Any suited combos hold more value in Short Deck and it came as no surprise that two of them clashed in the latest preflop contest. Danny Tang looked up a shorter stacked White Horse Club member with Q♣J♣ and was behind versus A♦Q♦.
The J♦10♥8♥6♠Q♠ board gave Tang two pair and he leaped above the starting stack.

Danny Tang earned a full double for 106,000 when he remained ahead all the way with A♦K♠ versus J♦10♣. Thanks to a board of A♠J♠6♣6♥10♠, Tang avoided to redeem another bullet.
In the meanwhile, the field grew by two entries as Ming Hong Teoh as well as Ivan Ermin jumped in with their first entry.

Wai Kin Yong had lost two bullets already and the last one saw him get it in with the A♠Q♣ before the flop. One player jammed the J♣10♦ and Nobuaki Sasaki got involved with the A♦K♦.
The 8♦7♣6♥9♣6♣ runout left Yong drawing dead on the turn for him to become the first casualty of the tournament.

Down to the last bullet on the first entry, Nobuaki Sasaki was all-in against the latest player to join the field and in trouble with 9♠9♣ versus J♣J♦. Both flopped a set on J♠9♦8♥ and the Q♥ turn provided some chop outs. Instead, Sasaki spiked the one-outer with the 9♣ river to essentially double up.

A reraise to 7,000 was in front of Rene van Krevelen on the button and Wai Kiat Lee as the initial raiser looked over. "You have 100k, right?" he inquired before coming along. The duo headed to the K♦8♦6♥ flop on which Lee check-folded to a bet.

Richard Yong called a bet by a White Horse Club member on the K♦Q♦9♣ flop and then let go on the 9♥ turn when the bet sizing increased to 15,000. He exposed the 10♣ in the process and was first shown the A♦ followed by the 9♦ for bottom pair and the nut flush draw.

The PHP 280,000 Short Deck Event winner Rene van Krevelen called bets of 3,000 on the K♥9♦6♦ flop and 8,000 on the J♥ turn while on the button. His opponent was Wai Kiat Lee in the small blind, who then bet 70,000 on the A♦ river when the flush draw completed.
Van Krevelen tossed in two time bank extensions right away and eventually called. Lee tabled the A♥A♣ for a set of aces, which beat the 9♣9♥ of van Krevelen.
