Lee and Ni on the Rail

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jung Chou Lee
Jung Chou Lee

Just before the end of the level, another two players were eliminated.

First up it was Jung Chou Lee who was all in with the {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and runaway chip leader Shenming Yin looked him up with the {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop almost made it a lock for Lee but the {6-Clubs} turn and {7-Spades} river gave Yin a straight.

Both could still laugh about it, snapped a picture of the board and even together before Lee headed to the payout desk.

In the last hand of the level, Xiaohang Ni was all in with the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and Hideyoshi Tanaka called with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}. There would be no help on the {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds} board to reduce the field to the last 46 hopefuls.

Xiong Busts Chen; Doubles Another Chen

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Tao Chen was all in with the {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} and Fei Xiong looked him up with the superior {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} when the flop showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}.

The {7-Hearts} turn officially left Chen drawing dead as the blank {9-Hearts} river rolled off .

Just one hand later, another Chen took on Xiong and that was Qifeng Chen. Down to 173,000 he pushed with {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} when facing a raise by Shenming Yin from middle position and Xiong moved all in over the top, Yin instantly folded.

Qifeng Chen: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Fei Xiong: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Neither the {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop nor the {2-Diamonds} turn provided any help for Xiong and the {5-Clubs} on the river avoided back-to-back Chen eliminations

Lee Rises Further After Eliminating Hu

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Calvin Lee in early position flat-called a raise by the under-the-gun player and two further callers out of the blinds made it four-ways to the {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop on which the action checked to the initial raiser. A bet o 30,000 followed and Lee called, as did Zhewen Hu in the big blind.

After the {10-Hearts} turn, action checked to Lee and he bet 70,000. Hu was in the tank and eventually shipped all in for 170,000 to force out the third player in the hand, Lee snap-called.

Zhewen Hu: {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Calvin Lee: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

A blank {7-Clubs} came on the river and Lee jumped above one million in chips.
