Kobe's Sun Run Temporarily Halted

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 0/0, 12,000 ante

Da Seng Sun re-entered into the same table and seat to then get his stack of 408,000 in preflop, which was called by the run-away chip leader Kobe. Both had plenty of history from before and Sun was ahead with A♠6♥ versus K♥J♠.

The board ran out 7♦7♥6♠A♦10♥ and Sun doubled. Kobe remains at the top of the leaderboard by a wide margin.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kobe	4,015,000 165,000	165,000
Da Seng Sun	825,000 825,000	825,000

Level 12 : Blinds 0/0, 12,000 ante

At the end of the previous level, Martin Nielsen was all-in preflop and earned two callers. Zong Tao isolated on the A♦9♦6♥6♦ turn and exposed the A♣8♥ in showdown. Nielsen was drawing dead with the K♣Q♥ as the meaningless 7♥ fell on the river.

Nielsen re-entered into the same table but different seat and got his bullet in rather quickly against Yang Yang.

Martin Nielsen: K♥J♥ All in
Yang Yang: Jx10x

The A♦K♠K♣6♣6♠ board gave Nielsen kings full of sixes for the double.

Zong Tao	1,350,000 600,000	600,000
Yang Yang	750,000 50,000	50,000

Level 11 : Blinds 0/0, 10,000 ante

Table three no longer features former big stack Sun and Kobe sits behind a mountain of chips. Both had clashed in a recent hand in which the cards of Sun were already mucked. Kobe's A♣Q♣ had made two pair on the Q♠10♦6♦10♣A♦ board and won a massive pot despite a possible straight and flush.

Dan Cates had re-entered soon after and busted both bullets, Lirui Zhang has also been eliminated as well.

Ming Zhong Liu: Q♥10♥

The board came A♠9♣6♦8♥10♣ and Wang more than doubled. CD grabbed into the muck and exposed his Q♠Q♦ that he had folded.

Level 11 : Blinds 0/0, 10,000 ante

Two of the biggest stacks in the field tangle in a medium-sized pot to the 9♦9♥7♥8♦A♣ river on which Kobe bet 150,000. Sun went into the tank and eventually folded.

Before collecting the pot, Kobe flashed his A♥A♦ right into the middle of the table. Also on the rise is Quan Zhou, who has reached seven digits without any massive clashes as of lately.

Level 10 : Blinds 0/0, 8,000 ante

The cards were all but rushed away and Travis vaulted out of his chair to then quickly leave the tournament area. His K♦J♦ were still exposed and they had missed a board of 8♦7♠6♣A♦7♣, in which he had turned a flush draw. Gavin was the one to collect the pot with 10♥9♥ for a flopped straight.

With the turn showing Q♣7♠6♣A♦ and some 266,000 in the middle, Kobe opted to check. Liu Cheng bet 150,000 only to face the check-shove by the big stack.

Cheng was stunned for a few seconds, glanced at Kobe and folded.
