Wang Grabs the Lead

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ye Wang has won a couple of pots, and now he is up to 540,000, positioned as the chip leader of the event.

In the biggest of his recent pots, he was against Sahil Chuttani, and hit a flush on the turn, after defending from the big blind. He led both turn and river, for 28,000 and 108,000 respetively, with Chuttani calling both streets to see the bad news.

The bubble play continues, with Xingbiao Zhu as the shortest stack.

Hao Tian Forces Unexpected Fold

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A hand that could have caused Hao Tian's elimination, ended with Xingbiao Zhu folding the best hand. Zhu raised preflop to 15,000 from middle position, with Hao Tian calling from the button and Sahil Chuttani completing from the big blind.

The flop was {10-Spades}{j-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and Zhu bet 33,000 with only Hao Tian calling. The turn brought the {4-Clubs} and Zhu bet 52,000 this time, with Tian calling again.

The {8-Hearts} completed the board on the river and Zhu checked this time, with Hao Tian announcing all in. Zhu didn't think about it for long and folded his cards, while Tian opened {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for two pair.

Zhu said that he folded king-queen, and his cards was still on the table, so he said to the dealer to open them. Indeed, he opened {j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, and the whole table was left astounded.

Bubble Time

Yuan Yilu was left with just seven big blinds, and he put them in the middle from the big blind, after Sahil Chuttani's open from the button.

Sahil Chuttani called with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and Yilu opened {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. The board was {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Yuan Yilu busted in 8th place.

This means that the High Roller is officially on the payout bubble, with the next player leaving empty-handed and the rest securing a payout.

Double Up for Tian

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

During a level that was very quiet, and almost nothing important happened, Hao Tian managed to double up in the last hand of the level. He was in the small blind, and after Yang Zhang's open from the button, he shoved. Yang Zhang called and the two players opened their cards.

Hao Tian: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Yang Zhang: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}, and Hao Tian found a magic eight on the flop to stay alive. The dealer counted his stack as 130,500, but Yang Zhang still has a big stack behind him.
