Ledina Back And Up for the Day

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Benigno Ledina was unable to advance on Day 1a and has his eyes set on a more fortunate fate in the second of three starting days. He already scooped a few smaller pots and now claimed a bigger one by jamming all-in after the 9♠5♠4♦A♦3♦ river. With some 15,000 in the middle, his opponent quickly folded and Ledina raked in the chips.

Nagy Felted by Saquing

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With just around 6,000 in the middle to the Q♣7♦5♦J♣Q♦ river, Moses Saquing check-raised from 4,500 to 14,500. Andrej Nagy then pushed all-in and was snap-called by Saquing.

Nagy tabled the A♣Q♠ for queens up but Saquing had the best of it with the Q♥J♥ for queens full of jacks.

Hendri Forces Out Cheong

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Jhon Hendri bet the K♥10♠4♣7♣ turn for 2,500 out of the blinds to receive two callers including Day 1a bubble boy Yuan Xiang Cheong. That led to the 3♦ river on which Hendri suddenly fired a much larger bet of 15,000. There was no showdown as both opponents opted to fold.

In a battle of the blinds following a three-bet pot, Kok Weng Beh check-called the J♦4♥3♥Q♥ turn for 7,500 against Ikseok Kang and then checked the 6♣ on the river. Kang jammed with the superior stack and Beh folded after some consideration.

Saquing Turns the Nuts for a Full Double

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

In three-way action to the Q♦6♣5♣ flop, Tom Radbone checked out of the blinds and so did Kai Lee Tse in the cutoff. Moses Saquing then bet 500 on the button only for Radbone to check-raise to 2,600, earning two calls.

Radbone led the 8♦ turn for 3,700 to force out Tse and Saquing made it 11,000 to go. The shove by Radbone followed and Saquing snap-called.

Moses Saquing: 9♣7♣
Kai Lee Tse: Q♠10♠

No card in the deck except for a joker could help Tse and the 2♠ river confirmed the double of Saquing for 24,800.

Kim Doubles Through Watanabe

Christian Zetzsche

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

The very same seats and two new players got involved over on table two, as the second all-in and call unfolded.

Kyosuke Watanabe raised to 300 and received one caller in Jhon Hendri. The next player three-bet to 1,700 in the cutoff and Dae Woong Kim in the big blind four-bet to 4,600. Watanabe five-bet to 10,600 and Kim was the only caller. Both checked the 9♥5♦2♦ flop for Kim to lead the Q♥ turn for 4,500, earning a call from Watanabe.

On the 7♥ river, Kim checked and Watanabe jammed for 14,900. Kim tanked for a while and then called for 14,800. Watanabe tabled the A♦K♥ and Kim doubled with the J♥J♠, as his opponent bowed out right after.
