Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Silviu Baltateanu
Silviu Baltateanu

Silviu Baltateanu and Andrew Chen built a pot of around 8,000 as they saw a flop of 42A. Both players then checked and the 10 fell on the turn.

Baltateanu moved all in for 18,000 in the hijack and Chen snap-called on the button. Baltateanu had 43 for a pair and straight draw, but he was trailing Chen's AK.

The 5 river gave Baltateanu his straight and earned him a double up. "You checked the flop. It's never an ace. I tried to bluff," Baltateanu said to Chen as he took in the pot.

There was a dispute over how much the legal raise was and it took a few minutes before it was resolved and Song's raise stood. Barouk got out of the way, but Thiriart stuck around to see the 7Q7 flop.

Song continued for 3,000 and Thiriart called. The turn was the 7 and Song bet another 6,000. Thiriart again called and checked to Song on the 8 river, and this time Song checked back.

Weber Leaves Wang on Fumes

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

"Floorman, time on Table 34," exclaimed the dealer as Yanfeng Wang was deep in the tank.

With around 21,000 in the pot on the 107Q9 board, Quentin Weber had moved all in for 19,800 from the big blind, which had sent Wang into the blender.

Wang, who had been thinking for several minutes, had been given an extra 30 seconds to make his decision, and as around seven seconds remained, he called as the slightly bigger stack.

Quentin Weber: 99All in
Yanfeng Wang: KK

Weber had leapfrogged the kings by improving to a set on the turn. Wang, while behind, still had plenty of outs with his flush and straight draws along with the two kings still in the deck.

The 3 however kept Weber in front and he left Wang with just a few thousand.

Wang would only survive for a few more hands before being eliminated.
