Shing Fung Lo limped from the cutoff for 16,000 and Leo Yan Ho Cheng moved all in out of the small blind for 275,000. "Rono" tanked for about two minutes, stacked out the chips for a call to see how much he would have left, and eventually mucked his cards.
Yaxi Zhu min-raised from the cutoff but released her cards when Jack Hu squeezed to 125,000 out of the small blind.
The eliminations keep flowing in quick succession and Tore Lukashaugen was the next to exit the tournament area. He three-bet shoved out of the small blind for what looked like 200,000 and initial raiser Marcus Lau snap-called for a reason:
Lukashaugen:
Lau:
The Malaysian was already way ahead preflop and cemented the lead with the flop. However, Lukashaugen had some hope with the turn and picked up four outs on a gutshot straight draw. It was the river that sent the Norwegian to the rail.
"Why can't I win a flip? At least it is better than busting with aces to kings," PokerStars Team Pro Celina Lin said after she was just being sent to the rail by Zhou Zhou. The latter had raised to 32,000 from the cutoff and Lin jammed for 131,000 out of the small blind with .
