Terry Fan Eliminated in Equal 10th Place (HK$371,250)

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Terry Fan - Equal 10th Place
Terry Fan - Equal 10th Place

Jonathan Depa opened for 12,000 under the gun and received a call from Yifan Zheng. Terry fan then moved all in from the button for 94,000. Depa made the call, Zheng folded, and the cards were turned up.

Depa: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Fan: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Fan got it in as a dominating favorite, but that doesn't always translate to victory as he found out when the {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop delivered Depa a jack. Neither the {9-Spades} turn nor {3-Diamonds} river helped Fan and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Meanwhile, there was another all-in situation at the other table.

Peter Chan Eliminated in Equal 10th Place (HK$371,250)

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Peter Chan - 10th place
Peter Chan - 10th place

With roughly 70,000 in the middle in a three-bet pot, Peter Chan checked a {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop from out of the small blind before Yoshitaka Okawa bet 22,000.

With the action back on Chan, he moved all in for 274,500 to send Okawa into the tank. The Japanese player separated calling chips from his stack and deliberated for several minutes before finally making the call to put Chan at risk.

Chan: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Okawa: {J-Spades}{7-Spades}

Chan's set was in the lead against Okawa's flush and double gutshot, but the turn of the {10-Clubs} gave Okawa the lead with a straight. Chan needed the board to pair on the river, but it was not meant to be as the {J-Clubs} landed on the river. Since they busted at the same time, Fan and Chan took equal 10th place for a HK$371,250 each.

Yifan Zheng Leads the Final Table; Team Online's Randy Lew Lurking

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Chip leader Yifan Zheng
Chip leader Yifan Zheng

It was a quick Day 4 in the 2013 PokerStars.net Asia-Pacific Poker Tour Macau Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP) HK$100,000 Main Event at the PokerStars LIVE at the City of Dreams. It took less than six hours for the field to whittle itself down from 25 to the final table of nine.

Yifan Zheng has the best shot at the HK$4,752,000 first-place prize after emerging as the chip leader, but he has some stiff competition in the form of PokerStars Tem Online’s Randy Lew, who is seeking his second title in Macau.

The day kicked off with a bang as both Edward Yam and Stephane Blouin fell right out of the gate. After Jim Sue Pan followed them out the door in 23rd place, Team Online's Naoya Kihara was sent to the rail.

It happened in Level 17 (2,000/4,000/500) when Aidan Tam opened for 8,000 from the cutoff and Kihara three-bet jammed for 49,000 from the button. The blind folded and Tam made a quick call.

Tam: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Kihara: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Kihara's face seemed to indicate that he knew his number had been called, and he seemed resigned to his fate after the {5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop failed to deliver him options. The {4-Hearts} turn meant he would need to catch a queen on the river to survive, but it wasn't in the cards as the useless {9-Spades} peeled off. Naoya took home HK$198,000 for his 22nd-place finish.

From there the eliminations continued to mount and included Yujung Choi (21st - HK$198,000), Jan Bendik (20th - HK$198,000) and Satrya Teja (19th Place - HK$247,500).

In Level 18 (2,500/5,000/500), Teja, who if you recall finished as the chip leader at the end of Day 1b, moved all in for 49,000 under the gun and cleared the field to Chane Kampanatsanyakorn, who made the call from the cutoff. The rest of the field got out of the way and the cards were turned up.

Teja: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Kampanatsanyakorn: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

It was a classic flip, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Kampanatsanyakorn was a 53.71% favorite while Teja would survive 45.92% of the time. The {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop didn't hit Teja directly, but it did deliver him a flush draw to go with his overs, which made him a 52.32% favorite.

The {5-Hearts} turn was no help, and Kampanatsanyakorn jumped back into the lead with a 65.91% chance of ending with the best hand. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {6-Spades}. Teja missed and finished in 19th place for HK$247,500.

From there, Ling Tong (18th - HK$247,500), Cheryl Peng (Equal 16th - HK$272,250), Andrew Lam (Equal 16th - HK$272,250), Kevin Schulz (15th - HK$297,000), Aidan Tam (14th - HK$297,000), Tore Lukashaugen (13th - HK$346,500), and Ro Woong Park (12th - HK$346,500) all hit the rail.

At that point two more players needed to fall before the final table was set, and as fate would have it, they came at the same time on two separate tables. You can read about each by clicking here and here.
