Big Chip Movements
A lot of chips have changed hands recently on several tables, so here's how it all went down. Sen Mu managed to earn a much needed double up at the expense of Austin Walton, with Mu the man to move all-in from UTG+1 for 179,000 with . Walton made the call from the small blind with and Mu was racing for his tournament life. The board ran out to give Mu two pair and the double to 400,000, while Walton dropped to 365,000.
Thne Ivan Leow played two sizable pots and lost both to drop a chunk of chips. In the first, it was a blind on blind battle between Seng Hwang (small blind) and Leow (big blind). We arrived just as Hwang jammed the river for 575,000 on a board reading . There was close to 500,000 in the pot already and Leow tanked long and hard before folding. Hwang flashed the Malaysian player a card, we are guessing a big diamond but could not see from where we were standing, and raked in the pot to climb to just over 1-million.
Then Leow played another blind on blind battle, this time against Yuefeng Pan that resulted in a double up for the latter. It all started with a Leow small blind limp and Pan made it 70,000 to go in the big blind. Leow then check-raised to 210,00 and after some time in the tank Pan slid out the call.
Leow quickly jammed the flop and Pan called instantly, so it was quite surprising to see the cards when they were turned over.
Ivan Leow:
Yeufeng Pan:
Pan evidently gave Leow zero credibility and called off for his tournament life with ace-high - and it was ahead. The turn and river saw Pan double to 1.1-million, while Leow dropped to 1.5-million.
