Wan Bossing the Table

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

There have been no major confrontations, but with the blinds so high it hasn't taken long for Wan to chip up to the tune of twelve big blinds four-handed.

He now sits with almost 11 million chips of the 24.6 million chips in play.

Ullmann Pays Off Wan

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Nino Ullmann raised to 320,000 with the {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Vincent Wan called with the {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} in the small blind, as did Ngoc Tai Hoang in the big blind with {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. The flop of {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} was checked through and the {5-Diamonds} turn gave Wan an additional flushdraw.

No betting action took place and that led to the {q-Spades} river, on which Wan bet 600,000. Hoang let go within a second and Ullmann went deep into the tank. He did make the call and Wan scooped the pot.

Pepper Check-Raises Wan

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

First to act, Nino Ullmann raised to 320,000 with the {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and he was called by Vincent Wan in the small blind with the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} in the small blind and Ngoc Tai Hoang in the big blind with {k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

The trio checked the {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop and the {5-Diamonds} followed on the turn. Wan bet 325,000 and both opponents folded.

Vincent Wan raised it up to 330,000 next with the {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Gareth Pepper called with the {a-Spades}{8-Clubs} in the big blind. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} and no betting action took place. After the {a-Clubs} turn, Pepper checked to face a bet of 300,000 and raised it up to win the pot right there.

Erik Seidel Eliminated in 5th Place (A$378,660)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

Vincent Wan was in the cutoff, and raised to 325,000 and Erik Seidel three-bet all in for 2,875,000. Wan rechecked his cards before calling.

Vincent Wan: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Erik Seidel: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Seidel was in bad shape but spiked a ten on the flop. However, the {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop gave Wan a pair as well, meaning Seidel would need to spike one of the remaining two tens in the deck.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and the river the {4-Diamonds} and Wan jumped to his feet, pumping the air in celebration as he sent Seidel to the rail in fifth place.

"He's supposed to call in that spot," said Seidel. "Sometimes you just have to go with a hand. Nino [Ullmann] is the strongest player remaining. I like their game a lot. The other guys obviously have some game and have come a long way, and made some excellent plays along the way."

Ngoc Tai Hoang: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Gareth Pepper: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Hoang paired up on the {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop, the {j-Hearts} turn and {10-Clubs} river blanked and Hoang doubled.

Ullmann Scoops Two Vital Pots

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Nino Ullmann limped the small blind with the {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Gareth Pepper checked with the {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop gave Pepper two pair and Ullmann a flush. Ullmann bet 200,000 and Pepper called to see the {6-Spades} on the turn.

Ullmann placed a pot-sized bet of 880,000 and Pepper let go.

In the next hand, Ullmann raised the button to 320,000 with {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Vincent Wan defended out of the big blind with {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}. On a flop of {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades} both players checked and headed to the {8-Hearts} turn. Wan opted not to bluff and checked his option, Ullmann checked back.

The {7-Hearts} on the river gave both players the flush and Wan check-called a bet of 575,000 to get shown the bad news.

Wan Chips Up; Ullmann Slips Down

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Nino Ullmann opened with the {q-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Gareth Pepper jammed the button with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} to force a fold.

Ullmann raised to 320,000 shortly after with the {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} and he folded to a three-bet Vincent Wan, who made it 900,000 total with the {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

Wan found the {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and his raise in the cutoff won the blinds and ante. He then three-bet an open raise by Pepper from 400,000 to 1.3 million with the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, and Pepper quickly folded a queen.

Pepper and Wan Tangle Twice

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Vincent Wan raised it up to 320,000 with the {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Gareth Pepper in the big blind announced all-in with the {a-Spades}{9-Spades}, Wan folded.

Pepper then raised to 380,000 out of the small blind with the {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Wan stuck around with {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} from one seat over. The flop brought {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} and both paired their kicker. Pepper bet 350,000 and Wan raised it up to 900,000 with 2,225,000 behind.

A very reluctant fold from Pepper followed and Wan claimed the pot.
