Soyza Shows Aces

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ngoc Tai Hoang limped the button and Kazuhiko Yotsushika filled up from the small blind. Michael Soyza in the big blind raised and was called only by Yotsushika. On a flop of {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}, Yotsushika check-folded to a bet of 9,000 and was shown the {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} by Soyza.

Assorted Stacks

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Pete Chen was down to as low as 27,000 but doubled and then three-bet jammed successfully to win some more chips.

Now that the late registration has closed, some new big stacks have emerged with Lestr Edoc, Lei Yu and Joshua Zimmerman all in prime position to make a deep run.

Su and Xu Bow Out

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Feng Chen
Feng Chen

Bo Xu used two time-bank extensions and eventually called all in from the button with the {a-Clubs}{9-Spades} as Edward Kim had pushed in the cutoff with the slightly superior stack and {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. None of the overcards or any other shenanigans appeared on the board and Xu headed to the rail.

He was joined there moments later by Jin Su, who had an above-average stack not long ago. His stack was sent one seat over to Feng Chen who appears to be the current chip leader with fewer than 90 players remaining.

Big Double for He

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ang Li was among the early casualties on Day 2 and his seat was now occupied by Takashi Ogura, who just lost a big portion of his stack after clashing with Zhiao He.

It remains unclear when the chips went in as Ogura had flopped a set of deuces with the {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} while He hit an open-ended straight draw with {9-Clubs}{8-Spades} on a board of {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades} to score the full double. Ogura's stack was reduced to around 12 big blinds only.

Joshua Zimmerman
Joshua Zimmerman

In a three-bet pot to the {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop, Joshua Zimmerman from under the gun and Yang Zhang on the button invested 10,000 each to see the {3-Clubs} turn that was checked through. Zimmerman then simply pushed all in after the {2-Spades} river and Zhang folded.

Victor Chong, Heng Wang and Takashi Ogura have all been eliminated in the meanwhile.

Yuan Doubles

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Guoliang Wei has been eliminated and Ye Yuan was one card away from suffering the same fate.

In a battle of the blinds, Hiroyuki Noda had pushed for an effective 35,500 as that's what Yuan had left and picked up a quick call.

Ye Yuan: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Hiroyuki Noda: {j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

The board came {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Hearts} and the trey on the flop gave Noda the lead only for Yuan to spike the king on the river.
