Troyanovskiy Busts to Yam

Level 12 : 900/1,800, 200 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy is gone!
Vladimir Troyanovskiy is gone!

Edward Chun Ho Yam and Vladimir Troyanovskiy each put in 35,300 preflop and saw a flop of {k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Spades}, which they both checked. When the dealer burned and turned the {8-Diamonds}, Yam led out for 21,000 and Troyanovskiy called, leaving himself 30,000 or so behind.

"All in," Yam said once the {4-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Troyanovskiy gently tossed in a few chips to signal a call, but he chucked his cards to the muck in frustration when Yam rolled over the {k-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for the win.

Shi Shoves Into the Flopped Nuts

Level 12 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

We're not sure of the exact action, but we do know that Liang Shi shoved the turn for roughly 60,000 on a board reading {8-Spades}{k-Spades}{6-Spades}{q-Hearts}. Devan Tang snap-called with the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} for the nuts, which of course bested Shi's {k-}{7-}. The meaningless {4-Diamonds} was run out on the river for good measure, and then Shi took his leave from the tournament.

Antío Apostolidis

Level 12 : 900/1,800, 200 ante
David Martirosyan
David Martirosyan

On a flop of {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades} with around 12,000 in the middle, Ioannis Apostolidis open shoved 70,600 from the big blind into the original raiser David Martirosyan.

Martirosyan went into the tank for several minutes before eventually making the call to put Apostolidis at risk.

Apostolidis: {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Martirosyan: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The turn brought the {7-Spades} giving Martirosyan a straight as the {7-Hearts} on the river improved his hand to a flush to send the player formally known as "Furniture" John to the rail while Martirosyan moved to 230,000 in chips.

Last Year's Runner Up Sent Packing

Level 12 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

Last year, Andy Ying Kit Chan of Hong Kong finished runner-up in this very event for $454,808 (thanks to a heads-up deal and a flip for the title). Chan had his eyes fixed on another deep run, but any hope of that happening just went up in flames.

It happened after Ro Woong Park got his stack all in holding the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Chan put him at risk with {a-}{k-}. Park doubled on the hand after the board ran out {7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}, and Chan was crippled. He would bust in the very next hand.

Ohyama Eliminated

Level 12 : 900/1,800, 200 ante
Akira Ohyama
Akira Ohyama

Yujung Choi got her stack of 27,000 all in preflop holding the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} and was up against the {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} of Akira Ohyama, who barely had her covered. Choi was looking to avoid any tomfoolery, and that's just what she did after the board ran out an uninspiring {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

Ohyama was left with just 3,100, and they disappeared on the very next hand when he was committed in the small blind.

Peng Folds to Tang

Level 11 : 700/1,400, 200 ante
Devan Tang
Devan Tang

Devan Tang opened to 2,800 only to have Cheryl Peng three-bet next to act to 5,900. Tang called, and on a {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop check-called a 4,100-chip bet from Peng.

The turn of the {Q-Spades} saw Tang check and Peng fire once again, this time for 7,400. Tang however responded by check-raising to 21,700 to put Peng into the tank for nearly two minutes before she released her hand to slip below 100,000 in chips.
