Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jin Woo Kim: A♦A♠
Sungrock Jung: 8♠8♦

Both suits were covered by Kim and he had little to fear on the K♦5♥3♠6♣3♦ runout.

At the same time, Sebastian Mueller raise-called a short-stacked shove by Daoxing Chen for 33,000 on the button.

Daoxing Chen: J♣J♠

Abhinav Iyer: J♠J♦

Qiu Knocks Out Yu and Taylor

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jenam Yu pushed all-in from under the gun and Guy Taylor did so from two seats over. It folded to Quan Qiu in the big blind, who called to put two players at risk right after the bubble had burst.

Jenam Yu: A♦2♥
Guy Taylor: 9♦9♠
Quan Qiu: A♠J♣

The K♥Q♠10♣ flop gave Qiu broadway and Taylor needed running cards, while Yu could chop with a jack. Nothing changed on the 7♥ turn and K♠ river to send two players to the payout desk.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There is a small crowd lined up in front of the payout desk and one table already broke soon after the bubble had burst, meaning more than ten players have been eliminated.

Among them was also Eric Wasylenko, who mentioned "ace jack against pocket nines for around 20 bigs, Jin Woo got me".

Leonid Poles and Vinay Boob were also spotted in line as well.

Curtis Lim: A♣9♠

"Chop is good," Chua joked but the K♦J♣6♠8♠10♦ runout made sure that the kicker played.

Chen Binks River Double Against Kang

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Min Woo Kang raised to 12,000 and Pete Chen three-bet to 80,000 out of the big blind, keeping 12,000 behind. The initial raiser jammed and Chen then called it off on a pay jump.

Pete Chen: K♥Q♦
Min Woo Kang: A♣K♣

Both paired the king on the K♦4♠2♦ flop and the 6♥ turn changed nothing. However, Chen spiked the Q♣ on the river to survive and dent Kang's stack.
