Shirley Ang

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The player in the hijack raised to 5,000 and was called by Yang Xu in the cutoff. Aaron Lim three-bet to 10,200 in the small blind and the hijack tanked. After a while, he decided to shove for 22,100. Xu did the same with the bigger stack of 38,300. Lim snap-called.

Hijack:
Yang Xu:
Aaron Lim:

The board ran out for Xu's aces to hold and eliminate the player in the hijack and get paid a full double-up by Lim. Lim was left behind with only 6,000 now.

Na Takes the Chip Lead Honors for Day 1c of the Poker King Cup Macau Main Event

Shirley Ang

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Day 1c of the 2018 Poker King Cup Macau HK$16,500 Main Event is in the books and attracted 84 players in total. Combined with the Day 1a (166) and Day 1b (268) entries, the total number of entries for the Main Event tallies up to 518. At the end of the night, 42 of them tagged a bag and Ke Fei Na took the chip lead honors for Day 1c with 139,600 in chips.

Trailing by only one big blind in second place is Yue Feng Tang with 137,100. Tang has a few recorded tournament cashes in comparison to Na who seems to have none. But none of Tang’s cashes have been huge in any way, and after bricking the High Roller this week, he will be looking to change this. Hong Bing Li closes the all-Chinese podium for Day 1c with 130,900.

Even though Day 1c was a turbo, it seemed most players were cautious to put their chips over the line. Knowing this was their last chance to make it through to Day 2, players were taking it a bit slower to make sure they would all make it to the finish line in the end. Some of the notable players failing at the final hurdle include Quan Zhou, Aaron Lim, and Jason Lo.

Of the 42 players through to Day 2, only one of them had bagged on Day 1a already. As Bart Luyckx's stack of 29,200 is shorter than his day 1a stack of 32,200. His Day 1c stack has been taken out of play.

As there is limited space, the 206 Day 1a and Day 1b survivors will return tomorrow, Sunday, September 23, at 1 PM local time and play one level of 60 minutes. They will then be sent on a break for an hour while the 41 Day 1c survivors will commence their Day 2 at 2 PM local time. Once the first level has been played for both groups, they will combine to continue the battle into the money stages of the Main Event.

The chip counts of all remaining players and the seat draw for Day 2 will be posted as soon as PokerNews receives them from the organization. The live reporting team will be on the floor from the first ante that needs to be paid until the final chip has been bagged for Day 3 so make sure to follow all the updates right here!
