Level 10 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Huss Hassan
Huss Hassan

Having defended out of the blinds, Hussein Hassan check-shove the {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop and Michael Egan quickly called.

Hassan turned over {j-}{7-} for an open-ender and gutshot, while Egan revealed {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} for bottom set. Neither the {7-Hearts} turn nor the {q-Diamonds} river provided any help for Hassan and he was sent to the rail.

One-Round Penalty for Gray

Level 10 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Jason Gray
Jason Gray

Jason Gray has received a one-round penalty after voicing his opinion about how things went down during the breaking of the third table. He did this several times to the dealer according to him but the floor was not called over. In Gray's opinion, and of several other players, dealing should have been paused on both tables while the other players were being drawn onto it but this didn't happen which in his opinion affected him negatively as he was short.

When the floor came over, the situation was discussed again but Gray was visibly unhappy about things. In the end, the floor penalized Gray for one round which means that when Gray comes back to the table, he'll be left with 17,300.

Qiang Fu

On a heads-up flop of {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Qiang Fu in the big blind check-shoved into a bet of 3,000 by Vincent Huang on the button and Huang asked for a rough count before making the call for around 21,000 in total.

Qiang Fu: {q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Vincent Huang: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The {7-Clubs} turn and {6-Hearts} river run out failed to improve Fu and he was eliminated for a second time.
