Set-Over-Set Debacle for O'Dwyer

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

The completed board showed {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and there were some 120,000 in the middle. Patrik Antonius checked out of the big blind and Steve O'Dwyer bet 75,000 with 124,000 behind. Antonius check-raised to 300,000 and O'Dwyer looked over to him to get any kind of reaction.

His shot clock ran down to one second and O'Dwyer called, then saw Antonius turn over {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a set of nines. O'Dwyer mucked his {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for an inferior turned set of treys and left the table with a dry smile on the face.

Christner Takes the Lead

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Paul Phua

"It's not a good seat, just wait until someone else registers and sits down there," Bryn Kenney joked after Paul Phua walked past him and said he had been eliminated with kings versus aces. The chips went to Christian Christner, who still had his {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} tabled with the board showing {J-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}.

It was indeed the second time that Phua had been eliminated from this very seat after having re-entered not long ago.

Tan Busts to Torbergsen

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Devan Tang was waiting to get moved tables in order to balance the emaining field after the additions of Steve O'Dwyer on his second bullet and Winfred Yu on the first entry. However, a big pot was still to be wrapped up on his table and the completed board showed {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Xuan Tan moved all in for 95,000 into a pot of 150,000 and Marius Torbergsen used one time bank extension before flicking in a call. Tan briefly showed his cards but could not beat the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} of Torbergsen to become the next casualty.

Re-Entry for Fast; Leong Back on Track

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Dietrich Fast sent over his stack to Mikita Badziakouski and re-entered only to be greeted back on the very same seat upon re-entry, triggering a few smiles all over the table.

One table over, Patrik Antonius made it 15,000 to go and Julian Thomas called in the small blind. Out of the big blind, start-of-the-day chip leader Chan Wai Leong three-bet to 60,000 and Antonius called, Thomas folded. The flop fell {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and a quick continuation bet for55,000 did the trick for Leong, as Antonius sent his cards into the muck.

Loeser Busts Koon

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Manig Loeser opened the action with a raise to 15,000 on the button and Jason Koon got his remaining 99,000 in from the big blind. Loeser glanced over at the stack of his opponent and called after brief consideration.

Jason Koon: {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Manig Loeser: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The {K-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Spades} flop took away some outs from Koon, and the {10-Clubs} turn and {10-Spades} river run out failed to improve the American poker pro to see the defending champion thrive further up the leader board.
