A Bust and Chop

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Tomaz Yip opened to 3,500 from the hijack, before the player in the cut-off bumped it up to 9,500. The big blind then moved all in for 64,400 as Yip was left with a big decision. He quietly announced all in as well, and was met with the third all in on the table.

Yip: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Cut-Off: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Big Blind: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

With everyone all in, and the cards shown, the player with pocket jacks looked good for a triple-up, when the flop fell {3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}.

“Jack,” yelled Yip, as the dealer granted his request, turning the {J-Clubs}. Two players had now taken the lead with a straight, with the other player turning a set, and looking for a repeating card. The {9-Diamonds} completed the board, as one player was sent to the rail, with Yip and his other opponent chopping the pot.

Guerin Hits the Rail

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

The hand started with the player under the gun opening to 3,000, before being met with a raise to 6,600 from the player two seats down. The action arrived at Didier Guerin on the small blind, who moved all in for his last 19,900 in chips. The player sitting under the gun then went into the tank for almost 5-minutes, before releasing his hand, as the raiser made the call.

Guerin: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Opponent: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The over-pair would be the end of Guerin, as the board ran out {6-}{7-}{10-}{10-}{4-}.

Yip Slip

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

The action folded around to the player in the small blind, who opened with a bet of 3,700. Tomaz Yip was in the big blind, and made the call, as both players saw the flop come down {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. The quickest of continuation bets of 6,000 was met with a call, as the {5-Spades} fell on the turn. The player in the small blind almost broke his own world record for committing chips into the flop, moving all in for his last 20,000 the split second the dealer released the turn-card. Yip didn’t seem impressed, but made the call, as both players tabled their cards.

Yip: {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Opponent: {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Yip made a light call, and was unrewarded, as the river bricked the {Q-Diamonds}, dropping him down to 105,000 in chips.

The Rich Get Richer

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Tomaz Yip started proceedings with a bet of 3,000 from the hijack, and found a call from Jung Chou Lee in the cut-off. The action moved to Matt Carter on the big blind, who raised it up to 11,000. Yip made the call, before Lee took the chance to move all in for his remaining 43,200. With the decision back on Carter, he moved all in with his monstrous stack, forcing a fold from Yip.

Carter: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Lee: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The flop of {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} looked good for Lee, however, the {A-Diamonds} on the turn shot Carter to the lead, and when the {K-Hearts} completed the board, it was another player sent out the door, as Carter moves up to overwhelming chip-leader, with 260,000 in chips.

Break Time

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

The remaining players in today's field are on their first 10-minute break of the day. Looking up at the tournament clock, we've noticed that almost 50-runners have been eliminated in the first two levels of play.

Guerin Takes One Out

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

We arrived at the table to see Daniel Sing with his last 12,000 in the middle, with Didier Guerin making the call with a little bit more.

Sing: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Guerin: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

Sing took the lead for a split second, as the window card produced the {10-Diamonds}. But as the dealer continued the spread, the entire flop showed {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, keeping Guerin in the lead, as the board ran out the {4-Clubs} and {9-Hearts} to see him move up to 25,000 in chips.
