Agdas Eliminated

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante
Ayhan Agdas
Ayhan Agdas

The cards were all but pulled into the muck already and Ahyan Agdas left the table with a dry smile when his reshove with ace-six was called by Changjo Im with pocket threes. The board was still there, showing {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{A-Clubs}, and the three on the flop spelled the end for the German, who quickly told Andre Peters about his fate before heading out of the tournament area.

Sam Nee sits just above starting stack, while Celine Lee has more than that, and Yo Seb Rhee is back in action on bullet number two.

Duong Busts Rivera

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Joining the action on the {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} turn, with plenty of chips already in the middle, Czardy Rivera checked in the small blind and faced the all in of Thanh Ha Duong. Rivera eventually called it off for his last 17,425 and showed {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for two pair, while Duong had plenty of outs with {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

The {3-Clubs} on the river improved Duong to a straight and he jumped up in celebration just before the end of the level.

Brunner Flexes Big Stack, Paulsen Takes a Hit

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

We caught current frontrunner Michael Brunner in action but it was not a particularly exciting one. Action folded around to Brunner on the button and he made it 2,000 to go with the big blind making the call.

The big blind checked the {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs} over to Brunner, who fired for 5,500 and his opponent folded instantly and Brunner stacked up to 120,000.

We arrived at Kai Paulsen’s table just in time to see him re-raise an opponent to 5,000 from the big blind only to see his adversary move all-in for 16,900 in total.

Paulsen made the call with {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} but was trailing to his opponent’s {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} and stayed that way when the board ran out {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} to drop down to a measly 8,250 while his opponent stacked up to 34,000.

Chhabria Rivers Alvarez

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

We caught the tail end of sizable pot between Shravan Chhabria and Janno Alvarez with close to 15,000 in the pot with the community cards spread {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Spades}.

Alvarez, sitting in the big blind, checked the action over to Chhabria who fired for 9,500 to send the Filipino player into the tank.

Eventually, Alvarez made the call and looked unhappy to see Chhabria turn over {5-Spades}{7-Spades} for the flush. Alvarez mucked and dropped down to 10,900 while Chhabria climbed to 86,200.

Setback for Edoc

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

After getting a full double up in the first hand he played, Lester Edoc got dealt yet another premium hand only to see his table neighbor turn over the one pocket pair that beat him. Edoc flipped over {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and faced {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} with the board running out {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

Peter Plater bumped his stack back above starting, but recently lost some of them again while Andre Peters recovered from the crazy three-way all in and doubled the chips since.

Tran Busts Iyer, Chong Folds Out Patni and Yoo

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

A short-stacked Abhinav Iyer moved all-in for his last 3,425 in chips from middle position and Linh Tran made the call from the blinds.

Abhinav Iyer: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Linh Tran: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Iyer headed for the rail while Tran stacked up to 63,500.

Kunal Patni has re-entered and opened the action with a raise to 1,000, finding a caller on the button in the form of Gyeong Tae Yoo before big blind Victor Chong squeezed to 5,000.

Patni thought for a few seconds and folded, Yoo looked interested, however, he eventually decided against it.

“I have king-jack suited” he told Chong, “Is it good?”

“No,” replied Chong.

“Ok then, thanks,” fired back Yoo and slid his cards into the muck leaving Chong to scoop the small pot.
