Six-Figure Chew

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Stevan Chew is now up over six figures after winning a handy pot off Andrew Molodstov.

We picked up the action from the {7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop with a sizable pot already in the middle.

Molodstov, in the hijack, checked to Chew who bet 11,500. Eventually Molodstov called.

On the {4-Hearts} turn, it was once again checked to Chew and this time he bet a large 25,600.

Molodstov tanked for a long time, getting the chips ready in his hand before ultimately folding.

Chippies

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Approximate stacks of some players during the fourth level of Day 2.

Lim Building

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Reigning ANZ Player of the Year David Lim is up over 75,000 in chips after starting the day with just over 40,000.

We recently watched Lim rake in a pot against Tamara Volkoff on a {4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} board. Volkoff was on the button, while Lim was in the small blind. We arrived on the turn with both players checking. On the river, Lim check-called a bet of 5,000 and scooped the pot when his {j-Spades}{7-Spades} trumped Volkoff's {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}.

Mr. Bean's Story Ends

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Ronald Bean's tumultuous ride has come to an end... with Bryan Huang once again playing a starring role in his journey.

We missed the action, but apparently Bean's demise came when Ash Warner opened it up with a raise, which Huang three-bet to 6,800 from the button. Bean then three-bet all in for 21,000 from the small blind and Warner folded. Huang, meanwhile, called and for the second time against Bean, turned over {a-}{a-}!

This time Bean had {a-}{5-} and with no miracle on the board, he was eliminated.

Huang's stack is nearing 200,000.

Legg Up On The Competition

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

We arrived to find Anthony Legg and one opponent on the river of a {8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades} board. There was around 30,000 already in the middle when the player moved all in. Legg instantly called off his stack of 22,400 and tabled {q-Clubs}{10-Spades} for queen-high straight - enough to send his opponent's cards into the muck.

Bean Finds Double Through Huang

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Not long after he sent most of his big stack to Bryan Huang and Ronald Bean has found a double up after once again clashing with Huang.

This time Bean was all in preflop with {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} against Huang's {q-Spades}{9-Spades}/

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and Bean scooped the double.

Gift of Chips for Bryan Huang

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang is now far and away the chip leader after a big preflop battle saw almost 150 big blinds in the middle.

Generally in this situation it's a predictable pocket aces vs. kings.

Almost, but not quite.

We arrived at the table with Huang having six-bet an extra 66,200.

According to tablemate Ash Warner, the action prior to this point began with Huang opening to 2,700 which was three-bet to 6,600 by Ronald Bean on Huang's direct left. The action flew back around to Huang and he four-bet to around 13,000. Bean then five-bet to around 26,000 and this is when Huang moved all in for the extra 66,200.

Bean called, having a little more behind, and watched as Huang tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}.

Then Bean turned over his {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Huang got out of his chair and with a wry smile as if expecting the worst watched as the dealer spread out a {k-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs} board.

All was safe and the gigantic pot went to Huang.
