Yee Knocks Out Wong

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tung Wing Wong open-jammed for 20,400 and Shun Jian Yee called on the button. Chip leader Sze Ngai Kao in the big bling reluctantly folded and was then somewhat surprised to see the following showdown.

Tung Wing Wong: 10♦9♦
Shun Jian Yee: Q♦J♦

Neither player connected with the K♦7♠5♠K♣7♦ board and the queen played as high card. "I had an ace," Kao sighed.

Yun Wins Large Three-Way All-In

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jungsup Yun raised to 2,600 and Jeremy Catalig pushed all-in for 31,100 from one seat over. Table big stack Li Lok Ching inquired to see the stack size of Yun before moving all-in and was snap-called, as Catalig gasped a brief "puta madre".

Jeremy Catalig: A♥K♥
Jungsup Yun: A♦A♠
Li Lok Ching: Q♣Q♠

"Flush on the flop!" Catalig predicted but his wish was never granted on a 10♦5♣3♠7♠2♠ runout. Catalig was eliminated and Yun doubled for 76,800 through Ching.

Jungsup Yun	185,000 185,000	185,000
Lok Ching Li	100,000 100,000	100,000

Teoh Eliminated by Campomanes

Christian Zetzsche

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

With a rather small pot brewing to the 7♠5♥5♦ flop, William Teoh raised it up to 10,000. Florencio Campomanes then went over the top with a reraise to 22,700 and Teoh reluctantly called all-in.

William Teoh: K♥Q♣
Florencio Campomanes: 7♥4♥

The 2♦ turn and 2♥ river changed nothing whatsoever and Teoh was sent to the rail.

While Campomanes stacked the chips, he grinned and said "that's Asia".

Chargualaf Eliminated by Farboud

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With slightly more than 5,000 in the middle to the 9♣4♣3♦ flop, Feridoun Farboud bet 5,000 and Joshua Chargualaf called. Farboud bet another 7,000 on the Q♥ turn and Chargualaf moved all-in, Farboud called.

"Did you hit the queen?" Chargualaf inquired but was shown the A♣A♥ instead. Chargualaf was left with two outs holding the K♠K♦ and couldn't get there with the 7♣ river.

Feridoun Farboud	62,000 32,000	32,000
Joshua Chargualaf	Busted

Wu Cracks Nomura's Aces

Christian Zetzsche

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

On the heads-up turn of 7♠4♥3♠10♣, Yuanning Wu moved all-in for the last 15,300. He was quickly called by Takashi Nomura with the covering stack and the cards were revealed.

Yuanning Wu: A♠Q♠
Takashi Nomura: A♦A♣

Wu needed a spade and got it with the K♠ river to score the double.

One table over, Seokchan Hwang claimed the stack of Hyun Jin Jung to become an early big stack as well.

Seokchan Hwang	65,000 65,000	65,000
Yuanning Wu	52,000 52,000	52,000
Takashi Nomura	6,500 -23,500	-23,500

Nakada Scores an Early Double

Christian Zetzsche

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

The cards and board were already exposed when the chips of Yuki Nakada were counted. His A♦Q♦ had flopped the nuts on the K♦8♦7♦9♣10♥ board and Valeriy Pak was left with a mere 300 chips, as his 10♣8♠ were only good enough for a rivered two pair. A few moments later, Pak headed out of the Coral Room and he has one chance to re-enter today.

Player	Chips	Progress
Yuki Nakada	61,000 61,000	61,000
Valeriy Pak	Busted
