Tech Jams Into Kim

Christian Zetzsche

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

With almost 50,000 in the middle to the A♦K♣4♠3♠8♦ river, John Tech moved all-in. He was up against Hyung Tai Kim, who asked for an exact count on the shove. The all-in was for 23,900 and once Kim let go, Tech flashed his J♦4♦ before raking in a very healthy pot.

Magnotti Gets a Shove Through

Christian Zetzsche

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

In a duel cutoff versus small blind, Joseph Magnotti tangled with Saudino Macavinta. The latter already had 21,100 out in front and it was then Magnotti who jammed with the covering stack. The shove was for more than 100,000 and Saudino went into the tank. He reluctantly folded which brought some groans with it by the other players at the table.

Duran Sends Tolentino to the Rail

Christian Zetzsche

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

Some 30,000 were in the middle to the Q♦6♥2♦8♦K♠ river when Richard Tolentino called all-in following a large bet by Oliver Duran. The latter tabled the A♦J♦ for the nuts and Tolentino mucked his 9♦7♦ before heading to the rail.

Duran leaped further near the top on the leaderboard, only trailing Siyoung Lee for the time being.

Ando Doubles Through Lamb

Christian Zetzsche

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

Thomas Lamb was aiming to force out Mototsugo Ando on the K♥K♠5♣6♥ turn but the latter eventually called all-in with the inferior stack.

Ando's 10♦10♣ was up against the Q♥8♥ of Lamb and the 9♦ river was a blank.

Inada Still In It

Christian Zetzsche

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

Takuya Inada was all-in before the flop for around 20 blinds and the table big stack Soohyun Baek looked him up.

When Inada exposed the J♠J♣, Baek revealed only his 10♦ first and left the second card right below it before the dealer spread the A♦ into visibility for everyone.

Inada made a set on the J♥9♦7♣ flop and Baek's combo draw on the 6♦ turn then failed to get there with the 3♣ river.

Soohyun Baek	140,000 25,000	25,000
Takuya Inada	45,000 45,000	45,000

Hibi Doubles Through Choy

Christian Zetzsche

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

With the turn showing K♣8♥8♠3♠, Kelvin Choy checked out of the big blind and eventually called the button shove by Toshihiro Hibi for 18,500 into a pot of around as much.

Toshihiro Hibi: Q♦8♦
Kelvin Choy: K♠10♦

The 2♥ river brought no help to Choy and he lost nearly half of his stack.
