Triple Knockout Vaults Pang Into Massive Stack

Level 8 : 0/0, 6,000 ante
Hau Lim Chan
Hau Lim Chan

Shouting in Chinese came from table three and what emerged after was a mental four-way all in that involved Yufeng Pang, Wang Qiang and Jamie Staples on the button, Yufeng Pang was also in the hand for some 300,000 with the {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}.

Hau Lim Chan: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}
Wang Qiang: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Jaime Kaplan: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The board came {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{A-Hearts} and Pang scored a full house. He was all in for 1,065,000, which had Qiang covered by a few antes, and Kaplan also had to let go of a decent 900,000 stack, too.

Clock Stopped

Level 9 : 0/0, 8,000 ante

The clocks have been stopped with 55 minutes left in the second level and the registration desk had been busy to get a flurry of entries and re-entries in, while the feature table was set up as well one hour early.

Below are a few assorted stacks, the action should restart soon again.

Just before that happened, Rui Cao sent Yewul Wu and Ivan Leow to the rail. Cao had the {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}, Wu the {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Leow was all in with {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}. The board came {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and Cao turned a ten to take both final bullets.

Action Resumes

Level 9 : 0/0, 8,000 ante

It is somewhat unclear how many players entered and re-entered within just five minutes, because quite honestly the chips are going on at every hand, 100,000 at a time. So far the screens show 84 entries and that number is guaranteed to climb further.

More Madness Ensues

Level 9 : 0/0, 8,000 ante

Sean Demsey, Patrik Antonius and Romain Arnaud jumped in while Wai Kin Yong was ousted. Ivan Leow sent his chips over to Rui Cao when his {K-Spades}{J-Spades} could not get there versus {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}, the board came {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

Winfred Yu doubled through Yong, then doubled through Torbergsen and was suddenly up to around half a million in chips. "This is a gambling game," he grinned.

Wan Rising

Level 9 : 0/0, 8,000 ante

Hui Ping Wan got there with {9-Spades}{8-Clubs} against the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} of Wai Kin Yong and the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} of Andrew Robl as the board ran out {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} to give him a straight. Robl was ousted on the final bullet but may still re-enter.

Not long after, Yong had departed by now, Winfred Yu was in a three-way all in and tripled up with {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} against Wan's {J-Hearts}{9-Spades} and the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} of Patrik Antonius. The board came {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{A-Spades} and Antonius had to redeem another bullet.

Thomas Goldstein also chipped up and has now around half a million on the same table.

Dwan With Massive Knockout

Level 9 : 0/0, 8,000 ante

Tom Dwan doubled three times early on and just knocked out Yong Ge Dai in a big pot. They got it in with the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} versus {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, and Dwan flopped middle set on {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Dai had some 750,000 and busted on the last bullet.

Wang Qiang jumped back in, it remains a mystery for how many times, as did Wai Kin Yong.

Marius Torbergsen

Marius Torbergsen called the shove of Thomas Goldstein with the {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and faced pocket aces. The board came {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Goldstein had to redeem his final bullet.

Right after, Torbergsen hit a flush with {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} on the board of {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} to get the big stack of Hui Ping Wan, while Patrik Antonius busted the third bullet a mere two minutes later in yet another three-way all in.

A few More Three-Way All Ins

Level 9 : 0/0, 8,000 ante

Winfred Yu almost tripled up with his {A-Spades}{10-Spades} held up against the Marius Torbergsen with {9-}{6-} and Thomas Goldstein's {J-Diamonds}{9-} on a board of {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{K-Hearts}.

Just prior to that, Torbergsen had scored a double knockout with {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} versus {J-Clubs}{10-Spades} and {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, the board came {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, so he could afford the little dent into his stack.

First Break of the Day

Level 9 : 0/0, 8,000 ante

It is difficult to sum up in words just how crazy the action has been over the last two hours, and especially the last level to register, but right now there is silence in the tournament area. That's mainly due to the fact that the players have been sent into the first 10-minute break and the registration will close when the cards get back in the air.

Right now there are 93 entries according to the screens!!!
