Ward is in Cruz Control
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Alexander Cruz tripled up his severe short stack with 9♥9♠ as Li Fang isolated with the A♥K♠. The J♥9♣2♥5♥3♠ runout gave Cruz a set of nines.
Calvin Tan then aimed to double with A♣7♥ against the 7♣7♠ of Thomas Ward but failed on the Q♥8♣4♠8♦6♠ board. Up next, Feridoun Farboud was knocked out by Cruz with the latter keeping his hopes of a Day 2 berth alive.
