Zhang Wins Skirmish Against Wang

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kong Wang opened to 16,000 from middle position, which led to Haixia Zhang defending her big blind to send them to a flop.

The 10510 flop prompted a check from Zhang before Wang continued for 8,000. Zhang was not ready to release her hand and made the call.

Both players checked the 3 turn, which brought about the 4 river. Zhang chose to lead out for 23,000 on the river. Wang gave it a brief pause before he folded to award the pot to Zhang.

Sit Back Down Sir

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Rudy Robledo raised to 17,000 from the hijack to open the action. Stephen Hesse responded with a re-raise to 75,000 from the small blind. Robledo used a time bank before he ultimately decided to jam for 163,000 total. Hesse made the call to put Robledo at risk.

Rudy Robledo: 99All in
Stephen Hesse: KQ

Robledo had the lead, but the flop changed that in a hurry as it came down AQ3 to give Hesse a pair of queens and the lead.

The 6 turn peeled off and Robledo began to stand up and threw his final time banks towards the middle in resignation, but the river was just the card Robledo needed as he spiked the 9 to hit a set and stay alive in the tournamnet.

"Sit back down, sir," said Michael Loncar in jest from the next seat over as Robledo retook his seat and dragged in the chips.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Andrew Moreno
Andrew Moreno

The chips went in between Andrew Moreno and Tyler Patterson preflop. Patterson raised before Moreno jammed from the cutoff for 108,000 and was called by Patterson in the hijack to put Moreno at risk.

Andrew Moreno: QJAll in
Tyler Patterson: KK

Patterson had Moreno in trouble, but the flop put Moreno ahead when it came 4JQ to give Moreno two pair.

The scale tilted in favor of Patterson when the 4 came to give Patterson a better two pair. Just as Moreno stood up to pack his belongings, the J came on the river to award Moreno the double.

Wang Secures Double Versus Egbert

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kong Wang began the action with a raise to 12,000 from early position, which led to a call from Mark Egbert in the next seat over. Robert Grossglauser responded with a re-raise to 43,000. Wang gave it some thought before he shipped it for 165,000. Egbert called, but Grossglauser folded to put Wang at risk.

Kong Wang: 1010All in
Mark Egbert: AK

It was a duel between the pocket pair versus the overcards, with Wang holding the slight edge in the hand. The flop came 976 to keep Wang ahead. The 10 ended any hope for Egbert to win the pot, but it did present some chop-outs.

The 9 river upgraded Wang to a full house to end the hand in his favor.

Miller Sends Rabinowitz to the Cage

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Darren Rabinowitz
Darren Rabinowitz

The blinds had a feud as a series of raises led to both Darren Rabinowitz in the small blind and Shane Miller in the big blind putting the money in with Rabinowitz at risk for his tournament.

Darren Rabinowitz: JJAll in
Shane Miller: AA

Rabinowitz was in dire straits as he ran into the aces of Miller in a cooler between the blinds.

The 5Q2 flop brought the wrong picture card. The turn and river had no surprises in store for either player as the 5 and the 4 peeled off to complete the board to oust Rabinowitz.

Larry Thomas: 77All in
Mahmoudreza Heshmati: QQ
