Chen Bests Yu

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

James Chen raised from the button and picked up a single caller with Ryan Yu in the big blind. Both checked a flop of {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Yu then bet the {A-Hearts} turn for 17,000, which Chen called. After the {6-Spades} river, Yu bet again for 40,000 and Chen called. Yu turned over the {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Chen claimed the pot with {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for Aces and eights.

Chop It Up With a Sweat

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Yang Wang raised to 19,000 and Shuo Li pushed his big chips forward and then said "oh, I meant to move all in," but the chip movement counted, as such it was a raise to 80,000 instead with some 30,000 behind. Sergey Lebedev called on the button and Wang folded.

On the {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, Li moved all in and Lebedev called.

Shuo Li: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Sergey Lebedev: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The {K-Diamonds} turn gave both players a sweat, as Lebedev had the higher flush draw. However, the {A-Clubs} river secured the split pot.

A few minutes later, Li three-bet shoved and got through with it, as Xiaoyang Luo folded.

Smith Becomes a Chip Millionaire After Busting Tsang

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Yan Shing Tsang
Yan Shing Tsang

Yan Shing Tsang raised to 14,000 from the button and Dan Smith, easily covering his opponent, called in the small blind in the last hand of the level.

The flop of {J-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} saw a check-call by Smith, who then check-raised the {9-Spades} turn. Tsang got his stack in only to discover the bad news.

Yan Shing Tsang: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Dan Smith: {A-Spades}{2-Spades}

The case ace and the two remaining fours could save the player from Hong Kong, but a blank {10-Spades} river sent him to the rail in 20th place for HK$210,000.

Ramos Hits the Rail

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Felipe Ramos
Felipe Ramos

With the departure of Felipe Ramos there are now no PokerStars Team Pros left in the field with Sergey Lebedev sending the Brazilian to the rail.

Ramos was the aggressor in the hand, opening to 14,000 from middle position before Lebedev re-raised to 40,000 in total from the hi-jack. The rest of the table quickly got out of the way and Ramos moved all-in for what looked to be around 350,000 with Lebedev calling instantly without even asking for a count.

The cards were turned over and Ramos, holding {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, found himself racing for his tournament life against Lebedev’s {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

Unfortunately for Ramos the flop came down {8-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{3-Spades} to see Lebedev pair his ace to take a lead he would not relinquish when the {7-Spades} turn and {5-Diamonds} ran out to complete the hand, with the Russian stacking up to 777,000 when the dust settled.

Tang Busts to Wang

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Danny Tang
Danny Tang

Danny Tang raised from early position and Yang Wang defended the big blind. On a flop of {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Wang checked and called a small continuation bet by Tang before the {2-Hearts} turn went check, check. With around 70,000 in the middle, Wang slid forward a big tower of T-5,000 chips on the {4-Spades} river and Tang had around 100,000 behind.

After short consideration, Tang called and then sighed when Wang rolled over the {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a full house. Tang only had {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for the over pair and was eliminated in 22nd place for HK$192,000.

Loeser Sends Kiat to the Rail

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Lee Wai Kiat shoved for the second time in a row and the all in was for 69,000. Manig Loeser called and the rest of the table folded.

Lee Wai Kiat : {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Manig Loeser: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

The flop fell {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Loeser hit bottom set, but any jack would give Kiat a straight. However, both the {8-Clubs} turn and the {Q-Diamonds} river were blanks and Kiat fell in 23rd place for HK$192,000.
