Ceret Re-Enters; Chua Doubles

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Eric Ceret was eliminated and soon after re-entered while Feng Ji Chua avoided the same fate for now. At risk with a shorter stack, Chua's Q♥J♣ needed help versus A♥K♠ and improved on a Q♠9♦8♠ flop. Two blanks later, Chua jumped back to half the starting stack.

Boob Runs Into a Flopped Straight

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

In three-way action to the 7♥6♣3♣10♠ turn, Nang Quang Nguyen checked and Fang-Kei Yang bet 1,500. Vinay Boob raised to 4,200 only for Nguyen to check-raise to 12,000 total. Yang folded and Boob then jammed for around 20,000 to get snapped off.

"Do you have a straight?" Boob asked and Nguyen nodded, exposing the 5♥4♠ for a straight. Boob tabled 10♥10♦ for top st but couldn't pair up on the 2♠ river.

Ghosh From Hero to Zero

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Ashish Ghosh had doubled in the opening stages of Day 1b but hasn't made it to the end of level three.

He just lost a big pot with A♦8♥ against the A♠Q♠ of Yan Chee Yong when the A♣9♠8♣ flop got the chips in. The 9♦ turn counterfeited the two pair of Ghosh, and the J♠ river didn't change anything.

Yong doubled for 31,600 to leave Ghosh with some 18,000 but those chips vanished soon after.

Foster Chips Up Right Away

Christian Zetzsche

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Aussie Dylan Foster is making his usual friends at the table with a very jovial manner and started singing, after which he declared to have lost all of the money he made by singing at the poker tables.

The start into Day 1b was successful when he bet a heads-up river of J♣9♠3♣10♥3♠ for 10,000 and forced a fold.
