Two Knockouts in a Row for Heng

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Sven McDermott raise-folded to the shove by table short stack Arvin Tamilsilvam.

Kien Tat Heng then knocked out a shorter stack with A♣10♣ versus K♦J♦ when he had to dodge a lot of outs on a 8♦7♦2♥5♥9♠ board.

Fast forward another hand and Tamilsilvam was at risk versus Heng, who once again filmed the showdown on his smart phone.

Arvin Tamilsilvam: A♠6♦
Kien Tat Heng: A♦10♦

Both paired their kicker on the 10♥6♣5♠Q♥3♣ board to send Tamilsilvam to the rail as well.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Vishak Ojha checked the Q♠9♠5♠7♥A♦ river for Romain Morvan to bet 12,000 with around 20,000 behind. The table big stack mulled it over for a short while and moved all-in, as Morvan was struck right away.

The Frenchman tanked for a minute to pay it off and sighed upon seeing A♥9♥ on the other side of the table as his A♣7♣ for an inferior two pair were no good.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a three-way all-in, Hyunil Hong was the covering stack with K♣Q♠ as he took on Heng Seng Lau with the A♠Q♥ and Pete Chen, who tabled the A♦5♠.

The J♠4♦3♦3♥4♠ board avoided the elimination of Chen but he had to chop the main pot with Lau, who left Hong very short.

Hong doubled the next hand before Lau opened to 5,000 thereafter. Chen jammed for 11,000 and Hong did so for 15,000, as Lau looked both up.

Pete Chen: A♥J♣
Hyunil Hong: K♦J♦
Heng Seng Lau: A♠7♠

This time, Chen remained ahead thanks to a 10♣4♥2♣9♥2♥ board as his kicker ensured a triple-up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Anil Adiani raised to 3,500 in the cutoff and then reluctantly called the three-bet shove by Denis Pham for 16,000 on the button.

Denis Pham: K♦Q♦
Anil Adiani: A♦7♠

Neither player connected with the 8♠8♣4♥8♦J♠ board to knock out Pham.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a single-raised pot between two players from Russia, Roman Kolotiuk and Evgenii Nekrasov checked down the entire board of 10♥8♠2♣5♦2♥. Kolotiuk flashed the Q♥J♥ for a missed gutshot and Nekrasov was about to muck his cards but flipped over the 8♣3♣.

Having hit the eight, the pot was shipped to Nekrasov.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The completed board showed J♣6♥2♥3♦3♠ and there were some 31,500 in the middle. Jin Woo Kim in the small blind bet 32,000 with 38,500 behind. Julian Warhurst then pushed all-in with the marginally covering stack and Kim asked for a count to determine if he was covered or not.

Once that was taken care of, Kim called by tossing in a single chip. Warhurst tabled the 4♠2♣ and Kim doubled for 65,500 with the A♥J♠. Down to fewer than three blinds, Warhurst was eliminated shortly after.
