Soyza Jams Into Izutsu

Level 18 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

A raise by Hideki Izutsu was called by Irshat Shaykhov and Jiang Chen in the blinds. The {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop was checked to Izutsu and he continued for 150,000. Shaykhov check-raised to 370,000 and that forced two folds.

Soon after, Izutsu opened to 130,000 first to act and picked up two callers once more in Wai Wa Chan and Michael Soyza in the blinds. The {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop brought no betting action and Soyza led the [5d turn for 150,000, Izutsu snap-called and Chan quickly folded. Soyza jammed the {10-Diamonds} on the river and Izutsu folded.

More for Wu and Shaykhov

Level 18 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Yake Wu won a three-way pot uncontested after betting the {4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} turn to force two folds.

Next up it was a battle of the blinds between Wayne Heung and Irshat Shaykhov with the former betting the {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} turn for 175,000, Shaykhov called. The {6-Spades} on the river brought no betting action and Heung tabled {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a pair of sixes and busted flushdraw.

Shaykhov turned over {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens and Michael Soyza chimed in "glad there was no diamond, eh?" Shaykhov was taken by surprise and asked if Heung had diamonds.

Dong Chen
Dong Chen

Dong Chen opened to 110,000 and Hideki Izutsu three-bet to 400,000. Chen moved all in and Izutsu moved forward all his time bank chips and nodded. "This is a call, right?" Celina Lin inquired and Izutsu confirmed.

Hideki Izutsu: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Dong Chen: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The board came {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{a-Spades} and Izutsu turned a set. Both stacks were counted and it was Izutsu at risk for 1,050,000, while Chen was left with a mere 40,000. Two hands later, Chen moved all in first to act and Izutsu raised to 175,000 in the cutoff. Irshat Shaykhov called in the big blind and check-folded the {10-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop to a bet of 250,000.

Dong Chen: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Hideki Izutsu: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Chen could all but grin as the {8-Hearts} turn and {2-Spades} river rolled off to send him to the rail with a bad beat story to tell.
