We'll Go With First Names For This One

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

With a flop reading {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, the player in the small blind checked his option. Jay Tan also checked from the big blind, before Darian Tan bumped it up to 750 from under the gun.

Jay would only call, as both saw the turn fall the {j-Hearts}. Both checked as the {5-Hearts} completed the board. Jay reached for her chips, and bet out 1,500. Darian didn’t hesitate in raising it up to 3,350 straight away, which was called off shortly after.

Darian tabled his {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} but it was no good against Jay’s {7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} which had made a flush.

Straight from a final table at EPT San Remo and a cash in The EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo, Michael Kanaan is here in Macau to add to his impressive stats from this year.

Chane Kampanatsanyakorn Is Here

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

If the name Chane Kampanatsanyakorn looks familiar, it might not be just because of his long last name. Kampanatsanyakorn is coming to Macau straight from his first-place finish at APPT Seoul. His win was not only memorable because he finished second in the same event the year before, but he is also the first Thai APPT champion, an honor of which he is extremely proud.

See for yourself how much the win meant to him in his winner's interview:

The hand started with the player in middle position limping into the pot, before Celina Lin bumped it up to 300 from his immediate left. The player on the button also made the call, and the three watched the flop come down {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

The first player bet out 500, which only Lin called. The {j-Clubs} on the turn didn't interest ether player as both checked, before the {2-Hearts} completed the board.

Another bet of 775 came from the player in middle position which was called a moment later by Lin. The player rolled over {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} but was beaten by Lin who showed her {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for a higher two-pair.

J.J. Liu

We arrived at the table with 18,000 chips in the pot, and the board reading {6-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}.

J.J. Liu was sitting motionless, after just committing her remaining 10,000 chips into the pot. Her opponent in the hand tanked for over a minute, before finally releasing his hand and relinquishing the pot to Liu.

A great start for Liu, who sits on 28,000 in chips.
