Big Double for Ivey

Level 7 : 0/0, 5,000 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

In a preflop raising war Phil Ivey ended up all in and at risk for 527,000 with the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} and Gabe Patgorski, who had Ivey out-chipped by two to one, looked him up with the {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. The board came {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Ivey received the check mark for the massive double on the turn already.

Phua Busts Twice; Doubles Twice on Third Bullet

Level 7 : 0/0, 5,000 ante
Paul Phua
Paul Phua

The second bullet of Paul Phua saw him all in and at risk with the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} against Devan Tang's {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and the latter turned a straight on the board of {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

The next hand saw a five-way limped pot to the {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Spades} flop and Chan Wai Leong bet 40,000 first to act. Phua moved all in from the button for 90,000 and Leong called with the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}. Phua had the {A-Clubs}{9-Spades} and got there thanks to the {9-Diamonds} turn and {7-Clubs} river run out.

Phua then got it in for 225,000 preflop with the {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} against Leong's {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and called for three diamonds on the flop and an ace on the river. The first prediction was spot on with a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, the {9-Diamonds} turn improved Phua to a flush and the {7-Clubs} river was already meaningless.

Ivey Traps Phua

Level 7 : 0/0, 5,000 ante

First to act Phil Ivey limped in for 10,000 and Paul Phua moved all in from the cutoff for more than 200,000. Ivey snap-called and once the cards were tabled, Phua said "trappy trappy Phil."

Paul Phua: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Phil Ivey: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop left Phua in bad shape, as he required runner runner to avoid using his second bullet. Phua called for the seven and eight combo, but the {6-Diamonds} turn sealed his fate, making the {8-Hearts} river a formality. Phua opted to use just one of his two remaining bullets on the current entry.

Rui's Roller Coaster

Level 7 : 0/0, 5,000 ante

Rui Cao got it in with the {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} against Furkat Rakhimov's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} on the feature table in the last level and saw the board run out {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{K-Clubs}{A-Spades}. Cao was left short and ran up the stack again after coming back from the break. Then, Ivan Leow sat down for the third entry and got his first bullet in for 95,000 with the {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Cao called with the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and the board of {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts} gave Leow a pair of jacks to double.

Patgorski Calls for a Chop; Gets It

Level 7 : 0/0, 5,000 ante

Hing Yang Chow has been eliminated before the break, while Winfred Yu and Peter Jetten are fighting with short stacks after play has resumed. Jetten jammed in the cutoff and was called by Gabe Patgorski, who was last to act on the button.

Peter Jetten: {K-Spades}{9-Spades}
Gabe Patgorski: {K-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

"Chop it up," Patgorski said, but that seemed unlikely on the {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop. However, the {K-Clubs} turn and {A-Hearts} river produced exactly what Patgorski had already predicted.

Koon Doubles Through Torbergsen

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

Marius Torbergsen had just doubled through Lim Chin Wei when he rivered the nut straight with {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and then faced the open-shove of Jason Koon first to act for 266,000. Torbergsen reshoved for around 300,000 from one seat over and all other opponents folded.

Jason Koon: {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Marius Torbergsen: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The board came {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Koon spiked the king on the river to double. Torbergsen was left with some 42,000, got one shove through and busted after to re-enter and get the same table once more.
