Last Hands from the Action Table

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Table four is the former feature table and with chip leader Chan Wai Leong and the active Xuan Tan at the table, along with Bryn Kenny, Dominik Nitsche, Jason Koon and Marius Torbergsen all seated and in action, there was plenty of that to go around for the last five hands.

We picked up a three-way hand that took place between Dominik Nitsche (big blind), Leong (under-the-gun) and Tan (under-the-gun-plus-one), arriving on the flop with the community cards spread {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Nitsche had checked the action over to Leong, who led for what looked to be around 13,000 and was called in both spots.

That was it for the betting for the rest of the hand with the {9-Diamonds} turn and {3-Clubs} river being checked around. Nitsche turned over {4-Spades}{3-Spades} for a rivered two pair and the other two players mucked quickly.

Chipleader Leong and Jason Koon played an interesting hand not long after this, with Leong the pre-flop aggressor making it 8,500 to go from the button and Koon defending from the big blind.

Koon checked the {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop over to Leong, who continuation bet 7,500 and Koon busted out a quick check-raise to 32,000. Leong double checked his cards and used nearly the full 30-seconds of the shot clock before tossing out the call and it was off to the {2-Clubs} turn.

Now Koon had the initiative he seemed keen to keep it and fired for 28,000, which Leong called once more to bring in the {7-Spades} river.

This saw Koon bomb it for 115,000 leaving himself 86,000 behind and Leong used the full 30-seconds before tapping the table and sliding his cards into the muck leaving Koon to rake in a tasty pot.

Bryn Kenney and Xuan Tan seemed eager to squeeze out the last little piece of action in the last hand, with Kenney the initial aggressor, making it 10,500 to go from under-the-gun and Tan made the call on the button.

The {2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop saw no betting, with Kenney also checking the {3-Hearts} turn, leaving Tan free to take a stab for 10,500, which was quickly called.

The {7-Clubs} river saw Kenney check again and Tan quickly reached for chips, betting out 27,000, with Kenney again making a quick call.

Tan turned over {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} but this was not enough to best Kenney’s {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} and the US pro won the last hand of the day, at least on this table and it appears that it is Chan Wai Leong who will be taking the chip lead into Day 2 with a stack of 778,500.
