Big Bal Squeeze

Level 28 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Wilson Chan opened to 400,00 from the button and Yousef Salameh made the call from the small blind.

The action was then on Jagdeep Bal in the big blind who then three-bet to 2,000,000. Chan thought about it for a few seconds before he tossed it in and Salemeh quickly followed suit to award the pot to Bal.

Timothy Niles

Short-stacked Timothy Niles moved all in preflop and was called by Charlen Aseberos in the big blind to put him at risk.

Timothy Niles: Q9
Charlen Aseberos: A9

"Well, look at that, he has an ace in the big blind!" Niles sighed, visibly frustrated.

The board ran out J265K for Aseberos to take the pot with his ace high and Niles was eliminated in 11th place.

Borui Zhang
Borui Zhang

After a big pot by doubling up Miralem Mujkic, Borui Zhang moved all in with his last 1,000,000 and was called by none other than Mukjic to put him at risk.

Borui Zhang: AQ
Miralem Mujkic: KK

"Oh no, this is it!" he shouted as he realized what he was up against.

Zhang needed some help to stay alive, but the flop of 46K quickly dashed those hopes as Mujkic made top set of kings. The runout of 9J sealed Zhang's fate and he was eliminated in 10th place.
