Meneleo Gloria
Meneleo Gloria

Meneleo Gloria moved all in for his remaining 22,700, both Aditya Sushant and one other opponent moved all in behind for more. Sushant would have both players at risk as they turned over their hands.

Meneleo Gloria: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Aditya Sushant: {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{9-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} as Gloria took down the main with his flopped pair of queens. Sushant would be on the losing end of both pots and would be left with only 8,000.

Tchong Takes Wang Out

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Loud gasps could be heard from one of the tables in the tournament room and Zhong Wang could be seen getting up from his chair.

The board read {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Wang had {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} in front of him in the under-the-gun position. Michael Kue Seong Tchong was sitting in the small blind and was stacking up chips and still had his {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} in front of him. Tchong turned a set of jacks which beat the trip fours that Wang had flopped.

Tumboli Catches a Bluff

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

The board read {j-}{8-}{8-}{7-}{8-}, an opponent raised before the flop and every street leading up to the river where he put Zarvan Tumboli all in for his remaining 40,000.

Tumboli made the call and his opponent turned over {k-}{10-} for king high. Tumboli laughed as he turned over {a-}{j-} for a full house and more than enough to double him up near the top of the pack.
