Fish Over 100 Million!

Level 29 : 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Brian Yoon in the small blind and Darryll Fish in the big blind went heads-up to a flop of {j-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Yoon check-called a bet of 3.0 million from Fish and the {q-Spades} landed on the turn.

Yoon checked again and Fish fired another 7.5 million into the middle. Yoon check-raised to 20.0 million and Fish went into the tank, using two of his time extensions. After a minute, Fish announced all in and Yoon instantly tossed his cards to the muck. Fish dragged in a healthy-sized pot to move into the chip lead.

Chan and Nguyen Have a Classic Flip

Level 29 : 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Chi Tsun Chan opened to 2.5 million from under the gun and Tommy Nguyen then three-bet to 6 million from the button. Chan went all in over the top to 34.8 million and Nguyen called. Both players tabled their hands and Chan would be at risk of elimination.

Chi Tsun Chan: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Tommy Nguyen: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The board came {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Nguyen would now need to dodge an ace or king on the river for the elimination. Chan got the card he needed when the {k-Hearts} came on the river.

Nguyen slammed a chip on the table and shook his head as he pushed 34.8 million of his stack over to Chan who just hit the river to stay alive.

Tommy Nguyen opened to 2.5 million from the hijack and Norson Saho three-bet to 6.5 million on the button. Nguyen made the call and the flop fell {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

Both players checked to the {a-Spades} on the turn and Nguyen led out for 9.0 million. Saho shoved all in and Nguyen snap-called. Saho tabled {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for two pair but Nguyen turned a straight with {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. The river brought the {3-Clubs} and Nguyen held on to score a huge double up. Saho was left with just over one million chips and would go on to bust just a couple of hands later.
