Aladin Reskallah put his hopes on the 2♠2♦ and had a coin flip against the A♣J♠ of Dylan Foster. The 7♣4♥3♣ flop and 9♥ turn were blanks but the A♥ river improved Foster.

Rotholz Survives; Gonzales Does Not

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Hal Rotholz was at risk with a short stack holding the K♠Q♦ and was up against the A♥Q♠ of Feng Ji Chua. An ace came to leave Rotholz on the brink but he rivered broadway to survive.

One hand later, Rundulf Gonzales got his short stack in with the 10♥9♠ and Thomas Carlin called holding the K♣K♥.

The Filipino found no help on a J♥5♣2♥2♦K♦ board to bow out.

Miracle Escape for Yu

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jenam Yu was all-in for 61,000 with the A♥10♥ and Quan Qiu had him well covered, revealing the 10♦10♠.

The K♦6♦4♦ flop left Yu on the ropes and nothing changed with the 8♥. However, the A♠ river delivered one of two outs and Yu doubled.

"I had pocket sevens and would have busted there," Guy Taylor mentioned in the table chat.

Chang Doubles Through Torres

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jimmy Torres had chipped up significantly and then three-bet an open raise by Nevan Chang to 30,000 while on the button. "Let's go," Chang said and grappled in the 66,500 he had behind for Torres to call.

Nevan Chang: A♠A♦
Jimmy Torres: 10♥10♣

The hot run of Torres almost continued after he gained equity with the 9♦8♣6♥ flop but the K♣ turn and 5♦ river kept Chang in contention with a double.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On the tail end of a heads-up pot to the K♣5♠3♠7♠6♦ river, Yunsheng Sun bet 36,000. Dylan Foster then announced his all-in with the covering stack and Sun rather quickly sent the cards into the muck.

Munot Takes a Big Hit

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ashish Munot raised to 8,000 and Jun Lai three-bet to 26,000. The initial raiser then jammed with the superior stack and Lai used two time bank extensions before he called.

Jun Lai: A♣K♥
Ashish Munot: AxQx

The K♣9♦7♠4♠Q♦ board kept Lai ahead all the way as he doubled for 123,000.

Short Stack Double for Kim

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jin Woo Kim had just lost an all-in against Kien Tat Heng to be left with fumes and moved all-in for 13,500 from under the gun. The small blind looked him up with the Q♥J♦ and Kim was marginally ahead with the K♣2♥. The 8♦7♦7♣2♣9♠ board kept Kim in contention as the bubble is looming.

McDermott Among Latest Casualties

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

"He had the nuts," Dylan Foster exclaimed while Sven McDermott then explained that he was all-in with pocket queens against the pocket aces of Jimmy Torres. According to McDermott, a queen appeared on the flop but an ace followed later on.

That hand took place moments after Ilia Miakishev screamed out in celebration when his A♣K♠ rivered a flush on the 7♣5♣2♣9♠9♣ board to dispatch Shankui Li.
