Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

"It's easy," Dylan Wayne told PokerNews. "They get a good hand and you get a slightly better hand."

He was referring to the Chao Duan-shaped hole to his immediate right, with Duan having hit the rail after holding AxKx against Wayne's KxKx

Wayne now sits with comfortably over 750,000 in chips.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

"I haven't seen you bluff yet," said Jacques Ramsden facing a 30,000 bet from Sayed Jabbour on a K♥10♣9♦8♣2♠ board. "And I've got ace-king...this is horrible."

Eventually, Ramsden called.

"Queen-high," said Jabbour and Ramsden won the pot with the very un-ace-king looking K♦7♠

However, Ramsden did pick up A♣K♥ and got it in against the same opponent. However this time Jabbour held substantially better than queen-high, with K♦K♠ holding on the 10♦9♣2♠4♥10♣ runout to send Ramsden to the rail.

Big Double for Zhu

Will Shillibier

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With 150,000 chips in the middle, Wei Zhu had checked to Thomas Lee on a J♠3♣2♥ flop. Lee moved all in, with Zhu having to make a decision for his last 166,000.

Eventually Zhu called.

Wei Zhu: Q♥J♥
Thomas Lee: Q♦8♦

Lee sheepishly turned over his queen high, knowing only a nine would send Zhu to the rail. The river 2♦ bricked and Zhu secured a healthy double.
