Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Daniel Demicki raised to 3,000 on the button and Kwok Chun Yip shoved all in from the big blind. It was 22,500, and Demicki thought briefly before flicking in calling chips.

Demicki: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Yip: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flip went Demicki's way as he flopped a set and turned a boat on the {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{a-Spades} runout.

No Sweat for Yoshioka

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

In a pot that saw both players put in 14,000 preflop, Shigeho Yoshioka checked in the small blind and then called 12,000 from a middle-position opponent on the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{q-Clubs} flop. Yoshioka checked the {7-Spades} turn and his opponent slid in all of his chips. Yoshioka quickly called and showed {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for queens full. He was up against {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for a dead flush draw. The river was a {6-Hearts}.

Yoshioka's stack was counted down and proved to be 57,000. His opponent had about 48,000 and sent it all over.

Chan Eliminates One

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Justin Chan, pictured at a different event.

A player in the small blind bet 7,000 on an {8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, and Justin Chan thought awhile and made it 15,600 to go. The other player shoved all in for around 70,000, and Chan double-checked his cards and snap-called.

Chan: {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Small blind: {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Chan had the small blind crushed, and the {6-Hearts} on the turn meant the {6-Clubs} river was a mere formality.

Yuki Ko

A player on the button opened for 4,200 and Yuki Ko defended the big blind. The flop came down {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades} and both players checked. Ko checked the {6-Clubs} turn and saw his opponent bet 5,000. Ko made it 14,000 and got called. The river was a {6-Hearts} and Ko asked to see his opponent's stack. It looked like about 43,000. After a few moments, Ko said he was all in. The player on the button called in fairly short order but Ko tabled {j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for quads.
