Sukonthacharnant Doubles Up

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Phanlert Sukonthachartnant just doubled up through Jacob Rasmussen for 69,500 when he held {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} against the {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades} of Rasmussen.

The board ran out {7-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for Sukonthachartnant to hit a flush on the turn to stay alive. Rasmussen was in trouble now though as Rasmussen is now left behind with less than 7 big blinds.

Rasmussen Fails to Double Up

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Jacob Rasmussen
Jacob Rasmussen

Contrary to what Phanlert Sukonthachartnant has managed to do when he became short, Jacob Rasmussen was eliminated just when the break started.

With eleven seconds to go on the tournament clock, the last hand on his table was being dealt. Rasmussen shoved for 58,000 in total from under the gun and was called by Sukonthachartnant in the small blind. Wenling Gao sighed and reluctantly folded her big blind.

They both opened one card first which was a king for both of them. They both laughed and then revealed their second cards:

Jacob Rasmussen: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Phanlert Sukonthachartnant: {K-Spades}{A-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} to not provide any help to Rasmussen as he was eliminated for now. The late registration and reentry period remains open until the start of Level 12 tomorrow so he might be back later today or tomorrow.

Gao Gains More

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Wenling Gao

The flop read {Q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs} with around 44,000 in the middle already. Phanlert Sukonthachartnant bet 16,000 in the big blind and Wenling Gao called from under the gun. Michael Addamo considered his options and raised to 75,000. Sukonthachartnant checked his cards once more and then folded. Gao took some time and then opted to make the call.

They both checked through the {10-Hearts} on the turn and the {10-Spades} on the river. Gao tabled {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for the runner-runner full house and that was enough to make Addamo muck his hand.

Aido Back to Almost Starting Stack

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Sergio Aido

Phachara Wongwichit completed his small blind and Sergio Aido chose to check his big blind.

The dealer spread out {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{Q-Clubs} on the flop and Wongwichit check-called Aido's bet of 10,000 bet.

They both checked through the {7-Diamonds} on the turn to the {6-Hearts} on the river. Wongwichit checked for the last time. Aido barreled another 26,000 over the line and Wongwichit backed down and threw his cards away.

Wang Makes the Right Call

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Ye Wang

The board read {9-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Spades} with around 100,000 in the pot. Takashi Ogura had bet 60,000 from the big blind and Ye wang was sitting on the button, trying to figure out what to do. He looked at the board and decided to make the call.

Ogura sighed and turned over {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}, Wang couldn't see if Ogura had the flush or not and the table confirmed Ogura had just ace-high. Wang flipped over {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for the turned pair of jacks which was enough to take the pot down.
