Miyagi Style!

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
William Lim
William Lim

The player first to act shoved for his last 122,000 and it was folded to William Lim aka "Mr. Miyagi", who went into the tank on the button.

Apparently the two had some history, and Lim said, "I'm going to kill you this time!" before sticking a call into the middle. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Opponent: AQAll in
William Lim: KQ

Lim was dominated and remained behind on the 1073 flop. However, the K turn paired Lim's king and onlookers shouted "Miyagi style!"

The Q river kept Lim ahead and he added to his already monster stack to climb to about 1,400,000.

Nguyen Tries to Trap

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Hieu Nguyen
Hieu Nguyen

Hieu Nguyen called a 16,000 open from the cutoff and players went heads up to the flop.

The 755 board saw Nguyen check-call a 23,000 bet by the cutoff, and the A was turned.

Nguyen checked the turn, and the cutoff continued for 60,000. Nguyen was slow to make the call, but paid to see the A river.

The table saw Nguyen check, and the cutoff checked behind. Nguyen turned over AJ for a full house and the cutoff abruptly threw his hand into the muck.

Ayyaz Lightens the Field as Bubble Draws Near

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Faraz Ayyaz opened on the button and just behind him, the player in the small blind shoved for his last 150,000. Action was back on Ayyaz, who tanked a bit, but eventually stuck calling chips into the middle with a covering stack.

Small blind: K10All in
Faraz Ayyaz: 88

It was a race, but the 877 flop gave Ayyaz a full house to leave his opponent drawing nearly dead.

The AJ runout changed nothing and Ayyaz collected his opponent's stack.

Just 101 players remain with 95 making the money.

The AJ4 flop was good for Lin, and he was calling for a "Picture, picture" card.

Malcolm Trayner raised to 22,000 from the small blind and was called by the players in the big blind.

The big blind called a 15,000 bet from Trayner on the 688 flop and then Trayner check-called a 25,000 on the K turn.

Both players checked down on the 10 river and the big blind showed Q10 for tens-up. Trayner revealed K6 for kings-up and was sent the pot.

Xin Xu

Xin Xu was all in and at risk from middle position for his remaining 50,000. He was covered by the button.

Xin Xu: 77All in
Button: A10

Xu was ahead, and just needed to hold to stay alive within the freezeout. The K86 flop brought in the sweat of a flush draw for his opponent, but Xu locked up the much-needed double after seeing the 6 turn and 6 river.
