We arrived to see Sam Cohen all in on the turn of a board reading . Sunny Jung, the winner of this event last year, had made the call with but was dead to the of Cohen. The river completed the board and the pot was shipped to Cohen.
Jung told poker news the preflop there was and open, he had called as had Cohen. On the flop Cohen had again called and by the turn the trap was sprung to put the hurt Jung and continue Cohen’s fight back.
We joined the action as David Peters made a bet of 5,800 on the river of a board showing . His opponent obviously wasn’t loving it but made the call and when Peters showed his winning he got shown .
Winfred Yu and an opponent were heads up with the flop reading . Yu had first action and led into the middle for 2,500. His opponent wasted little time coming over the top for 6,000 total, suddenly putting Yu to a decision. He opted to call and watched as the dropped down on fourth street.
Yu checked the turn and his opponent continued his aggression with a bet of 7,800. Yu check-raised all in and his opponent called for his own tournament life of about 23,000 total.

Having lost a big flip in the last level Liv Boeree shoved the last of her 4,800 stack over an open and got called. The Team PokerStars Pro had and was up against .
The flop was and Boeree nodded, perhaps acknowledging that another club could prove fatal. The turn was safe enough but she could not fade the river and Boeree took her leave.
We caught up with Super High Roller winner Steve O'Dwyer who took down the $500,000 HK event for more than $14 million HK or US $1.8 million, the biggest score of his career.
Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree had won a small pot from the big blind when she called a bet of 1,600 by the button on a flop of as did another player. All three of them checked the turn and river and Boeree’s was good. “Nice hand Liv.” Simon Deadman (who has come back from his earlier mishap) offered. A small pot but things were developing nicely until a few hands later when the hi-jack opened for 1,000 and the player in the cut-off made it 2,500.
Boeree cold-four bet to 5,700 and then called a shove of 23,350. Boeree had and had to beat . It wasn’t to be though as the dealer put out a final board. Boeree was left nursing a crippled stack and Deadman kept his counsel.
