Chen Still in the Mix

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Kang Chen had been among the early big stacks on Day 2 and breezed through the money bubble. However, things didn't go as smooth lately and he just doubled through Sayaka Seshimoto for just 84,000.

The cards of Seshimoto were in the muck already as she could not beat the A♥K♦ of Chen on a K♥J♣9♣K♣J♠ board.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jingxiang Ong tripled up on the money bubble and cashed before then bowing out. His brother Dingxiang Ong had been sporting a decent stack over on table 25 but was also just spotted on the way to the payout desk, finishing inside the top 100.

He explained to have lost a big pot previously before then coming up short in a flip with sevens versus ace-queen. The one to benefit the most has been Thomas Ward, who joined the big stacks.
