The pots on the live stream feature are significantly smaller than the outer table and the three chip leaders can all be found on the outer table. Marius Gierse currently leads the way while Dominik Nitsche is the short stack.
So far, no one has been able to stop Stephen Song, who now sits with over three times a starting stack.
In a recent hand, Dong Chen opened to 5,500 from early position and was three-bet to 22,500 by Stephen Song, who was in the big blind. Chen called.
Chen called 13,000 bet from Song on the J♦J♣2♦ flop and then both players checked on the 3♦ turn.
The Q♠ filled the river and Song thought a bit before sliding a stack of t-25,000 chips into the middle, which was enough to put Chen all in for his last 165,000.
Chen went deep into the tank, but eventually decided to look Song up.
Song turned over 7♦6♦ for a flush and Chen showed he held A♣Q♣ before surrendering his stack over to Song, who now sits with 660,000 for a healthy chip lead.
Taylor Black opened to 3,500 from the cutoff holding Q♥Q♣ and Nevan Chang called in the big blind with K♥10♦.
Chang check-called a 6,000 bet from Black on the Q♠9♥K♦ flop, but check-folded his king facing a 25,000 bet from Black on the 9♠ turn.
When limped to by three players, Marius Gierse raised to 11,000 out of the big blind with the 10♦9♦ and was called only by Dominik Nitsche with the 5♠5♦ out of the hijack. The flop came A♦A♣8♠ and Gierse sized down to 6,000 for Nitsche to call, as they headed to the Q♣ on the turn.
Gierse now bet 18,000 and Nitsche instantly folded.
The action kicked off with a cutoff raise to 3,500 by Christopher Park and Quan Zhou then three-bet to 18,500 from the small blind. It folded back to Park and he glanced at the stack of Zhou before four-betting big to 128,500.
Zhou had fewer than that behind and splashed all time bank chips out in front. He only used one of them and folded.
Dong Chen opened to 3,500 from the cutoff and found one caller in Quan Zhou in the big blind for a heads-up pot.
Zhou check-called a 3,500 bet from Chen on the K♣5♣J♠ flop and then led out for 10,000 after the 5♥ paired the board on the turn.
Chen wanted nothing to do with it and let his hand go — conceding the pot to Zhou.
There are now two seven-handed tables in play and table three was moved to the live stream with Dominik Nitsche replacing Yisha Chen, who was moved to the outer table to balance the field after the elimination of Renji Mao.
All live stream hands will be shown on a delay of 30 minutes and the respective updates pulled back to current time once they have aired.
Level: 3
Blinds: 1,000/1,500
Ante: 1,500
The first 15-minute break of the day is underway with 14 players out of 17 entries remaining and after they return, one of the tables will be moved to the live stream table.
Lei Yu opened to 2,500 from early position and was three-bet to 11,000 by Renji Mao in the small blind. Yu called.
Yu called a 12,000 bet from Mao on the 5♣4♠8♥ flop and then bet 31,000 after being checked to on the 10♦ turn. Mao called.
Mao checked a final time on the 7♠ river and Yu burned up a time bank before announcing he was all in, which was enough to put Mao all in for 140,000.
Mao threw all his time banks into the middle, clearly pained over the decision, but he eventually stuck in a call.
Yu turned over J♠9♠ for a rivered straight and Mao showed he held J♣J♦ before exiting the tournament area.
