On a recently opened table, a raising war broke out. Qiyuan Huang had three-bet to 3,000 only for his opponent to make it 12,000 to go. Huang jammed for 29,000 and was called instantly to roll over the K♣K♥.
"Oh man," the other player in the hand sighed and rolled over his Q♣Q♦ for the slightly inferior pocket pair.
There was no upset on the 9♦8♥3♠2♣6♠ board as Huang jumped to a decent start.
On a completed board of Q♣6♣5♣7♣10♠, Mauricio Salazar Sanchez bet 12,000 out of the big blind. That sent Nang Quang Nguyen deep into the tank and he eventually flicked in calling chips on the button. Salazar Sanchez turned over the K♣Q♥ for the king-high flush and won a decent pot.
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.
Level: 4
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 400
The first scheduled 10-minute break is underway with 113 players out of 122 entries remaining according to the tournament info screens.
Benjamin Wu called all-in for 12,900 on the 8♥6♠3♦8♦ turn when his opponent pushed all-in and was shown the A♦K♣. Wu was ahead with the Q♦Q♣ and that didn't change with the 5♥ river either.
Zizhing Huang raised from the button for Alexander Puchalski to call. On a flop of 10♥5♠2♠, Puchalski check-called for 900 as the J♦ followed on the turn. The defending champion checked again and Huang bet another 3,000 to win the pot uncontested this time.
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.
