Chihoon Gets Value From Lee

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Shin Dean Chihoon check-raised the AQ10 flop and bet the 3 turn for 6,000 to then size down to 5,000 on the A river. Fellow countryman Duhan Lee reluctantly called and was shown the KJ for broadway, which had his AJ beaten.

Ambata Knocks Out Liu

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Rick Ambata bet the 10743 turn to get called by Zhiqiang Liu and then bet the 10 river for another 15,000. That had Liu's remaining chips covered and the player from China eventually called.

Ambata rolled over the 65 for the seven-high straight and Liu briefly exposed the 55 before storming out of the tournament area. It was the second bullet for Liu on Day 1b and he can only enter the turbo heat in the evening anymore.

Hagio Out and Back In

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The cards were already on their backs with Namiki Hagio all-in and at risk holding the AQ.

Hyung Tai Kim looked them up with the A2 and hit running spades on the 1042Q8 board. Hagio re-entered soon after to table 47 as all three available tournament areas at Okada Manila are now in play.

Vu No More After Clash With Watanabe

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Bernard Vu
Bernard Vu

A big pot was brewing to the Q32K turn when Bernard Vu bet 6,900 into what appeared to be 15,400. He had previously clashed with Hajime Watanabe, who was his opponent once more and jammed for 19,000.

Vu went into the tank and inquired with the floor if it was possible to re-enter before he called with slightly more chips.

Hajime Watanabe: 33
Bernard Vu: AK

The K river was a formality already as Vu hit the rail shortly after and before the tournament went on break.-
