Level: 21

Blinds: 6,000/12,000

Ante: 1,500

Jonathan Depa Eliminated in 6th Place (HKD$990,000)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jonathan Depa - 6th Place
Jonathan Depa - 6th Place

Yifan Zheng opened for 20,000 from the cutoff and Jonathan Depa, who was the chip leader at the end of Day 3 with 25 players remaining, opted to move all in from the button for 230,000. Devan Tang then moved all in over the top from the small blind, which inspired Zheng to fold.

Tang: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Depa: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

It was a classic flip, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Tang was a 56.65% favorite while Depa would survive 42.95% of the time. The {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop paired Depa's king and made him a huge 87.07% favorite. Tang suddenly needed either a jack or running clubs to stay alive — something that would happen a mere 12.93% of the time.

The {4-Clubs} turn was a great card for Tang as it kept the latter option alive, and suddenly he had a 25% chance of eliminating Depa. Wouldn't you know it, the {7-Clubs} spiked on the river to give Tang the flush. Depa was clearly unsatisfied with the turn of events, but he had to console himself with HKD$990,000 for his sixth-place finish.

Aces for Sunny

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded around to Yoshitaka Okawa in the small blind who raised to 31,000. Sunny Jung looked down at his cards in the big blind and upped the price to 96,000 to go. Okawa called and the flop landed {Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

Okawa checked and Jung bet out 95,000. The Japanese player made the call and the turn was the {K-Diamonds}. Both players tapped the table before the {10-Spades} fell on the river. Okawa checked and Jung confidently moved a bet of 165,000 into the middle. Okawa made the call but Jung showed the big guns – {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} – to take it down as Okawa takes another hit.

Okawa slips to 1.05 million with Jung now pushing one million in chips.

Straight for Zheng

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Yifan Zheng opened with a raise from the cutoff position and Yoshitaka Okawa made the call in the big blind to see a flop of {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

Okawa check-called for 23,000 before both players checked the {K-Hearts}. When the {J-Spades} appeared, Okawa tapped the table for a third time as Zheng slid out a bet of 55,000. Okawa thought for a moment before making the call, but mucked at the sight of Zheng’s {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

Zheng is now up to 2.1 million with Okawa slipping to 1.4 million.

Zheng Rivers Depa in Monster Pot

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Yifan Zheng
Yifan Zheng

Devan Tang opened to 20,000 from under the gun only to have Yifan Zheng three-bet the small blind to 55,000. With the action on Jonathan Depa in the big blind, he four-bet to 116,000 to force Tang's cards into the muck. Zheng deliberated for nearly a minute before making the call as the dealer dropped a {3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop.

Zheng checked and Depa continued for 92,000 only to have Zheng check-raise to 225,000. Depa called as the {3-Spades} landed on the turn and Zheng pushed out 200,000.

Depa thought deeply for nearly two minutes before making the call as the {K-Spades} completed the board on the river and Zheng pushed out 300,000.

Leaning back in his chair to look at Zheng, Depa went deep into the tank for several minutes before pushing out calling chips.

Zheng immediately flipped over his {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for a rivered two pair as Depa stood up in disgust and threw his hands on his head before returning to the table to kick his cards to the muck. As Zheng scooped the pot to climb over the 2 million chip mark, Depa was left with just 230,000 in chips.

Zheng Takes Another Hit; Relinquishes Chip Lead

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Yifan Zheng opened for 20,000 and received a call from Yoshitaka Okawa on the button. Sunny Hyung Sun Jung and Yat Wai Cheng then came along from the small and big blinds respectively, and four players saw the flop come down {9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Two checks saw Zheng bet 30,000, Okawa call, and Jung get out of the way. Cheng then woke up with a check-raise to 90,000, Zheng called, and Okawa folded.

Both players checked the {9-Spades} turn, and then Cheng led out for 100,000 on the {10-Clubs} river. Zheng called but mucked just as soon as Cheng tabled the {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.

Zheng Takes a Hit

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Yoshitaka Okawa opened for 26,000 under the gun only to have Yifan Zheng three-bet to 55,000 from the button. The blinds folded, Okawa called, and it was heads-up action to the {5-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop. Okawa proceeded to check-call a bet of 55,000 and then both players checked the {6-Diamonds} turn.

When the {8-Clubs} completed the board on the river, Okawa led out for 70,000 and Zheng popped it to 200,000. Okawa made the call and was glad he did as his {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} bested the {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds} of Zheng.
