Wai Kin Yong
Wai Kin Yong

Manig Loeser joined the action after the first break and has immediately eliminated Wai Kin Yong. Koray Aldemir opened the action with a raise and Yoon flatted on the button. Loeser was in the small blind and three-bet to 40,000. Aldemir decided to fold which gave Yong the opportunity to move all in. Loeser made the call and the cards were turned on their backs.

Manig Loeser: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Wai Kin Yong: {a-}{q-}

Board: {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{X-}

Yong was unable to hit on the board, and after earlier seeing his ace-king lose to pocket aces, he becomes the first player to exit the Triton Super High Roller, as recent entrant Loeser moved up to 370,000.

Short Stack Adam Trebles Up

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The board was down {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs} with Timothy Adam all in for just 20,000 in the big blind. Phil Ivey was up against Dietrich Fast for the side pot and bet big for 150,000 with {a-Spades}{q-Spades}. Fast had the best hand with pocket kings but was unsure over his decision. Fast had thrown four time bank cards while thinking over his options before he folded.

Adams had the best hand with pocket sixes to treble up, and Ivey took the side pot.

Becker Folds to Aldemir Shove

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Koray Aldemir raised to 8,500 from the cutoff and saw his compatriot Johannes Becker three-bet to 22,000 on the button. Both players in the blinds got out the way, and with the decision, back on Aldemir, he thought for a minute. As he approached needing to use a time bank card, he moved all in and saw Becker quickly fold as the duo shared a smile and a laugh as Aldemir stacked his chips.
