Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Tao Fan
Tao Fan

Tetsuya Enoki opened from early position to around 12,000, Tao Fan called from late position and the flop came down {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{j-Spades}. Enoki bet and Fan moved all in for 44,000.

Enoki called and players turned over their hands. Enoki turned over {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for top pair with a straight draw and Fan showed {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for an overpair of aces.

The {3-Hearts} on the turn and {7-Spades} on the river changed nothing as Fan took down the pot for a full double up through Enoki.

Lew Gets Value From Chen

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Randy Lew opened to 11,500 in the cutoff and picked up a call by Ching Wei Chen in the big blind. Chen checked the {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop and called a bet of 15,000 by Lew. The {4-Spades} on the turn went check, check, and Chen led the {5-Spades} river for 15,000. Lew opted for a raise to 53,000 and received a rather swift call to reveal his {7-Spades}{6-Hearts} for a straight.

That ended up winning the pot, as Chen mucked.

Kitajima Doubles Through Li

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

A classic coin flip three spots off the money saw Hayato Kitajima at risk with the {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Vincent Li had him covered by a small margin with the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

Kitajima immediately flopped a set on {8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and locked up the double with the {7-Diamonds} turn, which made the {10-Diamonds} on the river a mere formality.

Chengbei Li was less fortunate and busted, reducing the field to the last 74.
