Short Stack Double for Torres

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Dinh Manh Hung tank-folded to a shove by Valeriy Pak on the Q♦9♠3♥2♥K♣ river.

Soon after, Ricardo Torres moved all-in for his last 70,000 and was called by Sriharsha Doddapaneni in the small blind.

Ricardo Torres: A♥8♥
Sriharsha Doddapaneni: A♦6♦

Both players had a straight draw on the 7♦5♣4♣ flop and 2♥ turn. However, the Q♠ river changed nothing and the kicker played.

Tsang Flipped Out by Dela Cruz

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Over on table four, a classic flip unfolded in which Alan Tsang was all-in and at risk for around 315,000 against Edwin Dela Cruz for the following showdown to emerge.

Alan Tsang: A♦K♠
Edwin Dela Cruz: Q♦Q♥

The very chatty Tsang had two overcards at his disposal but none of them showed up on the 6♠4♥2♦5♣10♣ board, reducing the field to the last 28 contenders.

Erquiaga Knocks Out Mondalo and Quiambao

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Bonifacio Mondalo pushed all-in for 135,000 from under the gun and Cezar Quiambao did so for 235,000 in the cutoff. David Erquiaga in the big blind asked for a count and pushed in his chips as well.

Bonifacio Mondalo: A♦6♥
Cezar Quiambao: J♦J♣
David Erquiaga: A♥K♣

Erquiaga instantly improved on the K♦2♠2♣ flop, then remained ahead on the 5♠ turn and 6♣ river. Both stacks were counted and Erquiaga as well as Quiambao had exactly the same in 235,000.

Tolentino Knocked Out in Large Pot by Lee

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Emmanuel Segismundo raised to 35,000 on the button and was called by Won Jae Lee in the small blind. What followed was a three-bet shove by Richard Tolentino in the big blind for massive 515,000. Segismundo asked for an exact count and tanked for more than four minutes, folding very reluctantly.

Lee then instantly called and the cards were revealed.

Richard Tolentino: A♦2♥
Won Jae Lee: 7♣7♠

Lee celebrated already when he saw himself ahead and that remained to be the case on the 9♠4♥2♦5♦10♠ runout.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Over on table two, the board showed A♣9♦9♥5♦ and Emmanuel Segismundo checked from under the gun. Richard Tolentino in the cutoff then bet 75,000 only for Segismundo to check-raise to 185,000 total.

Tolentino went deep into the tank and folded.

Soon after that, Jose Drilon lost the remainder of his short stack and that brought the field up to 31 entries.

The hand played itself and it was Lee who won it thanks to the 8♦4♣2♠5♥7♦ board.
