Carlos Gets Crafty

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Carlos Chang opened with a raise to 60,000 from middle position before Thomas Mcgarrity three-bet to 135,000. Chang made the call and the two saw a flop of {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. Both players checked and the repeat {K-Diamonds} hit the turn. Chang tapped the table again and this time Mcgarrity bet out 130,000. Chang took hit time, cutting out chips on a number of occasions before eventually raising to 310,000. Mcgarrity quickly gave it up as Chang flashed the {3-Diamonds}.

Chang climbs to 1.3 million with Mcgarrity taking a small hit but he's still in front with 3.4 million.

Liu Takes Two Big Pots From Andre

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

In the first hand, Cyril Andre opened to 80,000 from under the gun. Jiajun Liu was on the small blind, and raised it up to 170,000 which was called.

The flop came down {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} and both players checked. The {7-Diamonds} on the turn saw Liu bet out 200,000 which was snap-called before the {j-Clubs} completed the board.

This time Liu checked, prompting Andre to quickly bet out 225,000 which was snap-called. Andre then tabled his {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} but would fall to Liu to rolled over {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} for the better hand.

A few hands later, Liu opened to 85,000 from the hijack. Andre made the call from the button, and Thomas Mcgarrity called from the blinds.

The flop fell {2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and all three players checked. The {5-Clubs} on the turn was checked firstly by Mcgarrity. Liu bet out 150,000 which only Andre called.

The {9-Diamonds} dropped on the river, and Liu immediately slid out 300,000 which was snap-called. Liu then tabled his {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} for aces-up, and scooped the pot as Andre mucked his hand in disgust.
