Shoves But No Customers
Level 20
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Play is underway again in the Triton Super High Roller Main Event and there have been two all-ins, but neither of the shoves were called.
Richard Yong was the first man to pull the trigger on the first orbit back, moving all in for 1.2 million from the big blind over the top of a Manig Loeser cutoff raise with the German player folding immediately.
Peter Chan moved all-in for 1.4 million from middle position on the second orbit and took down the blinds and antes when the rest of the table folded.

Yong Getting Active, Paschalidis Getting Short
Level 20
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Richard Yong has been getting frisky and has run his stack up to around 1.75 million, stealing some blinds and antes from Peter Chan and John Juanda. Yong moved all-in for 1.4 million and Juanda open-folded 
.
Yong flashed him 
saying “You can call” and Juanda jokingly asked if he could have his cards back.
Peter Chan raised the button the next hand, making it 170,000 to go and Yong made the call from the big blind. That was it for the betting in the hand though with both players checking the 
board all the way through to the river.
Yong turned over 
and Chan mucked leaving Yong to pad out his stack a little more.
The next flop was two hands later with Chan Wai Leong limping the small blind and Antonios Paschalidis checking his option in the big blind.
The action on the 
flop went check, check and Leong min-bet the turn and while Paschalidis looked a little tempted he eventually gave it up.
The Greek player is getting pretty short and is down to his last 500,000 so will have to make a move soon though.

Antonios Paschalidis Eliminated in 7th (HK$1,957,000)
Level 20
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Antonius Paschalidis moved all-in and stole the blinds and antes to survive one more orbit but the writing was on the wall and it was getting to boom or bust time.
Unfortunately for the Greek player it was bust and the next orbit John Juanda raised to 180,000 from middle position and down to his last 550,000 Paschalidis moved all-in from the small blind.
Steffen Sontheimer peeked down at his cards in the big blind and re-shoved for 1.5 million and Juanda quickly folded.
Antonios Paschalidis: 
Steffen Sontheimer: 
Paschalidis got to his feet as his fate was decided by the poker gods with the flop falling 
to give the Greek player a pair of nines and an additional two outs. However, the 
turn was not one of them and while there was some paint on the river it was the 
and Paschalidis hit the rail in 7th taking home $250,554.

Steffen Sontheimer Eliminated in 6th Place (HK$2,446,000)
Level 21
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
While Steffen Sontheimer may have scalped the last player, the Germans fortune has waned over the last 20 minutes and he lost all of his newly won chips to fellow countryman Manig Loeser after the two battled it out in the blinds and Loeser made four to a flush with 
when the board ran out 
.
Sontheimer had been playing bottom pair aggressively but Loeser got there on the river to whittle Songheimer down to 1-million in chips.
Richard Yong then opened the action with a raise to 210,000 from early position and Sontheimer peeked down at his cards and decided to take a stand, moving all-in for just under 1-million. Yong called immediately and the cards were turned over.
Steffen Sontheimer: 
Richard Yong: 
Sontheimer was not in good shape and stayed behind the whole way when the board ran out 
to hit the rail in sixth place, taking home the equivalent of $313,168.

Leong Chipping Up, Loeser and Yong Tangle
Level 21
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
It appears that Malaysia’s Chan Wai Leong has been a busy bunny and has managed to run his stack up to over the 3-million mark to catch up with Richard Yong and Manig Loeser. Peter Chan is the current short stack and John Juanda is sitting there patiently in the middle of the pack.
However, the German player has not long extended his lead after tangling in a pot with Richard Yong. Loeser was the pre-flop aggressor, making it 210,000 to go from the cutoff and Yong decided to defend his big blind.
The flop fell with Yong check-calling Loeser’s 125,000 continuation bet and the hit the turn. This brought checks from both players with Yong choosing to take a stab on the 
river, leading out for a pot sized 400,000.
Loeser stared him down and slid in the call and Yong folded immediately leaving the German to scoop the pot and edge even more ahead of the rest of the field.

Loeser Sets Up Yong
Level 21
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Manig Loeser and Richard Yong have tangled in another pot with the German having the best of it once again and taking a big bite out of Yong’s stack.
The action was reminiscent of the earlier hand the two played, with Loeser making it 210,000 to go from the cutoff and Yong defending his big blind once again.
The flop saw Yong quickly check it over to Loeser, who looked like he picked something up and he checked it right back. The 
turn saw Yong lead for 125,000 and Loeser mulled over the decision but chose to make the call and the dealer peeled off the river.
Yong now checked and Loeser reached for a tower of turquoise 25k chips, sliding out a bet of 500,000 and Yong called instantly, but looked extremely unhappy when Loeser tabled for a rivered set.
Yong flashed the German before throwing his hand into the muck. Peter Chan moved all in shortly afterward to steal the blinds and antes and climb up to 1.2 million and the rest of the field remains pretty static at present.
