Yang Seizes Lead

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Woohyuk Yang
Woohyuk Yang

A huge hand played out just before the break that saw former frontrunner Mazyar Misaghian dust off his whole 200,000 stack to Korea’s Woohyuk Yang, who now holds a commanding lead.

According to Misaghian’s tablemate, Peter Plater, the Australian and Yang became involved in a hand right at the close of level nine that saw Yang flop top two pairs and Misaghian a straight draw.

Misaghian missed his draw and pulled the trigger as a bluff on the river and Yang made the call to win the massive pot and climb to 375,000 in chips and Misaghian bust, though he has re-entered and is sitting with a brand new 30,000 stack over on table nine.

Yang Bad Beats Gonzaga

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Just before the end of level nine, Thai Loc Le, Shengyu Li and Terry Gonzaga have been eliminated.

Gonzaga's exit was a cruel one after he got his stack in after a flop of {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Big stack Woohyuk Yang eventually called and flipped over {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} while Gonzaga was ahead with {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

The {5-Diamonds} on the turn immediately improved Yang and the {2-Spades} river was a blank to send Gonzaga to the rail in the penultimate hand before the break.

Obara's Shove Goes Through

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

After a raise from early position, four players including Jun Obara on the button, Jaehyun Lim in the small blind and big stack Boon Leong Tan in the big blind called. The flop fell {Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and the initial raiser bet 3,500. The cutoff called and Obara moved all in for what appeared to be 33,500. All opponents including Lim and Tan folded and Obara claimed the pot just before the end of the level.
