Do Avoids Further Damage

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

There was some confusion over on table three as a South Korean player called for the floor. On a heads-up turn of {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}, he had check-raised from 3,500 to 7,900. Vu Tien Do then grabbed two T-5,000 chips and reraised to 12,500 and the Korean player inquired if that was allowed.

Some "lost in translation" followed and ultimately the reraise stood. The Korean jammed and Do folded, getting shown {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the nut straight.

Pham Scores a Knockout

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A shorter stack from South Korea was all-in for the last 18,600 and she was narrowly covered by former big stack Duy Lam Pham. Her {a-Spades}{10-Spades} was trailing versus {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} but improved on the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop.

The {8-Diamonds} turn was a blank but the {7-Hearts} river gave Pham a flush, as his opponent banged the fist on the table in disgust and then told her friends from one table over.

"You killed my stack with the full house," Pham dropped in the table chat and pointed to Jeffrey Pamplona, who sits on a very healthy stack.

A Double and More for Wong

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Fuk On Wong
Fuk On Wong

Malaysia's Fuk On Wong was flipping with {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} versus {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and remained ahead throughout a board of {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{q-Spades}. He then three-bet an open to 3,200 and received one caller. Wong continued for 2,000 on the {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop to get called.

Both players checked the {j-Spades} turn and the {8-Hearts} fell on the river. Wong now fired a bet of 12,000 and that won the pot uncontested.

Ta Binks Spectacular Four-Way All-In

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Linh Khanh Ta
Linh Khanh Ta

There was a loud uproar in the back of the room as several players vaulted out of their seat. The dealer was busy counting side pots to make sure the correct amounts would be awarded while two players were knocked out.

The cards were still tabled but it was indistinguishable who had what, only Linh Khanh Ta as the winner was certain. His {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} had rivered an unlikely straight on the {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} board. Renato Villanueva was among those to depart with {a-Spades}{10-Spades} while two other players were involved with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Roller Coaster Double for Campomanes

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Florencio Campomanes
Florencio Campomanes

Facing a limper just before the blinds went up, Florencio Campomanes raised and was called by one opponent. There was then a raise to 5,500 which the initial limper called and Campomanes clicked it back to 16,100. Only the limper called and got his chips in after the {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop by check-calling the shove of the Filipino.

Florencio Campomanes: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Campomanes wasn't expecting to be ahead and then fell behind after the {q-Diamonds} turn. However, there was another twist to the story as the {a-Spades} river secured the double up of Campomanes.

Triple Up for Gardner

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Grant Gardner three-bet jammed for the last 6,600 and was called two ways including by Jeffrey Lo from one seat over. The two active players checked down the {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} board and Gardner showed the {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

It was good enough for the triple up as Lo's {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} and the {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} of the third player were no good.

Wu Bluffed by Luong

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Three ways to the {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop, the action checked to Quang Van Luong and he bet 1,600. Aigars Plivcs in the small blind folded and Jack Wu then check-raised to 6,300 for Luong to call.

Both checked the {9-Diamonds} turn and Luong bet the {3-Spades} river for 6,900 when checked to by Wu, who opted to fold. Luong tabled the {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a successful bluff.
