Jianwei Lin J♣9♥ opened to 240,000 from the button before Andrew Hulme Q♣J♠ three-bet to 1,000,000 out of the small blind. David Coleman picked up A♣K♥ once again and four-bet to 1,800,000. Lin quickly folded, and Hulme followed suit shortly afterwards.
David Coleman woke up with A♦K♣ and made it 240,000 and was called by Fabiano Kovalski, with K♥Q♥, from middle position.
Kovalksi reversed his domination and paired up on the Q♠J♣4♦ flop, while Coleman had a gutshot to Broadway. The latter check-called for 275,000.
The 8♥ turn kept Kovalski in front, and Coleman checked for a second time. Kovalksi sized up to 850,000, and Coleman wasted little time folding.

Harry Lodge raised to 800,000 from under the gun, leaving himself 200,000 behind the line. David Coleman, in the big blind, thought for some time before putting Lodge all in for the remainder of his chips. Lodge took pause to assess the hand being played on the main feature table before making the call for his tournament life.
Harry Lodge: A♦J♥
David Coleman: K♠J♦
Lodge was in a commanding lead and the 6♠2♥A♠ flop had Coleman drawing to running cards. The Q♣ turn gave Coleman an unlikely gutshot and the 10♦ river completed it. Coleman made Broadway to send Lodge to the rail. The remaining nine players are now on the final table.
With 1,000,000 in the pot already on a turn board of K♠9♦2♣8♠, Rania Nasreddine checked 10♥9♥ to Fabiano Kovalski who bet 700,000 from under-the-gun with K♥Q♠.
Nasreddine called with her second pair, and on the 8♥ river, she checked again and faced a bet of 1,350,000.
The start of day chip leader thought briefly, but then incorrectly called with her nines and eights, falling to Kovalski's kings and eights.
Jianwei Lin opened to 250,000 from the cutoff, and David Coleman called from the button.
Lin check-called bets of 260,000 and 440,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read 9♣6♣3♦5♥7♦.
Any eight or four made a straight, and Lin checked for a third time. Coleman used up a time bank before firing a third barrel of 1,450,000.
Lin immediately threw in his stack of time bank cards, with several being used until he flicked in a T-5,000 to call the large river bet.
Coleman tabled K♥J♥ for king-high, while Lin showed down J♠9♠ and took in the pot with just a pair of nines.
Fabiano Kovalski raised Q♦3♦ to 250,000 in the cutoff and was three-bet to 900,000 by Stephen Song in the small blind with K♣7♣.
Kovalski folded as Song won the latest in a string of pots to build his stack back over 7,000,000.
