A Bold End

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Joachim Bold pushed all in from the hijack seat for just under 100,000 chips and he nearly got through the table. Action stopped on Winfred Yu in the big blind and he asked for a count. He called and turned up a dominating hand.

Bold: {k-Spades}{7-Spades}
Yu: {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The board came {2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Bold was eliminated in 26th place.

Wild Preflop Action Taken Down by Guo

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

A small crowd gathered around a table featuring Dong Guo, Winfred Yu, and Joachim Bold.

Guo had opened to 36,000 getting a call from Xuan Tan. Yu then three-bet to 136,000 and action folded around to Bold. Bold also called and then Guo four-bet to 255,000. After a short time in the tank, Yu folded and Bold just flatted, leaving less than 100,000 behind.

Things got confusing for a moment as Guo then dropped a stack of green 25,000 chips in the pot. But Bold had not moved all-in. The dealer issued a {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop and Bold checked. Guo left his stack of greens in the middle and Bold tossed his cards to the muck. Much to the shock of the spectators.

Guo has added to his chip lead while Bold is now in the danger zone.

Hata Wins a Flip

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We got to the table as cards were flipped on their backs. Aymon Hata was all in and at risk with {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Dzmitry Rabotkin held {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

The flop of {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} had Rabotkin in the lead with his tens. He still led on the {5-Spades} turn. But the {7-Hearts} river gave Hata a straight and he collected the double-up, leaving Rabotkin short.

Jun Falls to Jin

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

With no action in front of him, Jun Zhou slid his 87,000 chip stack into the middle and was called by Wenlong Jin in the cutoff.

Zhou: {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Jin: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Zhou was in trouble, needing an ace or some type of miracle to keep his dream alive. Unfortunately, no assistance came with the {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board and the remaining players are one step closer to the title.
