Udayakumar Busts One

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Arravind Udayakumar woke up with queens on the big blind and he saw the small blind player shoving all in, which he snapped call.

His {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} was a big favorite against his opponent's {a-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and he held this advantage in a {2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} board to bust his opponent and essentially double up, since he was slightly covering him.

Xiaoyin He
Xiaoyin He

A player opened to 12,000 before Xiaoyin He three-bet all in for 112,000. A third player then four-bet all in over the top and the initial raiser folded.

Xiaoyin He: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

He had run into the pocket kings of his opponent, but an ace on the {2-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} runout handing him a full double and kept him alive 12 eliminations away from the money.

Kang Moves Further Ahead

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With 70,000 chip sin the middle, William Kang checked a {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} board to his opponent who bet 41,000. Kang thought a while before calling.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Kang opted to bet out for 68,000. His opponent snap-called and went to table his hand. However, Kang had already flipped over {a-Spades}{2-Spades} for the nut flush and his opponent mucked.

"Two pair?" asked Kang.

"Better," replied his opponent.

"Better than two pair!" said Kang. "Wow. So you're always calling even if I go all in?"

His opponent remained silent.

Lim Finds Fourth King But Sweats

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

Alexis Lim found a great spot to double up when he was all in with {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} against his opponent's {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

The flop gave him a set of kings when the last king of the deck appeared, but he still had a sweat since there was an ace too, giving to his opponent chances for a better full house.

The final board looked {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{a-Spades}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, and Lim doubled up after fading all the other aces.
