Jamiszewski and Zhang Eliminated

The players have wasted no time getting straight into the action and there have been several double-ups and bust outs already. We’ll start with the bust outs as they’re the most exciting.

It was Poland’s Karol Janiszewski who paved the way for his own elimination with a raise to 19,000 from under-the-gun plus one and the action folded around to big blind Lim Chin Wei, who peeked down at his cards and announced raise, making it 53,000 to go.

Janiszewski made the call and it was off to a flop of which Wei led for 45,000. Janiszewski made the call once more and the hit the turn and this is when all the chips went in.

Wei fired a second barrel of 95,000 and Janiszewski pulled the trigger, eliciting an instant call from his opponent.

It’s always a little depressing to get the chips in and find out you’re toast and despite flopping top two Janiszewski was trailing to Wei’s top set. That’s a setup hand if ever we’ve seen one and the Polish player headed for the changing rooms for an early bath while Wei stacked up to 732,000.

Table three appears to be the table of death at present as the short-stacked Bobby Zhang, also seated at the table, departed shortly afterward, though we were unable to catch his exit hand.
