Tabucal Eliminated by Dela Cruz

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ivan Tabucal
Ivan Tabucal

Two players from the Philippines collided when Ivan Tabucal on the button and Edwin Dela Cruz in the small blind tangled in a three-bet pot. Dela Cruz fired three barrels, and he was called down by Tabucal eventually.

Prior to the J758Q river, Tabucal only had around 20,000 behind and sighed when he faced the shove by Dela Cruz with the marginally covering stack. Ultimately, he made the call and Dela Cruz revealed the 88 for a set as he exposed the 66 for a missed straight draw before heading out of the tournament area.

Teoh Back With a Big Stack

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The aggressive play of William Teoh has paid off once more as he won a showdown pot versus Wooseok Kim, who was left rather stunned and surprised. On a board of AK10J9, they get 17,000 in on the river and Kim tabled the 64 for a flush. Teoh had that beat with the 92 and pulled ahead of his opponent.

Former big stack Tien Thanh Dinh was all-in with a short stack and turned over the 66 in showdown. He was up against Junho Kim with the QJ and fell behind almost immediately on the Q72 flop.

The 9 turn left Dinh with two outs and the 5 river was not among them. Almost at the same time, Valeriy Pak was eliminated as well to bring the field down to the last 32 hopefuls.

Lee Survives Another All-In Showdown

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Won Jae Lee was all-in with the dominated A6 and up against fellow countryman Wooseok Kim, who revealed the AK.

Lee had a ton of outs on the J83 flop and got there with the K turn to make the 6 river a formality. The double up was for 48,000 and Lee instantly thanked the dealer with an "I love you".

Kim Loses Lots to Mzb in Duel of Big Stacks

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Junho Kim defended his big blind against an under-the-gun raise by Harun Mzb, who proceeded to fire three barrels. The AK6 flop was check-called by Kim for 18,000 and he did so again for 40,000 on the 2 turn.

After the Q river, Kim checked the third street in a row and Mzb now fired another 80,000. More than two minutes passed before Kim called and was shown the AK for the top two pair, exposing A6 for an inferior two pair and the missed nut flush draw.
