Tan The Man

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We came across the table with a mountain of chips in the pot and the board spread out {9-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

Masaki Nakano had just checked his option over to Tai Tan who was his opponent. Tan cut out a bet and slid in 135,000 in chips. Nakano thought about his decision and made the call only to muck his hand when Tan tabled his {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for the flush.

Tan raked in the pot and moves up to 460,000 in chips, a clear leader of the next largest stack.

No Cash for Mandakh

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Battulga Mandakh, who had been short for quite some time, just moved all in for 19,000 and both players on his left. Masai Nakano and Tai Zheng Tan made the call.

On a {6-Spades}{J-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} board the hand was checked down and Mandakh showed {K-Spades}{5-Spades} for king-high. Tan tabled {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} but it was Nakano who took down the pot with {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Break

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

With 33 players remaining another break has just started. Play will resume in 10 minutes and 27 players will get paid in this event. The money bubble looms.

Suzuki Eliminates Wang

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Tai Tan raised to 6,000 from under the gun pus one. Takuya Suzuki then bumped it up to 19,500 from middle position before the decision fell on Yang Wang. He thought for a moment before moving all in for around 70,000 in chips from the button. The blinds got out of the way, as did Tan. Suzuki quickly made the call and the cards were tabled.

Suzuki: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Wang: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} to see Suzuki spike a queen on the flop to send Wang to the rail just short of the scheduled break.
