Pang Eliminated by Zhao

Christian Zetzsche

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

Xuanzhi Zhao had previously gotten a shove through with a very short stack and Supeng Pang then jammed even fewer chips into his big blind for Zhao to call.

Supeng Pang: A♣9♠ All in
Xuanzhi Zhao: 7♠4♠

The Q♠Q♥J♦6♠4♣ board paired up Zhao on the river and the last 19,000 of Pang vanished to the other side of the table.

Xuanzhi Zhao	50,000 15,000	15,000

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

Zida Chen raised to 12,000 and then saw Yunkyu Song and Weichen Wang move all-in behind, both putting up their jackets once more.

"What the fuck is happening?" Chen grimaced and then folded when he was covered by Song's three-bet shove to expose ace-jack.

"That is bad for me," Song said as he flashed the A♠4♠. Wang was way out in front with the K♦K♠ and the Q♦8♣7♦7♣7♠ board kept things that way for Wang to get his revenge on Song for the second time in quick succession.

Player	Chips	Progress
Weichen Wang	170,000 97,000	97,000
Zida Chen	110,000 20,000	20,000
Yunkyu Song	66,000 56,000	56,000

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

Stephen Song was all-in with the A♣10♥ and up against Qun Dang, who held the inferior Q♦10♦. The Q♠8♥6♠K♥9♥ runout improved Dang and the stacks were counted. Dang's 62,000 covered by a small margin.

And their table broke soon after when Kaihua Liu shoved his short stack with Q♠9♦ into Dang's A♣6♦. The 10♠8♣2♣K♣7♦ board kept ace-high in the lead to bring the Day 1a field down to the last two tables.

Player	Chips	Progress
Qun Dang	140,000 70,000	70,000
Stephen Song	Busted

Kaihua Liu	Busted

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

Rui Sun was all-in after the 9♣4♣2♦7♦ turn and Kaihua Liu called with the covering stack in the next seat. It was a very close race with Liu in a marginal lead holding the K♦9♦ for top pair. Sun, however, had many outs holding the 8♣6♣ for the open-ended straight draw.

One of the outs came with the 10♣ river which completed the straight and the flush.

Player	Chips	Progress
Rui Sun	150,000 65,000	65,000
Kaihua Liu	35,000 60,000	60,000

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

Just before the blinds moved up, Yuan Xu and Xuanzhi Zhao headed to the 9♣7♠2♣ flop. Zhao led for 7,000 from the small blind and Xu with the bigger stack raised small to 15,000 and Zhao reluctantly folded.

Another Zhao, Jiaqi Zhao, has chipped up on the same table and nearly has the same stack as Xu now.

Player	Chips	Progress
Yuan Xu	140,000 15,000	15,000
Jiaqi Zhao	135,000 80,000	80,000

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Yunkyu Song and Weichen Wang got their chips into the middle in back-to-back hands with both vaulting out of their chair and putting the jacket on.

Song's first all-in was for 74,000 and he was at risk in a flip with 6♣6♥ versus A♦J♦ out of the big blind. The Q♣Q♥3♠5♣6♦ board gave him sixes full for the double.
