Elliott Zaydman moved all in from early position for just under six big blinds and the action folded to Kitty Kuo in the big blind. She asked for a count and then made the call.
Kuo:
Zaydman:
The rail of Kuo was asking for an ace whereas Zaydman requested the six-ball. On the flop, Zaydman stayed ahead but Kuo now also picked up a flush draw.
The on the turn changed nothing but the river completed a flush for Kuo and she let out a "yess", her rail cheered.
Zaydman smiled even in defeat and they shook hands before he would head to the payout desk in order to collect $71,781 for his efforts.
Simon Deadman raised to 200,000 out of the small blind and Kitty Kuo three-bet to 600,000. "Why do you raise me?" Deadman asked. "You have a VPP of 100, I have to raise you. I only have a VPP of 80," Kuo replied before collecting the chips after the fold of Deadman.
One orbit later, Deadman limped from the small blind and Kuo raised to 300,000. Deadman now four-bet to 815,000 and that did the trick, Kuo folded.
In the first hand from break, Martin Godsk raised to 240,000 and Michael Wang moved all in for 2.015 million from one seat over. Godsk folded and Wang collected that pot as well as the next one with a raise to 250,000. Simon Deadman also claimed the blinds and antes with a min-raise to 240,000.
We caught the action in a battle of the blinds between Simon Deadman and Kitty Kuo on the turn. Kuo bet 235,000 out of the big blind and Deadman check-called. The river triggered another bet of Kuo for 700,000 and Deadman reluctantly folded.
The rail of Kuo cheered "oh yeah" and the British rail shot some banter with the "good fold Simon."
Martin Godsk raised from the button and Michael Wang moved all in, the players in the blinds folded and Godsk made the call.
Wang:
Godsk:
There was a sweat as usual on the board with a flush draw on the flop, but both the turn and the river blanked for Godsk. The stacks were counted and Wang had him covered by about one big blind with 2,725,000 in chips.
Down to three players and not short stacked anymore, Michael Wang suddenly plays by far more aggressive.
Kitty Kuo raised to 240,000 and Simon Deadman called in the big blind. On the flop, both players checked and Deadman then won the hand with a bet of 355,000 on the turn.
Soon after, Wang raised to 260,000 and Kuo defended her big blind to check-call 350,000 on the flop. After the turn, Kuo check-folded when Wang bet 640,000.
