Another tap of the table by Kamei prompted Peng to declare herself all in for 410,000 (245,000 effective), a move which forced a long tank by the Brazilian. Eventually, after about five minutes had elapsed, Brandon Cantu called for time to move the action along, and when 60 more seconds had come and gone, Kamei had still not made his decision.
His hand was declared dead and the pot was pushed to Peng.
| Xiao Peng | 820,000 | 166,000  |
| Gustavo Kamei | 245,000 | -192,000  |
