Lo Riding Rollercoaster

The carnage continues and the man who’s stack is see-sawing up and down wildly at the moment is Hong Kong’s Jeffrey Lo. The last time we checked the Hong King player had a stack of 500k plus, but that was no longer the case the next time we walked past his table and found him all in for roughly seven big blinds against Yu Fei.

But how did we get here? Well, Lo was kind enough to fill us in on all the gory details. According to Lo, the hand that saw him lose the majority of his chips came against Yuefeng Pan a couple of orbits ago. The two were seated at the same table for a lot of Day 2B and had history, which bled over into today as they are both at the same table once again.

It was Lo who was the instigator, making it 18,000 to go from the cutoff with and Pan played back at him from the small blind and popped it up to 45,000. Lo responded with a re-raise to 100,000 and Pan clicked it back with a bet to 200,000.

Lo decided to get it in, shoving for over 500,000 and Pan called so fast his chips left skid marks on the felt, rolling over to see him climb to 900,000 while Lo was left almost destitute with a stack of 76,000.

And that brings us nicely up to the Fei vs Lo hand we started with. Fei was one of the other shorties at the table and moved all in with and Lo decided to roll the dice on the button and made the call with .

The board ran out and Lo climbed back up to 160,000. Unfortunately for Yu Fei he was unable to recover after losing that flip to Lo and departed shortly afterward.

We had a quick scout of the room but came running back just minutes later to find Lo all-in again, this time against Hon Cheong Lee.

Lee was the initial raiser, making it 25,000 to go from the button and Lo got in his 160,000-stack from the big blind with Lee making a quick call.

The Hong Kong player won the race in some style on the runout, binking a set to climb back up to 330,000 while Lee took a hit and dropped below 100,000.
