Lew Bets and Wins

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Randy Lew raised to 3,600 from the hijack and both blinds called.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} and action checked to Lew. He bet 4,500 and the small blind folded fairly quickly. After a bit of thought, the big blind did the same, and Lew took the pot to put his stack over the 100,000-chip mark.

Janik Loses Some

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

With a substantial pot of about 35,000 already brewing on a completed board of {6-}{4-}{3-}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, Scott Janik was in the hijack and facing a decision for 15,000 chips from an opponent in middle position. After some consideration, Janik called and his opponent tabled {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a rivered pair of tens, which was good enough to win the pot.

Igor Kan Doubles Through Takumi Samejima

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Takumi Samejima raised to 3,300 from middle position and Igor Kan shoved for 19,600 from the small blind, sending Samejima into the tank. He ultimately called and the two players tabled their hands.

Samejima: {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Kan: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Kan had the preflop advantage with his nines and stayed ahead on the {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop. The {8-Clubs} on the turn gave Samejima flush and open-ended straight draws, but neither came in on the {8-Spades} river and Kan took the pot to double up.

Takeharu Asakage, Yang Zhang, and Randy Lew got all the chips in the middle before the flop. Lew had the largest of the three stacks, Zhang had 80,500, and Asakage was the shortest by a wide margin.

Asakage: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Zhang: {J-}{J-}
Lew: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

Zhang had the preflop advantage with his jacks but had to fade Lew's overcards and Asakage was in bad shape. The board ran out {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Zhang took the pot to eliminate Asakage, take most of Lew's chips, and become the biggest stack in the room.

Seng Yee Leow Gets a Lucky River to Double Up

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

With about 60,000 chips already in the middle on a board of {J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, Seng Yee Leow got all of his 49,600-chip stack in against a player who had him covered.

Leow: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Leow was in awful shape against his opponent's flopped set of sevens and needed an eight on the river to make a jack-high straight in order to preserve his tournament life. The dealer swept out the card he wanted to see, the {8-Diamonds}, and Leow took the pot to double up.

Otsuka Wins a Race

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Takuro Otsuka opened under the gun and seemed pained when the big blind shoved over him for 21,200 more. Otsuka did eventually make the call, though.

Otsuka: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Big blind: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, keeping the sixes best.
