Lebedev Takes from Luo

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Xian Luo raised to 2,200 in the hijack and Sergey Lebedev three-bet to 6,500 on the button, which Luo called. On the {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop, Xuo checked and Lebedev bet 5,000 before facing a check-raise to 13,000. Lebedev didn't go anywhere and called before the {3-Spades} then appeared on the turn.

Luo checked again and Lebedev bet 12,000. This was enough to break the resistance of his opponent, as Luo opted to let go and sent his cards into the muck.

Tedeschi Busts Cheung

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A short-stacked Park Yu ‘Sparrow’ Cheung moved all-in for his last 12,200 and France’s Paul-Francois Tedeschi looked him up.

Park Yu Cheung: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Paul-Francois Tedeschi: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Despite having the dominating hand the {7-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Spades} flop was not a great one for Yu as despite giving him top pair, it also gave Tedeschi the flush draw and while the {6-Diamonds} turn was a nice, safe card, the {4-Spades} river completed Tedeschi’s flush and sent Yu to the rail.

Troyanovskiy Sends Neilson to the Rail

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Daniel Neilson
Daniel Neilson

The beard of the tournament is no longer featured, as Daniel Neilson has just been eliminated for the second time. Neilson three-bet an open raise by Vladimir Troyanovskiy and the Russian called in the cutoff to see a flop of {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Neilson led for 7,800 from the small blind and Troyanovskiy called before the {6-Spades} then showed up on the turn.

Neilson fired a second barrel for 18,000 and then let the clock run down to five seconds when the {K-Spades} river completed the board. Neilson moved all in for around 45,000 and Troyanovskiy quickly tossed in a chip for the call. Neilson only had {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for a pair of kings, while Troyanovskiy tabled the {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for rivered two pair.

Shorties Double

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

HK$100,000 is not an insignificant amount of money, even if you are a high roller and some of the fields remaining short-stacks are holding on for dear life.

Two short-stacks who have just managed to earn themselves a double up are Roman Korenev and Dong Kim.

Korenev had already shipped the over the top of a Troy Quenneville button raise and found a fold so tried it again a few hands later, though Quenneville called the second time around, his {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} leading Korenev’s {j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} until the board ran out {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} to give Korenev the hand. The Russian climbed to 58,000 after that spot of good fortune, while Quenneville still has plenty with a stack of 194,000.

The second shortie to double was Dong Kim, who got the last of his 8,900 chips in from early position with Bertrand Grospellier choosing to look him up.

Kim’s {7-Spades}{6-Spades} looked pretty but was trailing to Grospellier’s {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and stayed that way on the {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop. Just as Kim was standing up to leave the {5-Spades} turn gave him a faint glimmer of hope and his miracle comeback was complete when the {8-Hearts} hit the river to see Kim scoop the pot.

Kim climbed to 19,200 after that timely catch while nothing is going right for Grospellier today – the Frenchman busted his first bullet just before the dinner break and cannot seem to gain any traction and he slipped down to 32,800.

Graham's Hero Call Rewarded

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Andrew Graham defended his big blind against a raise by Weizhou Zha on the button and check-called a bet on the {Q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop. On the {4-Diamonds} turn there was no action and the {5-Hearts} river saw Graham check.

Zha simply bet 60,000 into a pot of just 20,000 and Graham used his final time bank chip before eventually calling. Zha only had {10-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a bluff, while Graham's {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} secured a double for the last 32,900.
