Joseph Cheong had an exhilirating day of ups and downs and has now found himself on the rail. We didn't catch his elimination, but with his seat now filled with Isaac Haxton, we took to twitter to investigate.
Winfred Yu has had plenty of success at the felt this year, finishing 3rd in the recent WSOP APAC Main Event. Unfortunately he wont be adding another result here in the GDAM Main Event as we have just watched him hit the rail.
By the time we arrived at the action we found Yu all-in preflop and Devan Tang and Brian Powell still involved in the hand on a flop. Powell had jammed here, having Tang well covered and eventually Tang folded, prompting Yu to table his at-risk hand.
Powell:
Yu:
The turn was the exact opposite of what Yu was looking for and with a meaningless completing the board on the river, Yu found the rail, while Powell is no cruinging.
The eliminations continue to fly fast during this second level of play. The most recent players to find the rail were Chunlei Zhou, Di Dang and Tom Hall. There are currently 36 players remaining.
"All in and call!" came the cry from Table Seven just a few minutes after play recommenced following the break.
It was Norway's Tore Lukashaugan all in and at risk holding against the of JC Alvarado. Lukashaugan was looking good up to the turn on a board, but the river gave Alvarado a bigger pair and just like that Lukashaugan was sent home.
PokerStars Team Online Isaac Haxton has continued his surge up the chip leader board, recently dealing the fatal blow to Dan Smith.
Smith and Haxton got all the chips in preflop, with Smith at-risk holding and being very unlucky to run into Haxton's .
The board wasn't pretty for Smith as he was sent packing a few tables short of surviving the day. Haxton is now up to around 13 million and is currently the only player to be in control of an eight-figure chip stack.
