and Lee's ![]()
scored the second double up in very short time as the board ran out ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
.
Almost exactly at the end of the hand, Xiao Tian Yang had busted on the next table and Advani grinned over with his last 10,000 chips, 5,000 were gone for the ante already. "Are we 10 left?" he asked and once that was confirmed he moved all in from the button.
Hayato Kitajima called in the small blind for the mandatory 30,000 and Douglas Olsson checked the big blind. The ![]()
![]()
flop was checked and Olsson's minimum bet of 30,000 on the
turn made Kitajima fold. The Swede turned over ![]()
for the nut straight and Advani was drawing dead with the ![]()
.
The
river was just a formality and there is now a 35-minute break until 18:30 local time until the start of the official final table.

Yang was caught with the fingers in the cookie jar and sheepishly turned over his ![]()
. Both players hit the ![]()
![]()

After the previous action with Iona Finkenrath, Seung Soo Jeon raised from the hijack and faced the 121,000-three-bet of Aaron Lim from one sear over. Jeon moved all in and Lim quickly pushed forward his stack for the call.
Jeon: ![]()
![]()
Lim: ![]()
![]()
A loud sigh from Jeon emerged and the ![]()
![]()
flop was a disaster for him. It was all over after the
turn and Lim even made the nut flush with the
river. Once the stacks were counted, Lim was all in for 496,000 and Jeon had less than two big blinds left.
The next hand the Korean moved all in blind for 35,000 and laughed. "No need to look." Winfred Yu clicked it to 48,000 from the button and Terry Fan called in the big blind. Both players checked down the ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
board and Yu showed his ![]()
first. Then Fan tabled ![]()
for a straight and Jeon finally turned over his cards, smashing the ![]()
to the table. What a drama ...
Down to 12 players!
