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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Picking up the action on the K♠8♥6♣ flop, John Costiniano checked his option out of the small blind and then faced a bet worth 800 by Sunwook Baek in the cutoff. The check-raise to 4,200 followed and Baek called.

That led them to the Q♣ turn on which Costiniano quickly bet 7,100. That represented nearly half of the stack of Baek, who pondered about it for a couple of seconds to then fold.
