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

Xixiang Luo three-bet jammed for 55,000 on the button and the initial raiser Junnie Pamplona called.

Xixiang Luo: A♦9♦
Junnie Pamplona: A♠J♠

Neither player connected with the 8♠4♥3♣10♥8♣ board and the kicker played.

Nevan Chang then scored yet another double, this time through Dylan Foster. The Aussie check-jammed the K♠6♥2♠8♥ turn and Chang called for 85,000.

Nevan Chang: A♦A♣
Dylan Foster: K♥4♣

"Again?" Foster grinned as Chang had just doubled not long ago with aces. The 2♦ river was brought no upset and Chang doubled.

Shortly after one table over, Tianyuan Tang called a preflop shove by Ashish Munot for 123,000 and had the slightly worse ace in the following showdown.

Ashish Munot: A♠K♠
Tianyuan Tang: A♣Q♣

The J♦10♥6♠10♠8♦ board made sure that ace-king high was good enough for the double of Munot.

Guillem Segarra Lopez raised to 11,000 and then folded to the all-in moves by Grant Gardner for 101,000 and Lester Edoc for 55,000. "You are ahead, because we both have the same hand," Edoc told Segarra Lopez when the Spaniard mucked the 9♥9♠ face-up.

Lester Edoc: K♣K♦
Grant Gardner: K♥K♠

The J♠7♣5♣8♥6♦ river would have given the Spaniard a triple-up.

Guillem Segarra Lopez: K♥Q♦
Ilia Miakishev: A♥K♠

Segarra Lopez took the lead with the Q♠6♣4♦ flop but Miakishev restored his lead with the A♣ turn, the 2♠ river was a blank thereafter. "That's just plain torture," Miakishev consoled his opponent.

Tianyuan Tang also busted one table over as the field dropped to 74 hopefuls with 71 in the money.
