Double Elimination

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

After a long period of being stuck on 17 players, we’ve just lost two players simultaneously on two different tables to now finally reach our final two tables.

On Table2, Christian Haggart and Xiongzhen Wu were all in preflop with Haggart holding {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} against Wu’s {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}. The board ran out {3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs} to give Haggart the pot.

As the chips were being cut down to see if Wu would survive, there was another all-in situation over on Table 5 as Hao Tian was all in for his tournament life with {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} against Tony Cheng’s {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. The flop of {10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} brought a set for Cheng and left Tian looking for a jack for a straight to stay alive. The {2-Clubs} turn and {4-Spades} river completed the board to see Tian fall short of a repeat final table berth.

Meanwhile back on Table 2, Haggart narrowly covered Wu, meaning that both eliminated players will chop the prize money and share 16th place.

Haggart Doubles

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The action started with Xiongzhen Wu opening to 45,000 from under the gun. Christian Haggart was in the blinds, and moved all in for 210,000 in chip. With the decision back on Wu, he thought for a minute before making the call.

Haggart: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Wu: {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

The board favoured Haggart, as it ran out {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts} giving him trip aces and the win.

Liu Wins A Million Dollar Pot

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The action started with Yat Wai Cheng opening to 35,000 from under the gun. Jiajun Liu was in the cut off, and raised it up to 110,000. With the decision back on Cheng, he bumped it up to 260,000. Liu didn't wait very long, moving all in for 491,000 and was snap-called.

Liu: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Cheng: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Liu was in trouble until the dealer produced a {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop. He jumped out of his chair in excitement as the rail erupted with cheers. The turn and river of {2-Spades} and {4-Hearts} brought no help for Cheng who sat motionless in his chair.

With that pot, Liu moves over 1,000,000 in chips.

Slow Play

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The remaining 17 players have taken the foot off the peddle during this level.

They are all valuing the pay jump from HK$82,000 to an even HK$100,000 that follows the next elimination.

Mcgarrity Over A Million

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Thomas Mcgarrity is the first player over a million in chips today after recently taking out Xue Qian Wu.

Wu's elimination in 18th place means we're one bust out away from the final two tables in this main event.
