Mudgal Swings Back Up

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Dhaval Mudgal
Dhaval Mudgal

Vo Ho Duong Thai had to settle for a chop in a previous hand with ace-king on a jack-high board as her opponent was not willing to fold.

Soon after she bet again the {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} river and Dhaval Mudgal also stuck around. Thai tabled the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for a bluff and Mudgal had that beat with the {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for two pair.

Tan Beats Teng in Showdown

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Win Meng Tan called a button reraise to 11,000 by Kah Yew Teng and check-called the {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop for 10,000. Both then knuckled the {a-Clubs} turn and {9-Spades} river for Tan to reveal the {j-Spades}{10-Spades}. A pair of tens was good enough to win the pot as Teng mucked his cards.

Vincent Li is no longer to be found on the same table as Day 1a is nearing an end.

Do Scores a Tech-nical Knockout

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
John Tech
John Tech

John Tech was all-in for the last 15,000 and Vu Tien Do from one seat over apparently asked if that was an all-in while several other players understood this to be a declaration of all-in as well. The floor was called and it was ruled he had to go all-in as well, which then forced out everybody else.

John Tech: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}
Vu Tien Do: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The {k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} board left Tech without equity right away while Duy Lam Pham mentioned he would have called the first all-in with his pair of tens.

First Misstep By Wong

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A short stack was all-in for 13,000 following a raise to 4,500 and Fuk On Wong then reraised to 25,000 out of the blinds. The initial raiser folded and Wong tabled the {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. The short stack held the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and survived on a {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs} runout but vanished soon after.

"That is your first bad hand, I call you Mister Aces," another player at the table remarked.

Jung Knocked Out by Lee

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Seung Mook Jung
Seung Mook Jung

Seung Mook Jung pushed for around 40,000 and that had sent Seokyoung Lee into a tank with 2,000 out in front. Eventually, Lee called and the cards were turned over.

Seung Mook Jung: {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Seokyoung Lee: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The kicker played on the {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} board that missed both players and Jung will have to try again in one of the remaining two flights.

At almost the same time, Grant Gardner was eliminated by Neel Joshi and the Day 1a field already dropped below 100 hopefuls still in contention.

Mudgal Gets Some Chips Back

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Dhaval Mudgal had lost a portion of his bigger stack but earned some of it back right before his table broke. On a heads-up turn of {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, he bet 28,000 for half the pot while in the small blind. Ngoc Quoc Bao Pham was in the tank in the cutoff and reluctantly folded.

Mike Takayama

Jun Hee Kim min-raised just before the blinds went up and was called by Linh Khanh Ta on the button. Jeffrey Pamplona then three-bet to 15,000 and Mike Takayama pushed all-in for 61,500 total. No call followed as one opponent after the other folded.

"Nice move," Kim said while Pamplona tapped the table.
