Two Casualties on Table 19
Level 5
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Cheng Cheng raised to 5,500 and was called by Mehdi Chaoui on the button as well as table short stack Liangqiang Pang in the big blind. On the 8♦4♠3♥ flop, Chaoui raised a bet of 7,000 by Cheng to 24,000 and Cheng called. Chaoui led the 6♥ turn for 53,000 when checked to and then emptied the clip with a shove on the J♠ river.
Cheng called with the KsKd] and caught Chaoui on a move holding the Q♥9♥.
Soon after, Pang got the last few big blinds in with the 8♠8♥. Tamon Nakamura called the three-bet shove with K♦J♥ and came out on top of the K♠6♥3♠5♠A♦ runout.
