The 2010 Champ Loses Some Chips To Jeon

From under the gun, Xing Zhou opened with a raise to 4,000. In the next seat, 2010 PokerStars.net APPT Macau Main Event champion Victorino Torres called, then Seungsoo Jeon called from the cutoff seat. Everyone else folded, and the dealer ran out the {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop.

On the flop, Zhou, Torres and Jeon checked to see the {K-Spades} fall on the turn. After Zhou and Torres checked, Jeon bet 8,000. Zhou folded, then Torres check-raised to 18,500. Jeon called after taking some time to think.

The river was the {10-Diamonds}, and both Torres and Jeon checked.

Torres shook his head as he tabled the {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for two pair, tens and eights. Jeon had him beat with the {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a better two pair, and he won the pot.

On the {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop, Mike Watson checked over to Edmund Lee. Lee fired 5,500, and Watson made the call to see the turn.

The river was the {3-Spades}, and both players checked.

Lee tabled the {K-Clubs}{J-Spades} for king high, but Watson's {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} was better with a pair of eights, and he won the pot.

Tan Gives One Up

Jay Tan, who was interviewed by our own Lynn Gilmartin on the previous break which you can watch below, just lost a pot after folding on the river.

Tan raised it up to 3,600 and Marcus Lau called from the big blind. The flop came down {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and both players checked. On the turn the {3-Clubs} hit and Lau check-called 4,000. On the river the {9-Hearts} showed up and Lau fired out 8,500. Tan went into the tank for about 30 seconds before she decided to fold.

Lau still has plenty of room to play, but she's well below the average stack.

In the following interview, Jay discusses her recovery from a nasty hand to finish Day 2, and seeing that she's a regular to this town, her favorite places to eat in Macau:
