Liu Eliminated

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The dream run for J.J. Liu has come to an end, with the last female player in the field eliminated from the tournament.

We arrived at the table to see the board read {7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and the pot being pushed over to Jianyu Chen. His {k-Spades}{8-Spades} was the only hand on the table showing, which was enough to take down the pot and send Liu to the rail.

Li Doubles Through Liu

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The hand started with Andre Cyril betting out 14,000 from the cut off. He was called by Jiajun Liu and Xudong Li in the blinds. The flop came down {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Liu checked. Li then moved all in for his 79,000 in chips, forcing a quick fold from Cyril.

Liu hesitated for a minute, before reluctantly making the call.

Liu: {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Li: {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}

Li stepped away from the table, even though he had the lead. The board then ran out the {q-Spades} and {q-Hearts} to guarantee him the pot with a full house.

Liu Continues to Climb

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Jiajun Liu
Jiajun Liu

We came to the action just as Fabien Parisel moved all his chips into the middle and noticed a 30,000 bet in front of Jiajun Liu. It seemed to be an easy decision for Liu to make the call with {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. Parisel showed {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and the gentlemen were off to the races.

The jacks held through the {8-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop and the {2-Clubs} turn. It was the {k-Spades} river that gave Liu the pot and sent Parisel to the rail. There doesn't seem to be much stopping Liu the last few days as he continues to steadily add to his stack.

Kho Doubles Through Tian

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

It was another preflop all in when Kitson Kho came over the top of Hao Tian's raise to 23,500. Tian called Kho's all in with {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Tian turned over {a-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Kho found some hope when the flop came {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts} and gave him a flush draw. The flush came on the {q-Spades} turn but Kho had to fade some outs. And fade them he did, when the river came {a-Clubs} giving him a double up and keeping him in the game.

Wu Calls Kanaan

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We arrived at the table with over 40,000 in the pot and the board reading {8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

Xue Qian Wu bet out 30,000 from the small blind and was called by Michael Kanaan in the cut off.

The {6-Diamonds} fell on the river, and this time Wu checked his option. Kanaan thought for a moment, before sliding out a bet of 75,000. Wu went into the tank for over a minute, before finally making the call.

It was the right one, as Kanaan grabbed his cards and tossed them into the muck.
