Aces for Popovich

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

It was a rather loose call by the opponent of Petro Popovich after the latter had three-bet shoved for 89,500 with {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. He faced {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and scooped a nice double up after the board ran out {Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

Yu Priced In

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Ronald Chun Long Yu had squeezed to 20,000 preflop and got rid of one opponent but his other rival went along to see a flop of {J-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Yu continued for 21,000 and his opponent shoved for another 58,000 on top. Figuring that his eight was good most of the time and considering the pot odds, Yu made the call with {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

The opponent turned over {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} for the gotshut and indeed got there with the perfect {9-Spades} turn card. Only a ten could avoid a huge setback for Yu, but the {3-Spades} river bricked and sent him back down to 150k.

Zhao With Sheer Pressure

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Fan Zhao is making a run for the chip lead. On a {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} flop he check-raised from 17,500 to 40,000 out of the blinds and was called before leading the {K-Spades} turn for 60,000. His opponent mucked and Zhao is up to heaps.

Campomanes Rivers Kim

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After a three-way flop of {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and a pot of about 35,000 chips, Gab Yong Kim faced the check-raise all in of Florencio Campomanes for 81,500 chips. Kim eventually made the call with {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for top pair and Campomanes turned over his {A-Spades}{7-Spades} for the flush draw.

It was no spade that hit, but instead the {6-Clubs} turn and {A-Diamonds} river completed the board to send Kim back to the short stack.

Mu Eliminates Yu

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Dapeng Mu raised from the cut off before Nan Yu moved all in for his remaining 90,500 in chips from the big blind. Mu had the bet just covered and made the call before both players tabled their cards.

Mu: {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Yu: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds} to see Mu spike an ace on the flop to send Yu to the rail.

Fu Busts Jiang and Fam in Huge Pot

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Xiaohua Fu
Xiaohua Fu

Sihai Jiang open-shoved from under the gun for what looked like 55,000 chips and Xiaohua Fu flat-called on the button. Kai Yat Fam then glanced at his cards and reshoved out of the big blind to isolate the short stack. Fu snap-called and that is always a very bad sign.

Jiang: {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Fam: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Fu: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

There was no help on the {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades} board and Fu jumped to incredible 740,000 in chips.

Brion Busts in Unlucky Fasion

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Adrian Brion
Adrian Brion

Adrian Brion had already shoved for 27,500 without getting called and three hands later he moved all in again, this time for 38,000. He was called by Alex Xiang Wei Lee on the button and turned over {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Lee was way ahead with the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} but Brion improved on the {5-Hearts}{J-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop.

Unfortunately, the {4-Diamonds} turn and {3-Diamonds} river gave Lee the lead once again with a straight and Brion headed to the payout desk.

Gu Applies The Pressure

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Huidong Gu
Huidong Gu

With 59,000 in the pot and the flop showing {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Spades} Geng Liu bet out 33,000. His opponent in the hand was Huidong Gu who raised it up to 73,000 after thinking about his decision for a minute.

Liu took his time in making the call before the dealer produced the {k-Spades} on the turn. Liu checked prompting Gu to move all in for 155,000 in chips. Liu contemplated the call but mucked instead as he relinquished the pot to Gu.

Chan Takes Out Two In Quick Succession

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Jordan Kaplan
Jordan Kaplan

Ren Xingrong moved all in for his remaining 57,500 in chips from under the gun and was called by Wai Leong Chan on the button.

Xingrong: {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Chan: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Xingrong looked like he was out the for until the flop came down {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} giving him a pair of threes and the lead. He jumped out of his chair and gave out a cheer, but that didn't last long, as the dealer produced the {j-Hearts} on the turn to give the lead back to Chan. Xingrong was not drawing dead, as he outs to a flush as well, but that didn't come as the {7-Spades} completed the board.

Moment later, Jordan Kaplan committed his remaining 75,000 with {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and was up against Chan’s {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

The board would then run out {3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{k-Spades} to see Chan catch a queen on the flop to win the hand with a higher pair. He now sits behind a stack totalling 400,000 in chips.
