Jin Busts One

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jiayi Jin in the small blind called the shove of a shorter stack and Yifan Zheng in the big blind let go.

The player at risk tabled {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Jin had him dominated with the {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}. After a board of {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, the pot was shipped to Jin who jumped above the average.

Lettau Busts With Kings to Kings

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Andre Lettau
Andre Lettau

"You want to hear a sick bad beat story?" Andre Lettau said as he headed out of the tournament area.

"I got it in pre with kings versus kings and he had the {k-Clubs} to hit the flush," Lettau added. A quick look at his former table confirmed who had done the damage as Szymon Wysocki was now sitting on a stack of nearly half a million.

"I am actually disgusted, Andre and I had a nice chat," Wysocki pointed out.

That won't change much about the unfortunate outcome of the clash as Lettau is out before the money while Wysocki has a decent shot at a deep run.

Down to 153 Players

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

While the pace of eliminations has slowed down, the field continues to get trimmed further as 153 players remain late in the third level of the day and the money bubble is expected to burst after the second break of the day.

No longer in contention is Pete Chen, the former Asian player of the year was no longer in his seat that is now occupied by Paul Newey.

Jiayi Jin raised and Alvin Yifan Zheng moved all in for what appeared to be 116,000. Szymon Wysocki looked him up from one seat over and Jin folded.

Yifan Zheng: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Szymon Wysocki: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The board came {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and that spelled the end for Zheng's hopes to become a two-time champion.

Rao and Hu Up for the Day

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Yan Rao opened the action with a raise to 11,000 and picked up a call by Zhewen Hu. The flop brought {7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and a small continuation bet worth 8,000 by Rao followed, which Hu called. After the {5-Clubs} turn, Rao opened for a bet of 18,000 and that did the trick right there to shut down all further resistance.

Both Rao and Hu are up for the day and remain in contention to take home a portion of the prize pool.
