Jung Doubles with Fish Hooks

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Sunny Hyung Sun Jung opened for 7,500 from early position and then moved all in for 75,500 after Peter Ping San Chan three-bet to 21,500 from the small blind. Chan made the call and discovered he was way behind.

Jung: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Chan: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Jung was looking to dodge a six, and that's just what he did after the board ran out {10-Spades}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

Miao Surging

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Chenxiang Miao opened to 6,000 and Randy Lew called from the button before Yat Wai Cheng three-bet the big blind to 22,000. Miao called but Lew passed as the dealer spread a {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop with Cheng checking to Miao who bet out 35,000.

Cheng called, and when the {9-Diamonds} landed on the turn, he check-called 70,000 before the {4-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Cheng checked and Miao pushed out 180,000 which was met with a tank-fold from Cheng.

Fan Pushes

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Yifan Zheng opened to 5,000 from under the gun and Terry Fan made the call from the hi-jack to see a {5-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} flop fall.

Zheng continued for 5,000 only to have Fan raise to 15,000. With the action back on Zheng, he popped it up to 35,000 only to have Fan move all in for roughly 85,000. Zheng quickly mucked and slipped to 200,000 as Fan picked up the pot to move to 135,000 in chips.

Short Stack Doubles

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Yujung Choi got her stack of 26,700 all in preflop holding the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and was looking to stay alive against Ling Tong's {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. The {2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop was safe enough, but the {6-Hearts} turn did give Tong some chop outs. Much to Choi's delight, the {10-Hearts} river proved harmless and she staved off elimination.

Park Picks Off Tam's Bluff

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

On a board of {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} both Ro Woong Park and Andrew Kinwai Lam - the pre flop raiser - checked to Aidan Tam who bet out 9,000. Park check-raised to 20,000 and Lam passed before Tam made it 52,000 to go.

Park made the call and then checked the {9-Diamonds} on the river as Tam pushed out a bet of 75,500. Park went into the tank for several minutes before eventually making the call.

"You win!" announced Tam as he mucked his hand while slipping to 210,000 while Park was pushed the pot to move to 400,000 in chips.

Round for Round

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Now that we're two people from the money, APPT President Danny McDonagh has just announced that round-for-round play will be instituted. That means each table will play an entire orbit and then stop to allow the other tables to catch up.

Jung Gives It Up

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

With 100,000 or so already in the pot and a board reading {4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, Peter Ping San Chan slid out a huge bet, which was enough to cover his opponent, Sunny Hyung Sun Jung.

Jung was deep in the tank when we arrived, and he spent some time there while we watched. Eventually he decided to fold and preserve his remaining 66,000 chips.

Winfred Walks

Winfred Yu
Winfred Yu

Tore Lukashaugen opened to 6,000 and was called by Aidan Tam and Ro Woong Park before Winfred Yu made it 16,000 to go from the cutoff.

Lukashaugen folded but both Tam and Park called as the dealer spread a {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop with Tam checking and Park betting out 25,000. Yu took some time before moving all in for an additional 36,000 as Tam quickly folded. Park deliberated for nearly two minutes before making the call to put Yu at risk.

Yu: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Park: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

With Yu drawing, the {7-Spades} and {3-Diamonds} wouldn't be what he was after, and thus, would be sent to the rail in 28th place as Park climbed to 220,000 in chips.

Krupin KO'd

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Stephane Blouin raised to 5,100 and Ilya Krupin moved all in for 8,600. From the button Yifan Zheng called, as did Blouin before the {2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} board was checked down.

Krupin tabled his {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Blouin his {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, but it would Zheng's {A-Spades}{9-Spades} that would see him scoop the pot and send Krupin to the rail.
