Yong Dusts a Bullet

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

Richard Yong peeled {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} on the button and he puts his 96,000 in play, facing off against Andrew Robl with {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Robl was awarded a safe runout of {Q-Clubs}{A-Spades}{10-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and improved to 378,000 while Yong fired a new bullet.

Lamb Gets a Full Double From Patgorski

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante
Ben Lamb
Ben Lamb

With the action picked up on the {Q-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} in a four-way limped pot, Jason Koon checked to Ben Lamb who fired 17,000. Devan Tang folded but Gabe Patgorski raised to 48,000 in position. Koon folded and Lamb used a time extension before making the call.

The river was the {9-Spades} and Lamb checked to his opponent. Patgorski slid in a tower of 25,000-denomination chips to cover Lamb's remaining 133,000 and Lamb quickly called. He showed {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a rivered straight and Patgorski mucked his hand.

Tan Felts Yong

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

Xuan Tan limped {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} under the gun and Richard Yong jammed from the next seat, making it 76,000 with {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Xuan looked him up.

The {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} board gave Tan full house and Yong was eliminated. He rejoined the action after a pitstop at the registration desk.

Sass Peels Kings and Stacks Leow

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante
Alan Sass
Alan Sass

Ivan Leow was all in for 320,000 in the cutoff, holding {J-Clubs}{10-Spades} but ran into the {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} of Alan Sass who picked up the high pair on the button. Sass had Leow covered and put him at risk.

The {Q-Spades}{A-Spades}{A-Hearts} flop was great for Sass as Leow needed running cards to catch up. He was offered the {8-Clubs} on the turn to sweat a nine-ball but the {Q-Diamonds} locked it for Sass who increased his stack to 906,000. Leow fired a new bullet.

Katz Enjoys a Sweat With Aces

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

Cary Katz ended up all in preflop for 165,000, holding {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}. He was a big favorite against the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} of Devan Tang but it's hardly over in the Triton Hold'em.

The flop came down {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Tang's chances grew rapidly when the {J-Hearts} hit the turn.

"Oh f***, Cary. It's never easy!" Jason Koon commentated.

But the {Q-Spades} river missed Tang's outs and Katz doubled up. "Made it!" Koon said.

"Good sweat," Katz said in a calm voice while waiting for the dealer to ship him the chips from Tang.

Ivey's Ace-King Holds

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

Phil Ivey was in the cutoff, peeling {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and he moved all in for 86,000. Paul Phua accepted his bid from the hijack and while he trailed, his {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} was very much live.

The {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} flop was good for Ivey but Phua could still catch some good cards on the turn. But he got the worst instead as the {A-Hearts} sealed it for Ivey. The {J-Hearts} river was irrelevant and Ivey stacked his newly earned chips.

Ivey and Wai Kin Split

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

Paul Phua limped under the gun, Phil Ivey overlimped and Wai Kin Yong checked on the button.

Ivey fired 15,000 on the {7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{K-Hearts} flop and Yong jammed. Phua folded within a second and Ivey put his chips into the middle just as fast.

Ivey: {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Yong: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

"Freeroll!" Yong said, hoping to catch running clubs. But his freeroll was over when the {8-Hearts} turn came out and they chopped the pot.

Tan Takes a Stack From Yu

Level 5 : 0/0, 3,000 ante

Xuan Tan opened to 21,000 under the gun and Winfred Yu was in the hijack with {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. He moved all in for 137,000 and action folded back to Tan who decided to call with {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and that gave Tan two pair while Yu just held ace-high. That meant that Yu would be forced to use one of his reload bullets while Tan moved to 424,000 in chips.

Katz Tank-Folds to Koon's Shove

Level 5 : 0/0, 3,000 ante

Four-way to the {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades}, Jason Koon checked in the first position and Gabe Patgorski fired 30,000. Cary Katz raised to 62,000 in the cutoff, prompting a fold from Romain Arnaud on the button. Koon, however, cold-called and Patgorski also matched the price.

The dealer turned up the {6-Diamonds} river and Koon front-shoved 110,000. Patgorski quickly folded but Katz paused for a while. He used two timebanks before finally tossing his cards into the muck, leaving the pot to Koon.
