Ye Wang Crushing

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

China's Ye Wang has by far the biggest stack in the event so far, with 270,000 in chips. A big part of it came from Xinglong Huang, who was the other big stack of the event, up until before the last break.

Ye Wang took at least two big pots from Huang, one when Huang re-raised to 47,500 chips preflop, and folded to Wang's shove. A couple hands later, he was seen calling and mucking in the river, when Wang opened a straight.

Two Big Hands

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Two different tables, two big hands in the last couple of minutes during Level 8. Firstly, Lei Yu was left crippled in a preflop all in situation where he had sevens, against his opponent's jacks. The board didn't change anything and Lei Yu was left with 6,000.

In another table, there was a family pot, with five players calling a preflop raise. They went 6-handed to a {3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop, and everybody checked to the button, who bet 3,300. The only caller was Amanpreet Singh from the small blind and the {2-Clubs} fell on the turn.

Both players checked, and the {9-Spades} completed the board on the river. Singh checked once again and his opponent announced all in for an enormous overbet! Singh took just one second to put chips into the pot for the call. The button player opened {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a pure bluff while Singh had {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts} with trips!

Singh had the smaller stack of the two, and the dealer counted it as 42,000, which was the amount the bluff cost to the button player.

Sometimes it is not hard for the deck to drive you nuts. This is what in a battle between Jiang Chen and Hao Tian, where a split was expected but the board had other plans.

The two players put their stacks in the middle with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, respectively. Everybody was expecting a split but the board ran out {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Hao Tian found a magic flush to double up!
