Level 5 : 0/0, 3,000 ante

Three players put their stacks into the middle preflop with Peter Jetten having covered both Cheong Cheok Ieng and Brian Potashnik.

Potashnik: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Cheong: {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Jetten: {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The board rolled out {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and Cheong scooped the pot, eliminating Potashnik. Jetten suffered a deep wound and continued with only 27,000.

Ivey Enters the Field; Cao Doubles through Yong

Level 4 : 0/0, 2,000 ante

Phil Ivey recently entered the tournament and joined the table. On his first hand he limped in under the gun before Rui Cao moved all in for 96,000 in the second seat to act. Action folded around to Wai Kin Yong and he moved all in over the top with a covering stack. Ivey folded so it was heads up to a show down.

Rui Cao: {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Wai Kin Yong: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Spades} and Cao made a full house to earn a full double while Yong was cut down to just over 600,000 chips.

Leow Forces Out Cheong

Level 5 : 0/0, 3,000 ante

Three-way to the {8-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades} flop, Cheong Cheok Ieng checked with {Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and so did Peter Jetten in the cutoff, holding just a gutter with nine-seven. Ivan Leow had {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} on the button and fired 15,000. He couldn't get rid of Cheong who called to see the {J-Clubs} turn, which was one of the worse cards for him. Leow blasted another 40,000 and Cheong wasn't able to continue. He released his hand and Leow's bluff got through.

Leow Hits a Flush

Level 5 : 0/0, 3,000 ante

Ivan Leow raised with {7-Spades}{6-Spades} before Brian Potashnik shoved for 58,000 in the cutoff, peeling {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Nick Schulman woke up with {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} on the button and cold four-bet to cover Leow's 101,000 and Leow called off. Leow made a flush on the {Q-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{J-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs} board and raked in the pot. Schulman was left with 238,000 and Potashnik fired a new bullet.

Potashnik Folds Top Two

Level 4 : 0/0, 2,000 ante

Cheong Cheok Ieng limped in with {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, Peter Jetten overlimed in the hijack with {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Ivan Leow made it 15,000 in the cutoff, holding {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Button Brian Potashnik also peeled suited connectors and called with {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and both Cheong and Jetten also continued to the flop.

The dealer spread out {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Leow shoved his last 61,000. Potashnik flopped top two pair but he decided to lay his hand down, allowing Leow to claim the pot as Cheong and Jetten weren't impressed by the flop.

Wai Yong Scoops Three-Way All-in

Level 4 : 0/0, 2,000 ante
Wai Kin Yong
Wai Kin Yong

The outer table saw three players place their stack towards the middle preflop with Yeu Wei Hsiang holding {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. His neighbor Siow Choon Tong turned up {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Wai Kin Yong joined the party with {10-Spades}{9-Spades}.

The flop rolled out {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Yong asked for an eight. He got a {10-Clubs} instead and gained the lead. Yong sweated the river, hoping to see a brick and the {K-Hearts} was a great card for him as he remained the winner, claiming the whole pot, having both of his rivals covered. Yeu and Siow both fired new bullets.

Schulman Folds to Jetten

Level 4 : 0/0, 2,000 ante

In a four-way limped pot, Nick Schulman was on the button with {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, looking at a promising flop of {J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Peter Jetten bet 10,000 with {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Schulman was the only player who called.

They continued to the {K-Diamonds} turn which gave Jetten top two. He barrelled for 25,000 and Schulman decided to escape, leaving himself with just 58,000 in chips.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and now Badziakouski checked again. Cheong put out another bet, this time making it 29,000. Badziakouski moved all in for 69,000. Cheong quickly folded and Mikita took down the pot with his pair of kings and jack-high flush draw.
