Wu Scores an Unlikely Chop to Chip Up

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

After a three-bet, Yake Wu ended up all in for around 30,000 and was called two ways. Xiaosheng Zheng then bet the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop for 23,000 and the third player in the hand pushed all in. Zheng called for 52,900 and tabled the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

Wu had some chop outs with {a-Spades}{4-Spades} and the third player held {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for a full house. Nothing changed with the {2-Spades} turn, but the {8-Clubs} provided quads on the board and Wu chopped to boost his stack.

Takahashi Wins Monster Three-Way All In

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Keiji Takahashi
Keiji Takahashi

A raise by a player in early position was called by Keiji Takahashi and Xiaosheng Zheng in the blinds. On the {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop, Takahashi led for 25,000 and Zheng called. The initial raiser moved all in for 62,000 and Takahashi moved all in over the top for more than 180,000. Zheng gave it some thought, even asked for a count and called it off.

The player at risk showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for top pair and Takahashi revealed {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for middle set. Zheng was gutted and barely flipped over his {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for bottom two pair ... he was already drawing to running sevens only for miracle quads. It was all over on the {8-Diamonds} turn for Zheng, but the short stack could still hit a straight. A blank {a-Clubs} followed on the river and Takahashi scored a massive double knockout to take the lead.

Ko and Lin Knocked Out

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Yuki Ko
Yuki Ko

Celina Lin was nowhere to be found anymore and Yuki Ko followed her on the way out. Ko had a flip with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} against {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and his opponent rivered a flush on a board of {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

Yake Wu was more fortunate, he doubled for around 30,000 against Hideki Izutsu and remained in contention without having to re-enter.

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Huahuan Feng
Huahuan Feng

Daisuke Ogita opened the action with a raise to 5,000 on the button and Huahuan Feng stuck his last 49,400 in from the small blind. Jamie Lee used three of his time bank extensions and folded, while Ogita called in a heartbeat.

Huahuan Feng: {10-Spades}{6-Spades}
Daisuke Ogita: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Feng could all laugh about his timing, but he picked up some outs on the {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop. Nothing changed with the {7-Hearts} turn, however, Lady Luck was shining on Feng when he spiked the {9-Spades} river for a straight.
