Raymond Wu Doubles Up

[user92162]

Raymond Wu emerged victorious from his clash with Bryan Huang.

In a clash of Team PokerStars Asia members, and also a battle of the blinds Bryan Huang has doubled up Raymond Wu.

Preflop, the action was opened by Brian Bumpas who raised to 3,600 from the cutoff. He got a call from the button and then Huang three-bet to 13,600 from the small blind. Wu four-bet all in to 16,8000 total and it folded back to Huang who made the call.

Huang: {10-Diamonds}

Wu:

"Ten, Ten, Ten," Huang started chanting. Wu decided to get in on the act by calling for a Queen.

To a rather noisey chorous of calling for cards, that sounded more like a pack of cicada's the dealer revealed {2-Clubs}

to ship the double up to Wu.

Wu has around 35,000. Huang is back to down to around 20,000.

[user75032]

We expected lots of fireworks on Table 3 and it hasn't disappointed. After the recent double-up of Raymond Wu, players were right back at it. There were 31,000 chips in the middle for a flop of {3-Diamonds}

. The player in Seat 1 moved all in for 36,600 against his lone opponent, Bold Uundai. Uundai tanked for several minutes, drawing quite a crowd to the table, before surrendering his cards.

Lica Sever Marian Bleeds Some Chips

[user92162]

Lica Sever Marian has had a pretty good morning. He found an early double up to move up around 70,000 and grabbed some more chips from some smaller pots.

Unfortunately Marian dropped a few chips in a recent pot. On a flop of {4-Hearts}

Marian check-raised to 6,000 over his opponent's 1,600 chip bet. The opponent called and they took a {3-Diamonds}

on the turn.

Marian led 12,000 this time and the opponent flat called. Both players checked off the {5-Diamonds}

river and Marian's opponent rolled over {Q-Hearts}

to beat out Marian's own two pair with {6-Hearts}

.

He still has about 70,000 chips.

Huang Moving On Up

[user75032]

Ok, we know there are twelve tables in the room. And really, we're trying to report on all twelve. But we absolutely cannot make it past Table 3 without a big pot demanding our attention. This time the combatants were Bryan Huang and Bold Uundai. There were already 20,000 chips up for grabs with the board showing {10-Diamonds}

. Huang had first action and bet 14,000.

Uundai tanked for about a minute and a half, then splashed fourteen blue chips (T1,000) into the pot. He then executed his trademark table pound as the dealer burned and turned the river card, a blank {2-Diamonds}

. Huang moved all in for 29,400.

Uundai asked for a count, tanked for about two minutes, and then folded, allowing Huang to drag the pot and increase his count to about 78,000. And with that, we're off to watch some hands on any table but Table 3.

Jonathan Lin Eliminated

[user92162]

After spending the entire Day 1b on the brink of elimination, it looked as though Jonathan Lin may have finally turned the corner, and was ready to make a deep run.

It all crumbled though when Lin got his {8-?}

all in against an opponent's {A-?}

and wasn't able to hold up.

He'll leave behind just three members of PokerStars Team Asia Pro in the field.

Table 2 Competing with Table 3

[user75032]

We've mentioned all of the action and the towers of chips on Table 3. We haven't, however, talked about how Table 3 has shaped up. Chris Demers, Mike Gaertner and Terry Fan are, by our estimations, all in the top ten in chips. They are also sitting in the 2-seat, 4-seat and 5-seat at Table 2, with 130,000, 155,000 and 185,000 chips respectively. We expect to see some major fireworks on that table in the next few hours.

Bryan Huang Eliminated

[user92162]

Bryan Huang has been eliminated after clashing with Bold Uundai.

Preflop Uundai limped up, with Huang completing the small blind and Raymond Wu checking the big blind.

They took a {2-Clubs}

flop, and Huang check to Wu who led out 2,500. Uundai called, and then Huang check-raised up to 18,000. Wu got out of the way, but Uundai called.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}

and Huang led 20,000 with Uundai calling. The river {6-Clubs}

saw Huang check, and Uundai announce all in.

Huang huffed. "Ok I call, I guess" said Huang.

"NUTS!!!" was the reply from Uundai, who then employed the use of his now trademark slap of the table.

Uundai turned over {A-Clubs}

and Huang mucked his cards, resigned to the fact that he was eliminated from the tournament.
