8th position.
