Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Hao Chen

Hao Chen opened to 230,000 and Duc Trung Vu three-bet all in for 1,830,000. Chen called with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} and was up against the {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} of his opponent.

There was a king on the {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop giving Vu the lead. The turn was the {q-Spades} and the river the {10-Diamonds} leaving Chen with just 145,000.

That went in on the next hand with {k-Spades}{10-Spades} and was called by Mike Takayama who had three-bet to force the other players out of the hand.

Takayama showed {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and held on the {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} runout to add a small amount to his stack.

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Chuttani and Caabay in the Latter's Elimination

A big hand took place in the final table bubble, that ended up with the elimination of Raymond Caabay, sending the rest of the players in the final table. Caabay opened was first to act and opened to 250,000, and Sahil Chuttani defended from the big blind.

The flop came {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades}, and check-called a bet for 180,000 from Caabay.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, and Caabay this time announced all in, after Chuttani's second check. Caabay's stack was 1.3 million, and Chuttani took a long time before announcing the call, to create a big pot, and put his opponent to risk.

Sahil Chuttani: {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Raymond Caabay: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

Caabay had gone with the semi-bluff on the turn, and he still had outs to hit a flush, and double up. The {5-Hearts} on the river wasn't one of them, and Caabay was eliminated in the final table bubble.

There is a redraw for the final nine players, and play will resume after a short break.

Jingzhi Wang Eliminated in 9th Place (₱1,097,075; $21,249)

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Jingzhi Wang
Jingzhi Wang

The final table started with a real rush, giving to the players some of the best combinations in Texas Hold'em. After the previous straight flush, it took only two hands, before there is another big hand, this time quads that resulted in the elimination of Jingzhi Wang.

Florencio Campomanes opened the action with a limp on the button, Jingzhi Wang completed from the small blind, and Sahil Chuttani raised to 450,000 from the big blind. Campomanes folded quickly, and Wang announced all in, with Chuttani snap-calling her.

Sahil Chuttani: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Jingzhi Wang: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The flop was catastrophic for Wang, since the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts} gave quads to Chuttani, and left her with zero equity. The {4-Spades} on the turn, and the {8-Diamonds} on the river was a formality, with Wang being the first elimination of the final table.

Wu Chipping Up with Preflop Pots

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Yaanning Wu managed to win a couple of pots after the previous lost all in. All his won pots had one thing in common: they ended preflop.

After that, it was Duc Trung Vu who three-bet to 550,000 after Wu's raise to 250,000, but Wu shoved again, and Vu had to fold.
