Level 7 : Blinds 0/0, 5,000 ante

Paul Teoh and William Teoh get it in after the flop with the latter on the button and the board reading J♣10♠8♣,

Paul Teoh: 8♦8♠
William Teoh: J♦10♣

The 10♥ turn reduced the outs of Paul Teoh to one and instead, it was William Teoh who improved to quads on the 10♦ river.

Level 7 : Blinds 0/0, 5,000 ante

William Teoh had previously scored a double-up as Richard Yong was left with fumes, still holding bullets behind. Yong then got it in with the Q♥9♣ and Teoh happily called with the A♠A♣.

There was no escape for Yong on a J♥J♠7♣K♠7♠ runout as he reloaded another stack of 100,000.

Level 7 : Blinds 0/0, 5,000 ante

Eng Soon Ewe has one bullet behind and just shy of one bullet at his disposal. The same table also features Eng Siang Ewe, who got involved in a heads-up pot with big stack Rene van Krevelen. The Q♠9♠7♥6♦ turn saw van Krevelen check-raise from 15,000 to 75,000 and his table neighbour called.

Van Krevelen checked the 10♦ river and instantly folded when Ewe bet what appeared to be 150,000.

A Chip and a Chair for Sasaki

Level 6 : Blinds 0/0, 4,000 ante

Nobuaki Sasaki escaped from losing a bullet when his K♥Q♣ has very little equity versus A♥J♥ after a A♠7♦6♠ flop. The 8♦ turn and 9♠ river brought a straight on the board for the escape.

Soon after, Sasaki got it in with the A♦J♠ and Wei Hsiang Yeu looked him up as slight inferior stack, turning over the Q♣Q♠.

The pocket pair improved to a full house on the A♥Q♥7♣A♣K♠ as Sasaki was denied the second miracle in a row.

Level 6 : Blinds 0/0, 4,000 ante

Eng Siang Ewe was all-in for 96,000 with the A♥7♥. He faced two opponents with A♦K♠ and A♠J♥, the latter of which belonged to Ming Hong Teoh.

The Q♦9♦8♥8♥6♣ runout gave Ewe a wheel for the triple up.

One table over, Ewe and Teoh were also involved in the following showdown.

Eng Soon Ewe: K♦10♦
Paul Teoh: Q♣J♣

The same result in terms of last names took place when Ewe turned broadway and rivered a flush on the A♥Q♦9♠J♦8♦ board.

Level 6 : Blinds 0/0, 4,000 ante

Paul Teoh just limped and then instantly called when Lun Loon pushed all-in from the next seat.

Paul Teoh: A♣A♠
Lun Loon: K♣J♠

The trap worked for Teoh on the Q♠Q♦8♥10♥6♣ runout as he doubled for more than 200,000.

Loon jammed for 26,000 in the next hand and Richard Yong went all-in over the top, having recently re-entered into the same seat.

Lun Loon: A♦6♠
Richard Yong: K♦K♣

The next big premium pair saw Loon's short stack reduced to zero on the 10♥8♠8♦10♦8♣ board and he redeemed one bullet with another behind.

Level 6 : Blinds 0/0, 4,000 ante

Winfred Yu raised to 26,000 for Wai Liat Lee in the cutoff and Danny Tang on the button to call. The Q♣10♥8♦ flop checked to Lee, who bet 45,000. Only Tang called and then faced another bet worth 60,000 on the Q♠ turn. This time, no call followed as Tang folded and flashed the cards to Lee only.

Level 6 : Blinds 0/0, 4,000 ante

Some tables are suddenly reduced to three players remaining as the chips keep on going into the middle.

One of them saw the departure of Eng Soon Ewe, who got it in ahead with A♥Q♣ against the K♣J♦ of Danny Tang.

However, Tang made two pair on the J♠9♥9♣8♠K♦ board to reduce the field by one. However, Ewe soon re-entered as the field leaped to 20 players remaining out of 30 entries.

Level 6 : Blinds 0/0, 4,000 ante

Eng Siang Ewe with the Q♣Q♥ and Ivan Ermin with the Q♠Q♦ share the same pocket pair. They are up against a White Horse Club player with the A♠7♥ and the ace strikes on the A♦J♠J♣J♥6♣ runout.

Moments later one table over, Richard Yong runs into black aces which end up making a set to also lose his final bullet for now. Wei Hsiang Yeu has already re-entered as the field approaches 30 entries.
