Vivian Im

Team PokerStars Pro Vivian Im got down to less than 6,000 in chips and decided to get it all in with {10-}{10-}.

It appeared to be a good decision, as she ended up heads-up against a player with {8-}{8-}. Then he spiked an eight and her APPT 8 Manila main event came to a quick close.

Wu Wang II

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

It was another clash of the titans between Weiduo Wu and Shih Ciao Wang, only this time they didn't have the same hand - at least we don't think so.

Wang check-called 2,000 on a {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop, then 3,000 on the {j-Hearts} turn. He checked again on the {10-Clubs} river, but when Wu fired out 12,000, Wang sat thinking it over. Eventually he called, but never had to show down his hand as Wu mucked his.

Tense Moments

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

A rather tense moment was just created by Weiduo Wu and Shih Ciao Wang.

Wu started with an early position raise to 2,000 that was called by one player. It then folded to Wang in the big blind who raised it up 4,100 more.

Not to be outdone, Wu made it 16,100, getting the third player in the hand to fold. It came back to Wang who promptly five-bet shoved. It was 22,500 more and Wu went into the tank for a few tense moments before finally making the call with {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

The air was let out of the bag a little when Wang showed {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and the moment was completely deflated when the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

Xu Claims Another

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Anyang Xu has claimed another soul here in Manila.

This shorty shipped it in with {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for his last 3,400. Xu made the call from the button with {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and held on the {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} board.

Chen Escapes Unscathed

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Yen Han Chen dodged a bullet, or rather a pair of ladies, in a recent pot.

He made it 1,200 preflop and only the small blind called. Both players then proceeded to check down the {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, {5-Spades} turn and {3-Clubs} river.

The small blind showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

"I can beat queen high," said Chen. "But not queens."

Foo Me Once

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Ricky Foo just jumped up the leader board sending two players home in the same hand.

There was a bit of a raising war preflop that saw one player get it all in and Foo and another make the call. The flop came {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Foo checked, only to see his one heads-up opponent on the side push all in.

Foo made the call laying {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} on the felt having flopped middle set. He had the worst of it before the flop, with the original all in player showing {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and the side pot player on {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}.

But Foo cracked them both after the {4-Diamonds} turn and {2-Hearts} river were revealed.
