Richard Yong Eliminated from Secondary Table

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

As the action on the secondary table unfolded, Richard Yong lost his three attempts and has been mostly railing his son after busting his first entry.

Yong's 134,000 was first chopped by Ben Lamb and Beh Kok Weng after a three-way preflop contest. Lamb had {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} while Beh showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Yong had just {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and he couldn't get there on {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{7-Spades}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. Lamb spiked a lucky river to split the pot with Beh.

The second hand saw Yong get his last 78,000 in the pot with {9-Spades}{7-Spades} on {6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and Lamb reshoved for 233,000 with {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Beh closed the action with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}, calling his 190,000 with the middle set. He scooped it all after the rest of the board ran out {A-Hearts} and {6-Spades}.

Badziakouski Loses Bullet No.3, Re-Enters

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

Ivan Leow limped in from the third position with pocket sixes and Nick Schulman jammed for 152,000 in the cutoff, holding {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Mikita Badziakouski called for 100,000 with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Leow escaped.

Badziakouski stayed ahead on the flop and turn as the {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades} texture didn't hurt him. He needed to fade a paint card on the river but he couldn't do so as the {K-Spades} locked the win for Schulman.

Badziakouski lost his final bullet and immediately re-entered for another HKD 100,000.

Cao Gets a Massive Double Through Yong

Level 5 : 0/0, 3,000 ante

Wai Kin Yong raised to 34,000 from early position and action folded to Rui Cao who moved all in for 436,000 in late position. Action folded back to Yong and he dropped into the tank.

"Ten-Jack?" Cao asked as Yong sat in the tank. He thought for a few more seconds then slammed in the chips to call.

Rui Cao: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Wai Kin Yong: {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Cao was right about Yong's hand but still needed to fade to double up. The flop was {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs} which gave Yong some outs to a straight but kept him behind. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and that gave him a double gutshot now.

"Eight, queen, eight, queen," Yong chanted

The river was the {6-Spades} and that wasn't one of Yong's outs. He was forced to double up Cao who moved over 900,000 after entering the tournament a short time ago.

Wai Yong Keeps Piling Up

Level 5 : 0/0, 3,000 ante

Wai Yong and Lim Chin Wei were all in preflop with Lim at risk for just under 200,000.

Lim: {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Yong: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The flop of {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} was good enough for Yong but the {10-Diamonds} pushed Lim ahead.

"Oooh," Yong said, adding: "Nine!"

And the dealer obliged, pulling out the {9-Clubs} to give Yong a straight. Yong collected the pot and vaulted over 900,000 while Lim used his ticket to get a new 100,000.

Leow Forces a New Bullet from Badziakouski

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski open-shoved for 118,000 in the third position and the action stopped at Ivan Leow on the button. He asked for a count and then called.

Badziakouski: {J-Spades}{10-Spades}
Leow: {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}

"Ace, king, queen?" Badziakouski asked and he almost got what he wished for as the flop came down {K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{A-Hearts}. However, the queen remained missing even after the turn and river as the {6-Diamonds} and {10-Diamonds} completed the board.

Leow increased his stack to 442,000 and Badziakouski fired one more attempt to continue with 100,000.

Ivey Loses Second Bullet, Almost

Level 5 : 0/0, 3,000 ante

Phil Ivey limped in from early position and Rui Cao moved all in from the next seat to act. Action folded around back to Ivey and he snap-called.

Phil Ivey: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Rui Cao: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

The board came down {Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Cao rivered a straight to take the most of Ivey's second bullet. Ivey was left with just 8,000 after the hand while Cao doubled to around 470,000.
