Trickey's Aces Cracked

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Hui Wang moved all in for his remaining 15,000 from under the gun as the action folded around to Milton Wayne Trickey on the button. He called before the players in the blinds got out of the way.

Trickey: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Wang: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Another elimination looked inevitable until the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Wang had spiked a queen on the flop and eventually rake in the pot moving himself up to 33,000 in chips. Trickey drops down to 14,000 following the hand.

Liu With Spectacular Hero Call

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Picking up the action on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{A-Clubs}, Qu Liu led for 1,700 out of the small blind and Zhifeng Yao min-raised to 3,400. His opponent called to see the {9-Spades} on the turn. Liu check-raised from 5,100 to 13,600 and was called by Yao to see the {3-Diamonds} river complete the board.

Liu checked and Yao now fired 18,200 in a last attempt to steal the pot. To the surprise of everyone on the table, Liu made the call and tabled {Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} as the winner!!! Yao had been caught bluffing with {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

Red Chips in Play

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

At the start of Day 2, some players had showed up with red chips that were not yet introduced into the tournament before. Those are worth 25,000 and one or two may make a huge difference at the current stage.

Good Flop for Mu

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Arriving on the river of a {2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{A-Hearts} board, Dapeng Mu led for 10,000 out of the small blind and Yanzhong Tong reluctantly called from two seats over as initial preflop aggressor. Mu flipped over {A-Spades}{2-Spades} for two pair after a huge draw on the flop and table neighbor Ronald Chun Long Yu nodded with the words "good flop, very good flop."

Chan With Aces

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

The cards of Yue Wang were already in the muck but he had tried to knock out Justin Pak Kwan Chan with {A-}{K-} and the latter was more than happy to call off for his remaining stack with the {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. The board ran out {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Chan doubled. His countryman Gab Yong Kim also more than doubled his initial stack from today.

Yan Triples

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

After a raise by Longjie Li, Chen Zhi Yan got his remaining few chips in and Yanzhong Tong also called out of the blinds. They checked down the {9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{K-Diamonds} flop and Li then bet the {4-Clubs} turn for 10,000 with Tong check-folding. Li flipped over {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} but Yan's {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} held up thanks to a brick on the river.
