A Double for Sim

[user67765]

Eugene Borukhov raised to 12,000 from under the gun before So Myung Sim moved all in for 40,000 from the small blind. Borukhov made the call.

Sim: {10-Spades}

Borukhov:

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}

and Sim's tens hold up to give him a much needed double, back to 80,000 in chips.

Redraw in Progress

[user75032]

With the elimination of Quinn Do and Keith Wintermans, only 23 players remain. Since we're playing eight-handed, that means it's time for a table redraw, which is currently in progress. The clock is paused with 37:15 remaining in Level 16. Once the redraw is completed we will bring you the new seat assignments.

Keith Wintermans Eliminated in 24th Place ($9,725)

[user67765]

On a board of {2-Hearts}

Keith Wintermans fired out a bet of 115,000 and Diwei Huang moved all in, covering Wintermans who made the call for his tournament life.

Both players held a flush but Winterman's {Q-Spades}

wasn't enough to beat the nut flush for Huang with {K-Spades}

. Wintermans hits the rail in 24th place as Huang rakes in a mountain of chips.

Quinn Do Eliminated in 25th Place ($8,104)

[user75032]

Quinn Do was the shortest of all the stack entering play today. He survived through 13 eliminations, earning some extra cash for his ninja-like survival ability, but he has been eliminated.

He opened the pot for 15,000. Mudasser Khan, on the button, reraised to 63,000, enough to put Do all in. Do made the call with {A-Diamonds}

and found himself up against Khan's pocket sevens. There was no love for either player on a ten-high board. Khan has chipped up to 160,000 at the expense of Do, who has been eliminated from the tournament.

John Juanda Eliminated in 26th Place ($8,104)

[user67765]

John Juanda hasn't been able to get much going today and finally made a move with his short stack holding {K-?}

but David Steicke made the call from the small blind with {J-Clubs}

.

The board of {10-Diamonds}

was no help to Juanda and we lose one of the premiere international players in this tournament in 26th place.

[user75032]

Kejing Tang, who came into play today as one of the shorter stacks, hung on for as long as he could but has finally succumbed. He was eliminated in 27th place and will walk away from this tournament with prize money of $8,104.

Carter Gill Can't Win

[user75032]

It's been a trying afternoon for Carter Gill. He opened yet another pot, this time to 20,000 from the button, only to have Kuok Wai Will Cheong move all in for 108,000 from the big blind. Gill made the call with {3-Diamonds}

and was racing against Cheong's {A-Diamonds}

.

Gill was pumped to hit a set on the {3-Hearts}

flop, whooping and hollering. He called out, "No ten!" as the dealer burned and turned the turn card, but it was the {10-Spades}

. Even louder, he implored the dealer, "No jack!" No such luck for Gill -- the river was the {J-Hearts}

to make a queen-high straight for Cheong.

Cheong now improbably finds himself with 222,000 chips, while Gill has slipped to 90,000 and continues to steam. On the three hands immediately after this hand, Gill has looked at one card and then mucked before the dealer has even completed the deal.

Gill Absolutely Steamed

[user75032]

Yet again, Carter Gill opened a pot for 10,000. This time, it wasn't Quinn Do who reraised him. It was Kuok Wai Will Cheong, who reraised all in to 47,500, and Kevin MacPhee, who reraised all in over Cheong to 210,000.

After MacPhee raised, Gill stood up from the table and let fly a string of expletives. "Look!" he said, showing {A-Spades}

in his hand. "I'm not raising light!" He continued on a tirade for about a minute, saying that he hoped MacPhee didn't have ace-queen or tens, then angrily threw his cards into the muck and slammed his chair down on the floor.

With Gill out of the way, Cheong and MacPhee opened their hands: {A-Diamonds}

for Cheong and {A-Clubs}

for MacPhee. Cheong was the winner by making a pair of eights on a board of {9-Diamonds}

. Gill seemed pleased that he didn't commit the chips and lose the hand, but went for a walk around the tournament area after the pot had been pushed to Cheong in order to try to regain some composure.
