Toh Doubles Oh

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Korea’s Junghwan Oh opened the action from early position with a raise to 8,000 with Singapore’s Min Soon Lim (middle position) and Malaysia’s Kok Hou Toh (big blind) making the call to take the action three-way to a flop of {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Toh checked the action over to Oh, who led out for 16,000. Lim folded and the action was back on Toh, who threw out the call and it was heads-up to the {j-Diamonds} turn.

Now Toh chose to put Oh to the test, leading out for 50,000 – a bet that had Oh’s 33,000 stack covered and the Korean player had a decision to make. Eventually Oh slid the remainder of his chips in to the center of the table and the cards were turned over.

Kok Hou Toh: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Junghwan Oh: {5-Spades}{8-Spades}

While Toh had turned a straight draw Oh’s speculative suited gap connectors had hit the flop and given the Korean the lead in the hand, where he remained when the {2-Hearts} landed on the river to double Oh up to 120,000 while Toh dropped to 195,000.

Falcon a Chip Millionaire

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Michael Falcon is the first player up to a million while Tom Or-Paz on the same table has just over 100,000 and well below the average.

Kenneth Buck just took no risk when facing a three-bet to 25,000 and shoved for 190,000 in the small blind. Three-bettor Uday Bansal folded and was shown "king king" by Buck - {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. "I had jacks," the Indian replied and preserved a playable stack.

Park Cracks Soh's Kings

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

After his spectacular three-way all in and double knockout, Yan da Tyronne Soh has lost around half of his stack after peaking at around 400,000. Just now he would take another big hit when Sejin Park pushed for 87,000 from the button and Soh reshoved all in from the small blind.

Sejin Park: {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Yan da Tyronne Soh: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop was of no help and Park already stood up with a "good luck guys" on the {3-Clubs} turn. He turned away when he spotted the {k-Clubs} river before realizing that his six made a four-card flush, taking another chunk out of Soh's stack as a result.

Double For Buck

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Kenneth Buck and Yan da Tyronne Soh got all the chips in pre-flop just before the break and Buck found himself racing for his tournament life.

Kenneth Buck: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Yan da Tyronne Soh: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

While Soh spiked his ace on the {8-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop running diamonds on the {8-Diamonds} turn and {j-Diamonds} river gave Buck a flush and he doubled to 218,000, while Soh dropped to 202,000.
