RazorSharpPro

Level 22 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

The action is coming to the boil now and a huge hand played out between the final table’s two remaining Malaysian players Richard Yong and Chan Wai Leong that saw the latter’s tournament come to a close in a rather brutal fashion.

It was Leong who was the initial aggressor, making it 250,000 to go from under-the-gun and Yong made the call from the big blind to take both players to the flop.

Yong check-called Leong’s 250,000 c-bet and the hit the turn, bringing another check from Yong and a second barrel from Leong, this one a slightly larger 450,000.

Yong quickly announced he was all-in and Leong rocked back in his chair looking puzzled. However, he decided to make the call for his tournament life and the cards were turned over.

Chan Wai Leong:
Richard Yong:

While Leong held the lead with two pair Yong had a straight draw which hit when the landed on the river to bring Loeng’s deep run in the Main Event to an end and he departed with $407,101 while Yong stacked up t0 3.7 million.

The casualties are coming thick and fast now and less than a minute after Chan Wai Leong hit the rail there was another all-in confrontation with John Juanda and Richard Yong getting all the chips in pre-flop.

Juanda was the man to pull the trigger first, moving all-in from the button for 1.7 million and Yong made an extremely quick call and the cards were turned over.

John Juanda:
Richard Yong:

Juanda was racing for his tournament life but fell behind as soon as the dealer spread the flop.

The turn was close to a five, but not close enough and the river completed the hand, and Juanda’s tournament and the Indonesian player hit the rail in fourth place for a $595,037 payday.

Level 22 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Richard Yong has been applying the pressure and has padded out his stack some more and Peter Chan and Manic Loeser are eating each other at the moment.

Chan opened the action with a raise to 250,000 from the button and Loeser made the call from the big blind and the dealer spread a monochrome flop.

This was checked by both players, as was the turn and the river. Loeser re-checked his cards and led out for a bet of 330,000 and Chan did not take too long to make the call.

Loeser showed down for a flush, but Chan had him just out-pipped with and scooped the pot to climb to 4.4 million and Loeser is now the shortest stack with 2.45 million.
