Cards in the Air

Level 15 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

The introductions are over and the cards are now in the air!

It's gonna be a quick final table. Let's go!

Walking with Kings

Level 15 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

The first hand of the day saw the action fold around to Anson Tsang in the small blind and he tanked before folding. Sorel Mizzi was in the big blind and tabled {k-}{k-}.

Couple of Shoves

Level 15 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

The second hand of the day saw our first all in. It was Igor Kurganov from the hijack and he jammed for around 18 million. The rest of the table got out of the way and Kurganov added some chips to his stack.

The next hand would see Sorel Mizzi shove the button and Niklas Heinecker and Isaac Haxton folded out of the blinds.

Ike Doubles Up Early

Level 15 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Hand number four would see the action fold around to Isaac Haxton in the small blind and he would shove all in for 5,675,000. Zheng Tang was in the big blind and opted to make the call.

Haxton: {q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Tang: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Tang had Haxton well covered and Haxton was looking like he would be our 7th place finisher. However, the {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} board would give Haxton enough to survive and double up.

Pratyush Buddiga Eliminated in 8th Place (HK$6,000,000)

Level 15 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Pratyush Budigga - 8th Place
Pratyush Budigga - 8th Place

We have just our first player at the GDAM final table. Folded around to Igor Kurganov in in the small blind and he would hesitate for just a moment before shoving all in. Pratyush Buddiga was in the big blind and called quickly, putting himself at risk with his last 12 million in chips.

Kurganov: {q-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Buddiga: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop was a great one for Kurganov and with a {4-Spades} turn and a {10-Diamonds} river, it was all over in 8th place for Buddiga. For that effort Buddiga receives HK$6,000,000 (US$774,193). The next player eliminated will take home HK$7,150,000 (US$922,580).

Three Hands, No Flops

Level 15 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

The last few hands to play out went like so:

Folded around to Niklas Heinecker on the button and he would move all in for around 12 million. The rest of the players got out of the way and Heinecker picked up the pot.

The next hand would see Igor Kurganov get a walk.

The following action would see play fold around to Zheng Tang on the button and he would raise to 2 million. The blinds got out of the way and Tang scooped up the small pot – well, big pot really considering the blinds.
