Chen Busted

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Guoliang Chen
Guoliang Chen

Guoliang Chen had a bet of 16,000 in front of him on the button with {9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades} on the felt. Robert Brobyn set him in for about 41,000 total, and a torn Chen went into the tank for a few minutes before opting to call it off. He flipped over {a-}{a-} but Brobyn had {j-Spades}{10-Clubs} for trips.

Vo Wins a Race

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

Danny Vo opened for 5,500 and called the all-in shove of a player on the button who had about 40,000. Vo's {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} was flipping against {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, and the {5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} board kept the jacks best.

Morgado Gets Aggressive

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player opened for 4,000 under the gun and Alvaro Morgado made it 15,000 in the small blind. His opponent called and the {3-Spades}{a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop was checked through to the {9-Hearts}. Morgado bet 25,000 and received a fairly quick call. On the {9-Spades} river, Morgado counted out about 50,000 then opted to just shove all in for about 93,000 total. His opponent folded moments later.

Stashin Trending Down

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Michael Stashin
Michael Stashin

Michael Stashin was nearing 200,000 a bit ago but now finds himself only around 90,000 after doubling up Andrew Wu. They were all in preflop for about 16,000 with Wu holding {k-}{k-} and Stashin having him at risk with {a-}{8-} from the big blind. The board ran {3-}{9-}{3-}{10-}{q-}, good for a Wu double.

Flip Sends Dong to Rail

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Updated Chip Counts

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Malinin on Crumbs

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Andrey Malinin three-bet to 10,000 out of the big blind against an opponent who made it 3,000 on the button. That player responded with an all-in shove for 49,900, which Malinin quickly called.

Andrey Malinin: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} board did nothing for Malinin, and he's down to a few blinds.

Dessert for Alberto

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The players hadn't been back from dinner 15 minutes before George Alberto raked in some dessert.

A series of limps prompted a player in the small blind to rip it in for about 55,000. George Alberto, who opened the action under the gun, flicked in a chip to call, and everyone else quickly folded.

"Well, I'm screwed," the all-in player announced. "I was just trying to steal."

He flipped over {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and was in bad shape against {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. The {6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} board had Alberto locked in on the turn.

"Save some chips for the rest of us," someone else said.
