Dhaval Mudgal Eliminated by Kyle Bao Diep
Kyle Bao Diep raises to 20,000 and earns one call in the next seat. Dhaval Mudgal then three-bet jams for the last 68,000 and Diep isolates via four-bet to 150,000.
Dhaval Mudgal: K10
Kyle Bao Diep: QQ
The suited king gains some equity with the 1087 flop but Diep comes out on top thanks to the 2 turn as well as the Q river.

Punnat Punsri Flipped Out by Hwang Wei Choong
Level 17: 5,000-10,000, 10,000 ante
Punnat Punsri
Punnat Punsri is all-in via coin flip with the AK and Hwang Wei Choong, who doubled through Punsri earlier today, reluctantly calls with the 1010 after the 9222 turn.
The river is the 6 and that spells the end for the start-of-the-day chip leader.
Hwang Wei Choong - 650,000 (65 bb)
