Triple Up for Rakhimov

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

In the last level over on the feature table, Rui Cao shoved for 168,000 with the {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Furkat Rakhimov called for 127,000 with the {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}. Paul Phua on the button had both covered and called with the {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. The {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} flop instantly gave Rakhimov a full house, making the {9-Spades} turn and {9-Diamonds} river a formality.

Cao was then moved to the outer tables, on which he busted after being unable to beat the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} of Mikhail Smirnov on a board of {K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

Ivey Loses Two All Ins

Level 5 : 0/0, 3,000 ante

Over on the feature table the pocket kings of Phil Ivey were cracked by the queen-ten of Rui Cao and soon after Ivey took another hit to the stack. Ivey limp-called the shove of Hing Yang Chow for 88,000 and tabled the {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Chow had {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and the board came {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} to let Chow double as well.

Second Attempt for Patgorski

Level 5 : 0/0, 3,000 ante

Yet another player has been eliminated after firing all three bullets of 100,000 and that has been Gabe Patgorski. He got the remaining 95,000 in preflop with the {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Peter Jetten looked him up with the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. On the {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop, Jetten joked "any nines about?" and asked for a split pot, as the nine also plays as a five.

The blank {J-Clubs} turn changed nothing whatsoever, but Jetten spiked the {Q-Diamonds} on the river to improve to a pair of queens. Patgorski bought back in for attempt number two and was seated right next to his previous nemesis.

Leow's Stack Melted

Level 5 : 0/0, 3,000 ante

The hero not long ago, Ivan Leow just crashed out in a three-way all in that started with a rather innocent limp of Romain Arnaud. Behind them was the squeeze to 50,000 by short stack Devan Tang and the shove of Leow for more than 350,000, Arnaud called instantly.

Devan Tang: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}
Ivan Leow: {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Romain Arnaud: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The {K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Spades} flop gave Arnaud top set, while Tang asked for a spade. The {Q-Hearts} turn changed nothing much, while Tang indeed spiked the flush thanks to the {A-Spades} river to scored much needed triple up. Leow busted his third bullet and bought back in for the second attempt right after.
