Tang Busts Peng

RazorSharpPro

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

There has been another all-in and a call resulting in another elimination, with China's Zhongcai Peng the man to hit the rail and Hong Kong's Danny Tang the man to send him there.

We are not sure who pulled the trigger first as the cards were on their backs as we arrived, but Peng was the shorter of the two stacks.

Zhongcai Peng:
Danny Tang:

Peng celebrated the flop with a fist bump but went from happiness to hopelessness with the arrival of the turn. The river completed the hand, and Peng's tournament and the field is now down to 12. Tang stacked up to 215,000.

Paik Gets Su

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Day 1 frontrunner Hao Su was unable to convert his chip lead into a cash, falling at the hands of Albert Paik, who was kind enough to give us all the gory details.

It was Hao raising initially from the cutoff, with Paik re-raising the button and Hao making the call. The flop fell and the action went check, bet, call. There was a on the turn and no betting and Hao shoved the river.

Paik called quickly with and that was it for Su, who is now out.

Ward Gets Chen

RazorSharpPro

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

James Chen will not be adding a fifth high roller title to his resume this week as the Taiwanese pro has just busted to New Zealand's Thomas Ward.

Chen was short and get his last 7.5 big blinds in pre-flop with but Ward woke up with one seat over. Both players hit a set on the flop, meaning Chen had to catch a one-outer to survive, but it did not materialize, bringing the field down to 15.

Hearts Good For Leow Not For Tang

RazorSharpPro

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

We caught the tail end of a huge hand that recently went down between Devan Tang and Ivan Leow that saw the Malaysian player earn a full double at Tang's expense. We missed all the action but Hong Kong's Danny Tang was kind enough to fill us in on the details.

It was Leow who was the instigator, opening the action from under-the-gun, with Tang defending from the big blind. The flop came down with Tang check-calling Leow's continuation bet and the came in on the turn. The betting pattern repeated with the river completing the hand.

This is when all the chips went in, and it was a bit of a cooler. Tang had for the rivered backdoor flush, but was trailing to Leow's with the Malaysian making the nuts to take a big bite out of Tang's stack and climb to near the top of the counts with a stack of 250,000. Tang still has chips, just not as many as before and dropped to 85,000.
