Albert Paik Eliminated in 24th Place (₩3,640,000)

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Albert Paik
Albert Paik

Action folded around to Albert Paik in the cutoff and he shoved for 76,000. After a bit of thought, Taehoon Han called from the button to put Paik at risk. The blinds got out of the way and the two players tabled their hands.

Paik: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Han: {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Paik had the preflop advantage with the better ace, but the flop came {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts} to pair Han's ten and give him the lead. The {A-Hearts} turn and {9-Clubs} river were no help to Paik and Han took the pot to send him to the cage.

Tsoyi Eliminated to Force Redraw

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Roman Tsoyi defended his big blind from an under-the-gun open and then shoved all in for about 60,000, a little over the size of the pot. The flop had come {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Tsoyi got snap-called by a player with {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. Tsoyi had {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and he got turned dead when the {a-Hearts} hit.

Left with 2,000, Tsoyi busted the next hand.

Janik Doubles with the Better Two Pair

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Scott Janik
Scott Janik

With about 45,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, Scott Janik was on the button and heads-up with the player in the big blind, who checked. Janik bet 16,000 and his opponent check-raised to 56,000. Janik jammed and the big blind called to put him at risk.

Janik: {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Big blind: {8-}{7-Clubs}

Both players had flopped two pair but Janik had the best of it with top and bottom against his opponent's bottom two. The {2-Clubs} turn and {3-Clubs} river changed nothing and Janik took the pot to double up.

Noda Sends One Home

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Hiroyuki Noda
Hiroyuki Noda

With about 40,000 chips already in the middle on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} action checked to Hiroyuki Noda in middle position and he bet 13,000. The button folded and the player in the big blind called.

The turn brought the {7-Spades} and the big blind checked. Noda shoved to put his opponent to a decision for the remainder of his stack, which was approximately 160,000, and he quickly called.

Noda: {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Big blind: {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Noda was behind his opponent's turned two pair but could improve with a ten, queen, or club to take the pot, so he had quite a few outs. The {9-Clubs} river was one of them and Noda took the pot with a queen-high flush to eliminate his opponent.

Takashi Ogura

With a substantial pot already brewing and the completed board reading {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Takashi Ogura was in the big blind and heads-up against Weikuo Hsiao in the hijack who had bet enough to put Ogura to a decision for his stack. Ogura went into the tank and the clock had been called when we got to the table. As the last ten seconds ticked down, Ogura called. Hsiao flipped over {J-}{J-} for top set and Ogura showed {K-Diamonds}{10-} as he stood up.
