58 Players Remaining

There are currently 58 players remaining across six tables. The action has slowed a bit from the post-dinner break frenzy we experienced about an hour or so ago.

With a little less than two hours of play remaining this evening, Henrik Gwinner still owns the chip lead with right around 265,000 in chips.

Scotty Plays The Board

With the board showing {6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} Scotty Nguyen calls the 2,000 bet of his opponent on the turn.

"Put a seven out there baby!" calls Scotty and would you believe it, the {7-Clubs} hits on the river! Scotty fires out a 4,000 bet and shouts the famous words "Don't go all in or it's gonna be all over baby!". His opponent thinks for a moment before folding and Scotty flips up a deuce to rake in a another pot.

Scotty Nguyen Catches a Bluff

Scotty raised from the cutoff and short-stacked Mark Walsh decided to make a stand from the big blind by pushing all of his 38,000-chip stack into the middle pre-flop. Scotty instantly calls and flips {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Walsh is not happy to be called as he reveals his {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

However the board of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{K-Diamonds} gives Walsh an unlikely flush and he doubles through Scotty Nguyen to keep his tournament hopes alive.

Frank Fuller Doubles Up

Frank Fuller of Australia has just doubled up courtesy of a pocket pair of aces, getting it all in pre-flop against an opponent who challenged with pocket queens.

The board filled out {4-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{6-Spades}, giving both players sets, though Fuller's aces reigned supreme and he stacked up 50,000 in new chips.

Sid Kim Cracks Kings in Style

When Sid Kim decided to call the all-in move of a short-stacked player pre-flop, things weren't looking too rosy when his {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} was looking rather mediocre compared to the pocket kings of his opponent.

The flop brought {8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} and it appeared that the short stack was set to double up.

However the turn was the {7-Clubs}, and suddenly Kim's hand had life with both straight and flush draw possibilities.

The river was the {5-Hearts} and Kim made his straight to send the unlucky player home with a bad-beat story to tell his buddies.

Sid Kim Does It Again

Sid Kim has won another pre-flop race - this time against the large stack of Kenny Ng.

Sid Kim: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Kenny Ng: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The large crowd cheering on Kenny Ng couldn't bring him the cards he needed with the board reading {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades} to leave Ng with around 50,000 in chips while Kim, who finished 3rd in the APPT Seoul Main Event, is now up to 110,000.

Chip Leader Loses Race

Henrik Gwinner
Henrik Gwinner
Tournament chip leader Henrik Gwinner has just claimed to have lost one of his first races of the day, which is very believable when you look at the mountain of chips in front of him. Holding pocket eights against the {J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} of his opponent, the board came {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and Gwinner appeared to be in disbelief at losing the pot as he wondered out loud, "Man, what happened there?"
