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.

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

Bo Jin raised and then called a three-bet by Jimmy Torres in the cutoff, which led them to the J♠7♠4♣ flop. Jin check-called for 80,000 and the K♦ turn was checked.

Jin checked again the 2♠ river and Torres now bet 100,000. That sent Jin into the tank and he eventually paid it off. Torres tabled the A♠J♦ and that won the pot.

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.

Zhang Busts and Heng Doubles to Set Up Three Table Redraw

Christian Zetzsche

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

The cards were already on their backs as Junnie Pamplona with the A♣K♦ had Cheng Zhang at risk, who exposed the K♠J♣.

The Q♣10♠5♥ flop gave both players seat draws. However, the 10♥ turn and 2♣ river bricked off for Zhang and the Day 1a chip leader became the 25th place finisher.

All other tables completed their current hand and that brought a four-bet shove by Ting-Yi Tsai, which Kien Tat Heng called for the 238,000 he had at his disposal.

Kien Tat Heng: A♠A♥
Ting-Yi Tsai: K♣K♦

The A♣J♣9♠K♥7♦ board gave both players sets.
