Soyza Eliminates Tsang

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Michael Soyza
Michael Soyza

Christoph Vogelsang raised to 5,000 from early position. David Peters called on the button before Michael Soyza three bet to 25,000 from the small blind. Elton Tsang moved all in from the big blind for around 90,000 and Soyza quickly called when action folded back to him.

Elton Tsang: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Michael Soyza: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Tsang was behind and at risk as he ran into Soyza's pocket kings. The flop came {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} which gave him some straight and flush opportunities but they didn't come as the turn came the {6-Diamonds} and the river the {10-Hearts} to eliminate him from the tournament.

Tsang quickly reentered.

Burns Adds More Thanks To River

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was on the flop that read {5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}. From the cutoff, Michael Soyza bet 6,500, Kahle Burns raised to 26,000 from middle position and Soyza called.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}. Burns led out for 40,000 and Soyza called.

The river came the {j-Hearts}. Burns made a very small downsized bet of 10,000. Soyza tossed in the chips and saw Burns table the {j-Spades}{6-Spades} showing that he had found the winner on the river to add more to his stack.

Antonius Gets Up

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was on the river with the board having ran out {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. It was a blind on blind battle as Patrik Antonius had bet on both the flop and turn from the small blind was called both times by Danny Tang in the big blind.

On the river, Antonius bet 18,000 and this time Tang jammed all in. Antonius went into the tank as he was covered. He used up all his time banks before eventually calling as his final time extension wound down.

Tang tabled the {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for two pair, which Antonius had the no good {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and he was busted shortly after sitting down.

Tang Bombs River

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The board read {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs} on the river with a pot of 26,000 in the middle. From the cutoff Danny Tang bet more than twice the pot as he put out 60,500.

Paul Phua was in the small blind and slammed down a couple of time banks and thought it out. He acted perplexed by the bet by making some comments and was able to get Tang to break his composure for a second by busting out laughing during the tank.

Eventually, Phua folded and Tang gathered the pot.
