Cardyn Drops

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Nicolas Cardyn
Nicolas Cardyn

Nicolas Cardyn raised to 5,500 from under the gun and watched as the table folded around to the player in the big blind. He made the call before both players watched the flop come down {9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The big blind then led out for 6,500 which was called before the {2-Spades} fell on the turn. Another bet of 13,800 followed which Cardyn called. The dealer rolled over the {10-Hearts} on the river and the player in the big blind didn't hesitate in betting another 22,000 in chips. Cardyn snap called, much to the disappointment of his opponent, who reluctantly turned over his {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for trip tens with an ace kicker.

However, it was enough to take down the pot, as Cardyn then threw his cards into the muck. He now has 200,000 in chips shortly after coming back from break.

Lee Doubles Through Jiang

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Start-of-the-day chip leader Jia Liang has dropped below average. He opened the action with a raise to 5,500 and called the three-bet worth 14,800 by Daniel Lee. On the {7-Spades}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop, Liang check-called a bet worth 13,000 and then faced the all in of Lee on the {2-Spades} turn.

The Chinese asked for a count and it was 37,200 to call, which did take place after approximately 30 seconds.

Lee: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Jiang: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}

The flush draw bricked, as the board completed with the {5-Diamonds} river and Lee is now above average.

A Bounty for Li

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Jia Liang opened to 5,500 from under the gun and Heyu Li flat-called before a short stack pushed all in from one seat over for 25,000. Liang mucked but Li opted for the call with {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. It was a flip against the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} of the player at risk and Li spiked both over cards straight away on the {J-Spades}{A-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop.

Neither the {7-Hearts} turn nor the {6-Hearts} river changed anything and Li improved to an above-average stack.

Enkhbat Nanzaddorj open-shoved for 31,200 and was flat-called by the player from one seat over as well as Jia Liang in the big blind. The two remaining active players checked down the {3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} board and Nanzaddorj showed {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}. His opponent from one seat over mucked and Liang had no better hand either, he flashed {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}.

Zhang Eliminates Fumagalli

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Fabio Fumagalli
Fabio Fumagalli

The player under the gun plus one raised it up to 5,200 before Weiyi Zhang bumped it up to 13,000 from the button. Fabio Fumagalli was in the small blind and moved all in for his remaining 29,300 in chips. With the decision back on the original raiser, he thought for a minute, before releasing his hand. Zhang took a moment to take everything in before making the call.

Fumagalli: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Zhang: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Fumagalli was in front with his ace high until the board came down {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Zhang spiked a nine on the flop to take the lead and end up with the pot following the hand.

Desperation Sets In

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Jia Liang tried to steal the pot on an {A-}{Q-}{9-}{3-}{8-} board with a bet of 15,500, however table neighbor Kwet Yoong Lim Sam made the call and flashed his {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Normally Liang would have had to show first as last aggressor on the river, but now simply mucked his cards and fell down even further in the counts.
