Bansuan Bags A Big One

Allih Bansuan has doubled through Alexandr Tikholiz.

Preflop, Jojo Tech opened from the hijack to 37,000 with Bansuan calling from the cutoff. Action was then on Tikholiz who made it 100,000 to go from the button. Tech went into the tank for several minutes, before smashing his cards onto the table in aggravation, as he folded.

After Tech made the fold, Bansuan went into the tank and after while announced that he was all in for 232,500.

Tikholiz instantly made the call and tabled {A-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. While Bansuan rolled over his {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} to move Bansuan over 600,000. Tikholiz is down to 420,000.

Fan Wins a Race

Dong-bin Han is not afraid to gamble -- as Terry Fan just found out. Han opened with a standard raise before Fan moved all in for another 125,500. Han opted to call with {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} and found himself racing Fan's {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} He lost the race, {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}.

"The first time I scream -- WOO!" shouted Fan after the hand. "I usually don't get excited. Wow. I can't believe I won the race."

Winning the race pushed Fan up to about 300,000 in chips.

One Over Is Fine

Preflop, Sim Somyung open shoved from the cutoff to 100,000 and was called by David Hilton in the small blind.

Somyung: {10-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Hilton: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}, which was no help to Somyung. The turn {q-Diamonds} was a different story though, moving him into the lead in the hand.

The river {j-Diamonds} changed nothing, leaving Somyung to move up to around 210,000.

Danny McDonaugh helps Kevin Clark with some chip confusion
Danny McDonaugh helps Kevin Clark with some chip confusion
In a battle of the blinds, the chips were all in preflop for small blind Terry Fan and big blind Kevin Clark. Clark was the player at risk of elimination, but he had the best hand with {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. Fan could only muster up {K-Spades} {3-Diamonds}, which was not the winner on a board of {Q-Spades} {2-Spades} {2-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. There was some confusion counting down Clark's stack, but it was eventually correctly counted down at 116,500. Double that amount now.

Jack Ng Ace Magnet

Jack Ng
Jack Ng
"He never misses his ace" said Terry Fan, as Jack Ng rolled over his {A-Spades}{8-Spades} all in against Kevin Clark's {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

As if Fan was psychic the dealer flopped {j-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Diamonds}. Ng had flopped the world, and didn't look back through the {k-Diamonds} turn and {a-Clubs} river.

He moves up to about 210,000.

Dustin Dorrance-Bowman -- eliminated
Dustin Dorrance-Bowman -- eliminated
We're one step closer to the final table. Our two hyphenated players, Dustin Dorrance-Bowman and Dong-bin Han got the chips in the middle preflop with two big hands: pocket kings for Han and ace-king for Dorrance-Bowman. There was no ace anywhere on a board that double-paired, {3-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. Han's kings were good enough to send Dorrance-Bowman to the payouts table in 22nd place.
