Wayne Heung Eliminated in 5th Place (₩48,925,000/$43,054)

Level 22 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Wayne Heung
Wayne Heung

Irshat Shaykhov won a pot off Wayne Heung when he called a bet of 160,000 on the {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades} river and his {8-Spades}{3-Hearts} beat the {j-Spades}{7-Clubs} of Heung, who dropped to around 3 million.

Heung was in the big blind next and Michael Soyza jammed on the button, Heung called.

Wayne Heung: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Michael Soyza: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Soyza had one over card and immediately improved on the {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop. Heung's rail called for a queen, but the {2-Diamonds} turn and {9-Hearts} river were blanks to send Heung to the rail in 5th place for ₩48,925,000 ($43,054).

"Oh Baby; Flip Me One Time"

Level 22 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

In the first hand after coming back from the break, Michael Soyza moved all in out of the small blind and Huahuan Feng in the big blind was very tempted, asked for a count and called over his friends in Chinese. He then called for 2,575,000 in total and a small rail emerged.

Michael Soyza: {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Huahuan Feng: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

"Oh baby, flip me one time," Soyza said after he discovered two over cards. Soyza asked for a jack or ten, but instead received a ton of outs on the {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop. The {6-Spades} turn was a blank, but Soyza rivered the straight with the {8-Spades} to regain the lead.

Level 21 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Michael Soyza limped in from the small blind and Huahuan Feng checked. They checked the {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop and Soyza bet the {7-Hearts} turn for 120,000 and Feng called. On the {3-Clubs} river, Soyza checked and called a bet of 300,000 to get shown {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for back door two pair by Feng.

Peng Doubles Through Soyza

Level 21 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Michael Soyza open-shoved out of the small blind and into the big blind of Huahuan Feng, who called for the last 1,625,000.

Huahuan Feng: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Michael Soyza: {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Feng flopped top pair on {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}, but the final day had already provided some cruel runner-runner scenarios. Indeed, Soyza picked up some outs with the {6-Hearts} turn, but the {8-Spades} river was a blank to let Feng double.

Soyza Takes Over Control

Level 21 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Michael Soyza has ramped up the aggression and claimed most of the chips preflop. In one rare case, Jiang Chen check-called a bet of 255,000 on the {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop in a battle of the blinds, but check-folded the {j-Diamonds} turn when Soyza made it 350,000 to go.

Irshat Shaykhov lost a few chips and Soyza pulled further away at the top.

Yake Wu

Michael Soyza min-raised to 200,000 in the cutoff and Yake Wu shoved for 1,560,000 on the button. Irshat Shaykhov called in the big blind, but just after Soyza had accidentally folded out of turn.

Yake Wu: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Irshat Shaykhov: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop was a big one for Wu, but he found no help on the {9-Diamonds} turn and {5-Diamonds} river to bow out in 6th place for ₩37,920,000 ($33,370).

Level 20 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Wai Wa Chan

Michael Soyza min-raised to 200,000 first to act and Wai Wa Chan came along out of the big blind. On a flop of {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, Chan check-jammed into the continuation bet of Soyza and was called to create the following showdown.

Wai Wa Chan: {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Michael Soyza: {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

"I have a lot of outs," Soyza immediately said while a bigger rail gathered close to the table.

Soyza hit the magic {2-Clubs} turn to leave Chan drawing dead, which made the {a-Hearts} river a formality. Chan receives ₩29,970,000 ($26,374) for his efforts and Soyza has taken over the lead with six players remaining.
