Small Pots

RazorSharpPro

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

The nine finalists are back in action and have played four hands so far, with no hand going past the flop, and only half of these making it to a flop. Wenling Gao pushed Tony Cheng off the first hand with a pre-flop re-raise from the big blind to win the first. Albert Paik won the second with a post-flop c-bet when Chihwen Chen defended from the big blind to win the second.

The third hand was a limped pot blind on blind battle between Chen and Ivan Leow, which the latter took down with a flop min-bet and then Chen (button) won the fourth by coming over the top of a Gao late position raise.

Leow Wins Multi-way

RazorSharpPro

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Every time Chihwen Chen is in a hand so is Ivan Leow. Chen raised from UTG+1 with Leow making the call from one seat over. Small blind Victor Chong asked both players how much they were playing before doing some on the fly math, though he did eventually fold. Big blind Albert Paik called and it was three-way to a flop of . This was checked over to Leow, who fired for 19,000, which was enough to take it down.

Chen raised the next hand as well, only this time it was Yang Wang who called, but folded out when Chen shoved the flop.

Chen Doubles Through Leow

RazorSharpPro

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Every since Chihwen Chen showed Ivan Leow that he is willing to fold top pair (see the hand against Chung Yuan Yu four posts ago) the Malaysian has tried to play nearly every hand he can against the Taiwanese player. Unfortunately for Leow, this has resulted in a double-up for Chen.

It was another blind on blind battle and we picked up the action on a flop of with over 30,000 in the pot just as Chen fired for around the same. Leow called and the dealer burned and turned the .
