Yu Wins More, Patni and Westmorland Chugging Along, Haxton Out

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

China’s Zigao Yu is currently sitting second in chips and has just padded out his stack a little further at the expense of Kazakhstan’s Shyngis Satubayev.

We caught the action on the turn with the community cards reading {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and it appears there has already been quite a bit of action as the pot is round 15,000.

Of course, this dies down the instant we arrive with both players seemingly content to check it down to the {k-Hearts} river. Sitting in the big blind Yu showed first, his {8-Spades}{9-Spades} seemingly enough to get it done and Satubayev tapped the table and pitched his cards into the muck leaving Yu to scoop the pot.

Kunal Patni looked to have a tough table draw, sitting with Jaeik Cho and Jordan Westmorland, both of whom currently share a house in Bali where they grind online tournaments.

This doesn’t seem to phase Patni though and he wins a small pot off Cho by coming over the top of his 2,300 cutoff open with a squeeze to 6,700 from the button.

Cho eyed up Patni’s remaining stack – which looked to be roughly 27,000 – and decided to let it go, leaving the Indian player to rake in the pot without showdown.

High stakes specialist Isaac Haxton will have a window in his busy schedule tomorrow for the HK$200,000 Single Re-Entry Shot Clock by the looks of things as we saw him headed for the rail and his Main Event run is now over.
