Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Soon after his double-up, Bo Jin collided with fellow countryman and short stack Jun Lai as both players turned over an ace with decent kicker.

Bo Jin: A♦10♥
Jun Lai: A♣J♦

Jin asked for a ten but then changed his mind until the 9♦5♣4♦K♦ turn to instead request another diamond. Neither wish was granted as the 5♥ river ended his run in 19th place.

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Within two hands, the short stack of Hao Tian was reduced to zero and he became the 20th place finisher.

Bo Jin doubled through Tian for 100,000 with 6♣6♠ versus K♦Q♥ when the K♠10♥5♠6♦8♠ board delivered the six on the turn.

Tian was then all-in against table chip leader Ting-Yi Tsai.

Hao Tian: Q♦10♥
Ting-Yi Tsai: K♣J♥

The A♦5♥3♦3♣2♣ board missed both players and Tian earned $5,361 for the efforts.

Ilia Miakishev Eliminated in 22nd Place ($4,737)

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The action started with an open raise to 35,000 by Ilia Miakishev and Ting-Yi Tsai clicked it up to 125,000. Miakishev then four-bet to around 350,000 with a single TR-25,000 chip behind. Tsai jammed and Miakishev tanked for a potential pay jump, then called it off.

"Jacks one time please?" Tsai joked and then rolled over his Q♣Q♥. Miakishev was trailing with the 10♠10♥ and Tsai then laughed when the J♠J♣8♣ flop brought two jacks. "No jacks, phew", he said with a big smile.

The 4♦ turn and 3♣ river bricked to send Miakishev out in 22nd place.

Down to just a handful of big blinds, Jin Woo Kim was all-in and looked up by Bien Mai.

Jin Woo Kim: K♥Q♦
Bien Mai: Q♠9♠

Kim was ahead but that all changed on the 9♥7♥4♠ flop. The A♠ turn took away an out and the K♠ river sealed his fate in 23rd place.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

In the final hand before the blinds went up, Yuhan Liu raised to 25,000 and Ting-Yi Tsai three-bet to 75,000. Liu jammed for nearly 500,000 and Tsai called.

Yuhan Liu: J♥J♣
Ting-Yi Tsai: A♦K♠

"Okay, let's win a big flip," Tsai announced and had it locked up until the A♠K♥3♣A♥ turn with aces full of kings, which made the 3♦ river a formality.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ting-Yi Tsai raised to 25,000 and then called the shove by Hal Rotholz for 73,000 from the very next seat after all other players had folded.

Hal Rotholz: K♥10♣
Ting-Yi Tsai: A♠K♦

The kicker problem for Rotholz was never solved on a board of 8♦8♣7♠5♥K♣ as the American was sent to the rail in 27th place.

At the same time over on table three, Lukasz Jankowski four-bet jammed for 295,000 and three-bettor Jin Woo Kim called eventually.

Lukasz Jankowski: K♠K♥
Jin Woo Kim: A♥Q♠

The 8♦7♥6♦Q♥3♠ board brought just one queen and Kim lost more than half of his stack.

Park's Double Sends Salazar Sanchez Out

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Two pocket pairs collided over on table one when Jun Young Park and Mauricio Salazar Sanchez got it in preflop with the former at risk.

Jun Young Park: K♠K♥
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: 9♥9♠

The Q♥4♥2♥8♣6♣ board left the Colombian with just 13,000 and he was all-in the next hand, picking up multi-way action.

Until the Q♠10♦4♥A♦9♣ river, only Curtis Lim and Andy Li remained in the hand. Lim bet 50,000 and Li folded. Lim tabled the A♥10♥ for two pair and Salazar Sanchez was knocked out with the 4♦2♣, though, the damage had been done moments prior.

Jun Young Park	510,000 202,000	202,000
Andy Li	500,000 -20,000	-20,000

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jia Yi Low moved all-in for the last 40,000 from under the gun and Hua Wei Lin just called in the cutoff. Feng Qu then pushed all-in for around 160,000 in the big blind and Lin snap-called.

Jia Yi Low: 10♥8♠
Feng Qu: A♥Q♠
Hua Wei Lin: A♣A♠

Nevan Chang rushed by to witness the showdown of Lin and saw her aces score two knockouts on a board of J♠6♥3♠9♥4♣.

Torres Continues to Thrive; Ojha Is Gone

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With plenty of chips into the middle to the J♣6♣3♦5♣7♦ river, Min Woo Kang moved all-in and was snapped off by Jimmy Torres, who revealed the A♣Q♣ for the nuts. Kang mucked his cards and headed to the payout desk.

Moments later, Day 1b chip leader Vishal Ojha was in dire shape with the K♠10♠ as Jin Woo Kim looked him up with the A♦J♠.

The A♣10♥8♣2♠4♦ runout gave both players a piece and Kim had the best of it to knock out the Indian.
