Tang Versus Tang Round Four

Level 26 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Devan Tang opened to 800,000 on the button and Danny Tang called in the big blind with {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. The {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop was checked by Tang, who then very reluctantly called a bet worth 400,000 by his namesake.

The {10-Clubs} followed on the turn and Tang checked to face a bet worth 1,000,000, which had his tiny remaining stack covered. Two time banks later, Tang opted to fold and wait for a better spot.

Level 26 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Devan Tang raised to 800,000 from under the gun with the {k-Spades}{7-Spades} and Danny Tang called all-in from the small blind for 750,000 with {j-Hearts}{9-Spades} for two live cards.

Thanks to a board of {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades}, the short stack came out on top once more.

Danny Tang raised to 2,100,000 with 50,000 behind and Hamish Crawshaw called in the big blind. Prior to the {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop, Crawshaw had already exposed his cards to then bet 100,000. Tang called it off and there was some confusion as the floorman was called to explain what had happened.

Danny Tang: {k-Spades}{6-Spades}
Hamish Crawshaw: {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

"Can we please finish this hand?" Tang inquired and the {j-Clubs} turn as well as {3-Diamonds} river ended his run. More discussions broke out thereafter as Crawshaw was initially given a three-hand penalty. While Crawshaw vaulted back into second place, Tang was eliminated in fourth and received VND 1,882,000,000 for the efforts.

Hamish Crawshaw: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Nothing changed on the {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop and {8-Hearts} turn but Tang spiked the {q-Hearts} on the river for another miracle double.

Crawshaw Continues to Slide

Level 26 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Hamish Crawshaw limped in with the {9-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Eng Soon Ewe checked his option with the {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. On the {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop, Crawshaw check-raised from 600,000 to 1,600,000 and Ewe stuck around.

The {9-Clubs} turn was checked and the {j-Clubs} fell on the river. Crawshaw now checked again and Ewe bet 1,000,000 into a pot of 4,700,000. A very painful fold followed as the recent downfall of Crawshaw continued.

Devan Tang: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Eng Soon Ewe: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop instantly gave Ewe the top two pair and there was no miracle this time for Tang on the {4-Diamonds} turn, the {7-Diamonds} river was another blank. Escape artist Tang had to settle for second place which comes with a payday of VND 3,634,000,000.

For Ewe, the second participation in a Poker Dream Super High Roller ended with a success story as he will lift the trophy and collect the top prize of VND 5,230,000,000.
