Two Knockouts and a Double-Up
Paul Teoh jammed his short stack in with the A♠J♦ and Eng Siang Ewe looked him up with the Q♥Q♠ form the next seat.
The board ran out K♦K♥9♥9♦6♦ and the queens held as the field was brought down to the last 13 contenders.
Danny Tang then jammed over the top of a raise by Paul Phua and engaged in friendly table banter, seemingly asking for a fold. He was called and the cards were revealed.
Danny Tang: A♣8♥
Paul Phua: K♣Q♣
The A♥Q♥6♥6♦9♥ board delivered a double-up to Tang.
Moments later the floor staff announced for the action to stop as another player was eliminated. That happened to be Ghai Pang Yap, who got it in with ten-nine for top two pair on 10♦9♠6♠. Winfred Yu looked him up with the K♠8♠ for a gutshot and flush draw, which missed the J♣ turn but hit on the A♠ river.
