Michael Chi Zhang Eliminated in 6th Place (£711,000)

Level 24 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Michael Zhang
Michael Zhang

Paul Phau opened to 425,000 from the hijack with {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}, Michael Chi Zhang looked down at {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and elected to move all in for 5,010,000. Phua snap-called and the two turned over their hands with Zhang at risk.

Michael Chi Zhang: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Paul Phua: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The dealer fanned out a one-sided flop of {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, giving Phua a boat. Zhang was drawing slim and now needed runner nines to take down the pot.

A {q-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn and the crowd went wild as the Triton co-founder was now guaranteed the pot with his four ladies. The {2-Diamonds} completed the board and Zhang took an exit in sixth place to the start of day chipleader.

Zhang Pulls in a Pot

Level 24 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Michael Chi Zhang looked down at {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and raised to 400,000 from under the gun. Sam Greenwood defended his big blind with {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

Greenwood check-called a bet of 200,000 from Zhang and an unflattering {7-Diamonds} landed on the turn. Greenwood checked to Zhang, he bet 500,000 and Greenwood instantly folded, sending a pot to Zhang.

Dan Cates

Daniel Cates moved all in for 1,650,000 from the cutoff with {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, and Stephen Chidwick three-bet shoved for 2,300,000 with {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts} from the small blind.

Michael Soyza looked down at {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} in the big blind and called.

Soyza held the advantage and was in the position to score a double knockout.

The flop fell {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, and Soyza kept his lead but saw Chidwick pick up the flush draw.

Chidwick's outs further increased on the {6-Spades} turn, with Cates also able to survive still.

But the {6-Clubs} river was the perfect card for Soyza and signaled the end for Chidwick and Cates.

Stephen Chidwick opened to 400,000 from early position with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and Daniel Cates moved all in for 1,030,000 in the big blind with his {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. Chidwick called and the two tabled their hands.

Daniel Cates: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Stephen Chidwick: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The flop came down huge for Cates when the dealer fanned out {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Spades} on the flop, giving him the lead with his newly acquired pair of queens.
