Christian Zetzsche

Level 1 : Blinds 0/0, 500 ante

On a heads-up turn of A♥Q♣8♣6♥, Paul Teoh in the big blind and Wei Hsiang Yeu from under the gun both checked. Teoh then led the 10♠ river for 28,000, nearly two thirds of the pot. Yeu only mulled it over for a few seconds to then fold.

Yu Doubles Through Yap

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 0/0, 1,000 ante

Three-ways to the K♥Q♥10♠ flop, Winfred Yu jams over the top when he faces a reraise to 32,000 by he button and the call by Jun Wah Yap. The button opted to fold, but Yap called.

Winfred Yu: A♥J♥
Jun Wah Yap: Q♣Q♦

Yu's flopped broadway with the flush draw locked up the double for 72,500 on the 6♥ turn with an unbeatable flush as the 10♦ river gave Yap a now meaningless full house.

Yong Chips Up and Shows Broadway

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 0/0, 1,000 ante

Paul Teoh limped and so did the cutoff. The second White Horse Club member on the table then bumped it up to 6,000 on the button for Richard Yong in the small blind and both others to come along.

They checked the K♥10♣8♦ flop and Yong bet the K♦ turn for 5,000, only the button called. Yong also bet the Q♥ river for 20,000 and earned a fold, showing the A♠J♣ for broadway.

Small Pot for Yong

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 0/0, 1,000 ante

Four-ways limped to a flop of 8♥8♠7♦, it checked to Wai Kin Yong on the button who bet 4,000. Only Nobuaki Sasaki called in the cutoff and then checked the A♦ turn. Yong now bet 7,000 off a short stack and Sasaki folded.

Yeu Down a Bullet

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 0/0, 1,000 ante

Wei Hsiang Yeu gets his stack in before the flop with the A♣J♠ and he is up against one of the White Horse Club members, who tabled the K♦J♦. While the A♥10♣7♥ flop gave Yeu top pair, the Q♣ turn improved his opponent to broadway and the chop never happened on the 6♣ river.

Yeu reloaded to a fresh 100,000 stack and has one bullet behind on his first entry.

Final Bullet for Yeu and Tang

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 0/0, 1,000 ante

On a three-way flop of A♠10♠7♣, Winfred Yu bet 15,000 and then folded to the all-in of Wei Hsiang Yeu and the reshove by a White Horse Club player.

Yeu tabled the A♥10♥ for the top two pair and they are up against 9♣8♦ for the open-ended straight draw. On a J♥ turn and 7♠ river runout, the run-bad of Yeu continued and he redeemed the final bullet.

Danny Tang is also down to the last bullet as well. He previously ran into a flopped flush and the very same White Horse Club member then jammed a 9♥8♦7♥A♥ turn out of the big blind. Tang used two time bank extensions and called it off with the 9♠8♠ for two pair. That was up against J♠J♥ and the river brought the K♥.

Yap Sent Back to the Drawing Board

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 0/0, 1,000 ante

Over on table three, the latest White Horse Club member has gone on a rampage and increased his stack to around 600,000 off a single bullet with two bullets behind. Their latest victim was Jun Wah Yap who couldn't beat A♠7♠ on the 10♠8♠7♥A♥J♠ board.

No player has lost all of their bullets yet as 14 players remain seated.
