Dugarbaatar Triples Up, Asakura to the Rail

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Lkhagvaa Dugarbaatar just moved all in under the gun plus one for 19,100, Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin moved all in over the top for 49,000 and Yasuyuki Sakura called all in for 30,000 chips and the all-in showdown between the three went as following.

Dugarbaatar: {K-Spades}{10-Spades}
Lin: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Sakura: {A-}{J-}

The board ran out {5-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and the king on the turn gave Dugarbaatar the main pot. Lin did not lose the maximum, but she was quite disappointed after this big chance to gather some chips.

Mo Eliminates Zhou

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Meikat Siu raised to 3,800 from middle position before Chang Zhou moved all in for his remaining 20,100 from the cut off. Yongwei Mo was on the button and looked down at her cards before moving all in for around 45,000 in chips. The deicision fell back on Siu who thought about her decision for a moment before letting go of her hand.

Zhou: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Mo: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} to see Mo hold with her kicker as Zhou was eliminated from the tournament.

Lin Gets a Double Up

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Celina Lin
Celina Lin

Lkhagvaa Dugarbaatar played some very interesting pots with Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang on Day 1a, and just now he clashed with Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin. Dugarbaatar limped before the flop and the action folded to Lin in the big blind, who opted to move all in for 23,400.

Dugarbaatar tanked for quite some time, but eventually he made the call.

Lin: {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Dugarbaatar: {Q-}{10-}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Lin managed to double her stack up leaving Dugarbaatar with very little chips.

Double E(Lim)ination For Tanaka

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Passing by Table 7 we noticed several players all in. Min Soon Lim had committed all his chips as did 2013 APPT Seoul champion Aaron Lim who had an additional 46,700 on top. Hiroyuki Tanaka had made the call covering both players.

Tanaka: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
A. Lim: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
M. Lim: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Tanaka was in great shape to take out two players but would've been nervous when the flop came down {9-Spades}{q-Spades}{8-Spades} giving Aaron Lim the flush draw. Fortunately for him the board ran out the {7-Clubs} and {9-Diamonds} to see him hold with the pair as he took out two players.

Tanaka now has 225,000 in chips and leads the pack heading into the first break of the day.

Huang Rising

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante
Bryan Huang
Bryan Huang

With over 35,000 in the pot and the board reading {j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} Yongwei Mo bet out 15,000 from under the gun and was called by Bryan Huang in middle position.

The {8-Diamonds} completed the board and both players quickly checked. Mo tabled her {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} but it would be no good against Huang’s {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} for a higher pair.

The PokerStars Team Pro is cruising early on on Day 2 as he moves up to 140,000 in chips.

Today's Schedule

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

APPT President Danny McDonagh just announced that there will be a maximum of 12 levels played today, with an extended break after the eighth level. If a final table is reached before the end of the 12th level play will also conclude for the day.

McDonagh thinks we will get close to a final table tonight, and at least get a lot further down in the structure compared to last year when 23 players returned on the final day. With the extended break of about 30 minutes after the eighth level we're looking at a finishing time of around 1:00 a.m. local time.

For players in the event, the last level of the day will be 5,000/10,000 with a 1,000 ante. With 10 players in the last level of the day the average stack would be 48 big blinds, which is right on par with the current average.
