Chuck Giroux raised UTG+1, Feiwen Wu moved all in from the button for 380,000, and Alex Ivan called from the small blind. Giroux also called, and any further betting will create a side pot.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of 9c9s6sQh, Ivan bet 400,000, and Giroux folded.

Wu showed 10h10c, but Ivan turned over KhKc. Wu needed to catch a ten on the river to stay alive.

The river card was the 7c, and the pocket kings held up for Ivan to win the pot and eliminate Wu in 45th place.

Alex Ivan  –  5,700,000  (114 bb)
Feiwen Wu  –  Eliminated in 45th Place  ($4,180)

With 44 players remaining from a field of 4,265, the average chip stack is around 1,940,000 (39 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $4,180 each.

Action will continue tonight until the hard stop at 2:00 am, and the remaining players will return tomorrow at 1:00 pm to play down to a winner.
