Saleh Busts One and Out Flushes Another

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

A flop of {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} was visible, there was an all in triangle in front of Quan Zhou and a bet of 18,200 in front Yeow Chung Chong. The action was on Yu Xia who made the call.

Both Chong and Xia checked the {2-Spades} turn and the river came {4-Clubs}. Chong moved all in and Xia made the call. Chong showed {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Xia turned over {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and was obviously unhappy as she mumbled a few things in chinese that we didn't understand.

Tian Rockets Up The Leader Board

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

Hao Tian is in great shape to make back-to-back final tables in this very event, after winning a massive pot.

We arrived at the table as he and XiXiang Luo exchanged raisers on a {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Eventually both players had committed all their chips with Tian in great shape with his {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} against Luo's {J-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Luo was unable to improve as the board ran out the {a-Spades}{ and {q-Clubs} to see his tournament come to an end.

Tian's set of sevens was enough to rake in the pot, as he moves up to 245,000 in chips.

Surprising The Croc

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We were just walking by when we saw a bet of 16,500 in front of Billy "The Croc" Argyros and a board of {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. It seemed to be a tough decision for Shunyan Li, as making the call would only leave him with 16,000 behind. In the end, he called the bet and Argyros didn't look too happy as he tabled {5-Spades}{2-Hearts}. His pair of fives turned out to be good as Li mucked his hand.

Lee Pays To See

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

The hand started with Hoi Ting Lee opening to 3,600 from under the gun. Fabien Parisel was seated to his left, and raised it up to 8,500. The table folded back around to Lee, who made the call.

The flop came down {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and both players opted to check. When the {2-Spades} fell on the turn, Lee threw out a bet of 9,000. Parisel made the call before the {6-Hearts} completed the board.

This time Lee checked. Parisel thought for a moment before betting out 22,000. Lee took several minutes to make a decision, before finally making the call.

Parisel then confidently tabled his {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} for two pair, and watched as Lee's hand flew into the muck.

Kho Busts Yang

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

Kitson Kho opened from under the gun to 4,100 and Peter Chan quickly raised to 10,000 from middle position. Renjun Yang decided to join in from late position and went an all for 38,600. The rest of the table folded and Kho went into the tank for a good two minutes, shuffling his chips and counting them several times.

Kho eventually moved all in for 57,500, enough to put Yang at risk. Chan thought for a bit and eventually found the fold. Kho showed {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and was ahead of Yang's {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. The board ran out {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}{a-Diamonds} sending Yang to the rail.

Laidlaw And Other Few Others Bust

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

Daniel Laidlaw put his final 3,000 in the middle from early position. Ryan Navarro made the call from middle position and Yongjun Ma appeared interested. Ma asked Navarro how much he had and then raised enough chips to put Navarro all in. Navarro quickly folded and the hands were tabled.

Laidlaw: {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Ma: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

Laidlaw couldn't find any help as the board fell {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Ma's fives held up and Laidlaw leaves disappointed.
