Huangfu Shows Alberto the Door
The field is now up to 75 runners, 69 of whom are still in action with one of the more recent eliminations Mario Alberto meaning the tournament is now shy one Spaniard.
Alberto had not got his starting flight off to the best of starts and had just 3,100 of his 15,000 starting stack left, which he moved all-in from the cutoff. Action folded around to Fengwei Huangfu in the big blind and the Chinese player made a quick call.
Mario Alberto: 
Fengwei Huangfu: 
While Alberto had got it in with Chinese aces (eights are considered lucky in the part of the world) they were not as good as Huanfu’s fish hooks and the 
flop was of no help to the Spanish player.
It was all over with the arrival of the 
turn and should Alberto want to make it through to Day 2 he’ll have to re-enter and Huangfu stacked up to 25,000.
