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.

Wayne Heung

The board showed {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and there was around 65,000 in the pot. Phachara Wongwichit bet 11,000, Heung raised to 38,000 and Wongwichit raised over the top to 111,000.

Heung thought for several minutes but ultimately he called and Wongwichit turned over {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for two pair. Heung tabled {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a wheel and more than enough to take down the pot from Wongwichit.

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.
