Wang's Day Gets Better

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Henry Tran had his stack of around 450,000 in the middle and was in a dominating position against Yuanting Wang.

Henry Tran: A♣K♠ All in
Yuanting Wang: K♣8♣

Wang was looking to thin down the field but needed a bit of luck if he wanted to do so as Tran was a big favorite. However, being the favorite in poker doesn't always work out as Tran realized when the flop came 3♥8♠J♥, giving Wang a pair of eights. The 3♦ turn changed nothing, and despite Tran making top pair with the K♥ river, it wasn't enough as Wang rivered two pair to take the pot.

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Chao Duan raised to 325,000 from under the gun, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. It was folded to Pranav Bhatt in the big blind, who announced he was all in. Duan called all in for his last chip and hands were revealed.

Chao Duan: 8♠7♠All in
Pranav Bhatt: 6♣6♦

It was a fair fight, but the 9♣2♦3♣K♠2♠ runout kept Bhatt's pair best and he collected the rest of Duan's chips.

Robert Spano was all in for his last few big blinds and was put at risk by Kenta Ito.

Kenta Ito: A♥4♠

Spano was looking to connect with the board but totally missed everything as the 9♣2♣K♠2♦6♠ board meant he was sent to the rail with four tables remaining in the Main Event,

Nelson Dong was in the big blind and faced with a shove for around 650,000 from Peter Stott, who was in the hijack, on a flop of 4♦5♣9♠.

Dong tanked for a while before reluctantly placing in a call.

Peter Stott: 10♠10♥All in
Nelson Dong: A♦9♣

Stott found himself in good shape with an overpair to Dong's nines, and the K♣7♠ runout kept Stott best for the double up.

At another table, Armon van Wijk ended up all in preflop with ace-king against Louis Luo, who held aces.

Van Wijk couldn't catch a miracle runout and fell victim to the preflop cooler to be eliminated.

Marc Seymour made it 50,000 from the hijack and Liam Jehu called in the cutoff. Louis Luo called on the button and Ulf Carlberg shoved his last 85,000 in from the small blind. Seymour reshoved and everybody else folded.

Ulf Carlberg: Q♦5♦ All in
Marc Seymour: A♣J♥

Carlberg had a shot to almost quadruple up and took the opportunity as he ended the hand with trips after the dealer ran a board of 8♥5♥K♠4♥5♣.

Armon van Wijk opened to 30,000 from early position and he found one caller in Robert Spano, who was in the big blind.

Spano check-called a 30,000 bet from van Wijk on the 10♥2♣10♣ flop and a 100,000 bet from van Wijk on the 3♠ turn.

However, Spano led out for 225,000 after the 10♦ river brought trips on board and van Wijk went into the tank.

Van Wijk counted out a call and pondered his decision a bit before giving his calling chips a kiss and placing them into the middle.

Spano tabled A♠J♥, which was no good against van Wijk's 9♣9♦ to award van Wijk the pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

There was a five-way limped pot with only Luke Edwards missing to make it a family pot. The flop came 3♦6♣6♦ and Kahle Burns led out for 30,000 from the small blind, which only Liam Murray called on the button.

On the A♥ turn, Burns continued to bet and fired out 150,000. Murray contemplated for a few moments then elected to fold, earning Burns the pot.
