Zhang Binks an Ace to Sink Ceret

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A reraise to 11,000 was in front of Cheng Zhang and he then faced the shove by Eric Ceret for 63,500. That sent Zhang into the tank and he then called with the far superior stack.

Eric Ceret: K♠K♥
Cheng Zhang: A♣K♣

The suited ace instantly got there on the A♥7♦6♠ flop, leaving Ceret with a single out. Nothing changed with the 9♥ turn and Q♠ river to vault Zhang into the lead.

Qiu Eliminated by Mai

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Following an open raise, Bien Mai reraised to 8,000 out of the small blind and Quan Qiu in the big blind then four-bet to 40,000 with around 45,000 behind. The initial raiser folded and Mai eyeballed the stack of his table neighbour before pushing all-in.

Qiu sigh-called all-in and instantly mentioned "I don't want to play this hand."

Quan Qiu: K♦K♥
Bien Mai: A♣A♥

The A♦6♣6♥ flop left Qiu with a miracle ahead and he joked "yeah, fuck me" while Mai replied "you still have runner-runner. None of that came on the 4♣ turn and 5♦ river as Mai added even more chips to his growing tower.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Hun Tae Choi looked up the short stack all-in of Chien Chih Weng for 11,100 and had one overcard at his disposal in the following showdown.

Chien Chih Weng: 10♥10♦
Hun Tae Choi: K♣9♥

The 10♣7♠3♣ flop gave Weng top set and Choi needed running cards. One of those came with the 5♣ turn as Choi screamed "backdoooorrrrr" loudly. However, the 7♥ river only improved Weng, who grinned and said "I win round number three".
