Li Longyun and Jun Wang are playing quite a few pots against each other since that flush over flush confrontation earlier and we caught the two battling again at the close of level 23.
Pre-flop it was Wang who was the initial aggressor, making it 45,000 to go from the cutoff and action folded around to Li in the big blind, who quickly reached for raising chips, making it 150,00 to go.
Wang thought it over for a minute or so before counting out the call and it was heads-up to a flop of . Li took his time over the correct bet sizing and eventually chose to continuation bet 140,000, which sent Wang into the tank.
Wang began quizzing Li about his hand and the two had a little bit of back and forth banter while the clock ticked over into level 24 before Wang eventually decided to pick a better spot and let it go.
A sizable pot has recently played out between Yuhei Sanada and Zhong Yuan Hang and we picked up the action on the turn.
With the community cards spread Sanada had fired for 160,000 into a pot of over 200,000 and Hang was mulling over his decision.
Eventually, the Chinese player came to one and re-raised to 350,000 in total and it was Sanada’s turn to tank, though not for long and he eventually gave it up, leaving Hang to scoop the chunky pot.
A massive hand played out between Li Longyun and Jun Wang that saw the two swap places in the pecking order. We arrived as the stacks were being counted down with the board reading .
All the chips went in on the flop with Longyun the man to shove first with for the nut flush draw and with chips to spare Wang had looked him up with a dominated flush draw.
While Wang had paired his eight on the turn Longyun spiked the ace on the river to take a big bite out of Wang’s stack. Wang had just over 1 million after the hand while Longjun doubled to 1.85 million.
While this was going on we lost the unfortunate Lin Zhi, and while we do not know the details of his exit hand we do know that it was Japan’s Yuehei Sanada who was the man to show him the door and the Japanese player now has around 800,000 in chips.
Zhu Qi’s seat is now empty and Liu Lifu is stacking up a lot of chips as we arrived on table one. It was Lifu who was the instigator according to Hong Kong’s Anson Tsang, opening with a raise to roughly 50,000 and Qi shipped in the last of his chips with ace-queen.
Unfortunately for Qi, Lifu had a huge hand and called instantly with pocket kings and with no ace making an unwelcome appearance we lose another and are now down to 17.
Zhenyu Gu was the tournaments shortest stack and has just wandered past the media desk to collect the HK$71,000 on offer for 19th place.
One of the tournament staff congratulated Gu on making the money but the Chinese player did not look all that thrilled about busting, to be honest, so we’re not sure ‘Congratulations sir!’ is really what you want to hear when you have just been unceremoniously ejected from the running.
There are now 18 left and there has been yet another redraw, which we will endeavor to bring you shortly.
Players were just headed off on their 10-minute break, but not Xixiang Luo and Jun Wang who played a massive pot that saw Luo head for the rail. We are not sure what the pre-flop action was exactly, but we do know that Wang raised from the button pre-flop with and Luo woke up in the big blind with .
We arrived on the river with the board spread just as stacks were being counted down. Unfortunately for Luo, Wang had him covered and had hit the straight on the turn to bring Luo’s tournament to a close.
