Another Double on Table 31

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Eliminations do not occur on Table 31. Well, at least, they haven't for a long time. Instead the all in and at-risk player just keeps doubling.

It was Vincent Chua who found the double most recently. He three-bet all in for 210,000 from the button after Edison Nguyen had opened it up on the cut off. The play folded back around to Nguyen and he made the call.

Chua had {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} against Nguyen's {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}, with Chua doubling as the final table bubble continues.

Chua Now The Short Stack

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The dramatic action continues on Table 31!

This time it started with Wayde Rickhuss opening the button to 75,000. Edison Nguyen then moved all in for 390,000 from the small blind. Chua was in the big blind and moved all in over the top. Rickhuss folded and Nguyen was at risk.

Nguyen: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Chua: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

By the time a turn had ran out on a {4-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} board, it was looking like we would be at the final table. But then a {k-Clubs} completed the board on the river and Nguyen had doubled up. Chua is down to 215,000!

Stacks Even Out As Wayde Doubles

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

After several all ins at Table 31 the stacks have started to even out thanks to another double from Wayde Rickhuss.

It started with Vincent Chua opening to 75,000 from under the gun. The action folded around to Rickhuss in the small blind and he moved all in for 265,000. Chua made the call.

Rickhuss had {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} against Chua's {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

The {4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} board was safe for Rickhuss and good for a double up.

Meanwhile, the largest stack on Table 31 is smaller than the short stack on Table 28.

Rickhuss Gets Them Back

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

"I deserved that," Wayde Rickhuss said in jest, pointing to Edison Nguyen, after he tripled up.

Rickhuss moved all in for 100,000 from the cut off. Play folded to Vincent Chua in the small blind and he called. Cameron Bryce also called from the big blind and Rickhuss watched on as these two players checked down a {4-Spades}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Spades} board.

At showdown, Rickhuss tabled his {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and his two opponents mucked!

Edison Quickly Doubles

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Edison Nguyen has quickly doubled and Wayde Rickhuss is once again the short stack.

The action folded around to Rickhuss in the small blind and he moved all in. Nguyen, from the big blind, called off 115,000 in chips.

It was Nguyen's {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} against Rickhuss' {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

Luckily for Nguyen, the {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} board gave him what he needed to double up.

Vincent Chua Takes Edison's Chips

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The two most active players at Table 31 have just rumbled and as a result, Edison Nguyen is now short stacked.

It was a preflop raising war that saw Chua all in for 570,000. Nguyen had just under 700,000 behind.

Nguyen held {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}, while he had ran into Chua's {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.

The board ran out {9-}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and with that, Chua had doubled up to around 1.2 million.

Nguyen is now down to 120,000.
