Ko KO'd by De Leon

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Chierro De Leon
Chierro De Leon

Three ways to the 333 flop, Taekbeom Ko bet 3,000 and Rodolfo Cruz called. Chierro De Leon raised to 9,000 for Ko to then push for 28,000 total.

Cruz folded but De Leon called after some consideration.

Taekbeom Ko: 87
Chierro De Leon: 88

Nothing changed on the J turn and Ko initially celebrated a chop on the 8 river before realising that De Leon had eights full of treys.

Naito Says Sayonara

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Yuta Naito was all-in with a very short stack holding the AQ and he had a mountain to climb. Michael De Leon on the other side of the table revealed the AA and there was no escape on the 7337A runout.

"Thanks everyone ... sayonara!" Naito said before leaving the table.

Leung Scores a Knockout

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Down to a short stack, Mathias Schell was all-in and at risk preflop with the Q9. Yiu Yeung Leung had an easy call with the far superior stack and his KQ was also way ahead.

The A763J board changed nothing and Leung added more chips.

Lee Doesn't Bluff the River

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Siyoung Lee
Siyoung Lee

Siyoung Lee bet the QJ52 turn for 7,000 to receive a very quick call by Tracy Crisostomo in the cutoff. The 2 fell on the river and Lee checked for the stack size of Crisostomo, who revealed exactly 43,000 behind. One minute later, Lee checked and Crisostomo checked back to win the pot with Q10 versus K7.

Registration for Day 1b Closed

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Out of a field of 645 entries, only 259 players remain and aim to finish the final three levels of the night. By the time it will come to bagging and tagging, that number will be significantly lower. The outer tournament areas in the Coral Room will feature the turbo heat 1c, which has not started yet.

Level: 11

Blinds: 1,000/1,500

Ante: 1,500

Final Break on Day 1b

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

The end of the late registration is looming as level ten has come to an end. Only some 259 players out of 643 entries remain and the official numbers will be determined when the cards go back in the air. All those wishing to join the penultimate flight can do so during the ongoing 10-minute break, in which the T-100 chips are also raced off as well.

Furthermore, the turbo heat 1c is scheduled to kick off any minute from now if space permits.

Kim Eliminated by Platon

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

Jaejung Kim from under the gun and Ryan Platon on the button got their chips in after the 954 flop and they had nearly even stack sizes.

Jaejung Kim: JJ
Ryan Platon: A10

The A turn left Kim on the ropes and the 5 river ended his run.

"I was ahead all the time," Platon joked. He had covered his opponent by a mere one and a half big blinds.
