Nitsche Flips Cates to the Rail

Adam Lamers

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Daniel Cates raised it up from the cutoff and Dominik Nitsche stuck in a three-bet on the button. The action was back on Cates who made a four-bet and the two players quickly had all of their chips in the middle with Cates being at risk for around 350,000.

Daniel Cates: A♣Q♦ All in
Dominik Nitsche: 10♠10♥

It turned out to be a coin flip and the flop of 8♥4♠4♦ favored Nitsche with the pocket pair. The 7♥ and 9♥ runout changed nothing and Cates left the tournament area.

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a flop of A♠J♥4♥, Supeng Pang eventually got his chips in against Mauricio Salazar Sanchez and had the slightly superior kicker with A♣10♠ versus A♦9♦. Neither the Q♦ turn nor the 8♣ river changed anything and Pang doubled to nearly even out the stack sizes of both players.

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Xiao Zhu spun up a stack early on in the day but recently took a couple of beats, leaving him on a short stack. Zhu ripped all in for his last 78,000 in early position and Harry flicked in a call from a couple of seats over.

Xiao Zhu: 6♣6♦ All in
Harry: A♥5♥

Despite only having one over card, Harry took the lead on the A♦10♣7♣ flop. The 9♠ on the turn gave Zhu a straight draw but the 7♦ paired the board on the river and Zhu was eliminated.

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Nevan Chang moved all in for 110,000 in early position, for the second time in just a few hands. This time, he found a caller in Ivan Zhang on the button while the rest of the table folded.

Nevan Chang: 8♠8♣ All in
Ivan Zhang: J♠J♥

Zhang held the better of the two pocket pairs and the Q♦7♣4♠6♥K♣ proved to be save as Chang was sent to the rail for what appears to be the final time this evening.

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Some late re-entries have boosted the field to 115 entries and some 65 players currently remain at the start of the final level for tonight. Christopher Park was among the latest players to bust, re-enter and get assigned the same seat randomly.

On his former stream table, Yuzhu Wang saw his stack vanish with ace-deuce against the 9♥9♦ of Marius Gierse on a board of 6♥4♠3♠10♠6♦ and he quickly exited the stage.

Jiawei Huang raised it up to 12,000 from an early position and Sean Ooi three-bet to 41,000 in the big blind. Huang then clicked it up to 113,000 after using nearly the entire 30-second shot clock and Ooi glanced at his stack behind before coming along.

The 10♥6♠4♥ flop was checked by both players and Ooi also checked the 7♦ turn, Huang bet 75,000 and won the pot to pull ahead of his opponent.

Yilu Yuan raised on the button and then called the three-bet shove by Huawei Lin in the big blind for only 48,000.

Huawei Lin: A♦K♥ All in
Yilu Yuan: A♠10♣

The kicker played on the J♣7♠7♣2♥6♥ runout for Lin to double, but she remained well below the starting stack.

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jumiao She clapped repeatedly when her table neighbour Liang Chen scored a full double through Yinan Zhou. The cards of Zhou were already in the muck as he could not beat Q♣Q♦ for queens full on a board of Q♠10♥2♥3♠2♣ and that put a major dagger into the stack of Zhou.

Player	Chips	Progress
Liang Chen	620,000 355,000	355,000
Yinan Zhou	190,000 425,000	425,000

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The chips only went in after the river of a 5♠4♦3♠2♠6♠ board and Gavin's all-in was impossible not to be looked up by Ami Barer, as the latter had the No-Limit Hold'em steel wheel with A♠4♠ for the straight flush. Gavin only had J♠10♥ for a flush to the jack and will be back soon after with another re-entry.
