The short-handed action continues to escalate and there is one more all-in showdown.

Xizhen Huang three-bets an open raise by Duy Thuc Nguyen from 160,000 to 400,000 in a battle button versus cutoff. Nguyen clicks it back to 1,260,000 for Huang to sigh, then use a time bank. What follows is the shove by Huang for massive 4,615,000 and Nguyen asks for an exact count.

He has no more time banks left, as his Action Clock runs to zero and the hand is dead.

Soon after, Jinlong Hu opts to open-shove from the button and Philipp Nguyen calls all-in for 1,575,000 in the big blind.
