First Casualties in the Money
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Hans Liu was all-in soon after the bubble burst with the K♣Q♣ and had a mountain to climb against the A♦Q♥ of Aliaksei Boika. The 4♥4♦3♣Q♠10♠ board ensured that the ace played as kicker and knocked out Liu as first casualty in the money.
Wang Sum Li then jammed only 285,000 with the Q♣J♥ and Sirzat Hissou did so one seat over for two times as many chips with the A♥J♦. The Q♠8♠8♦A♠5♥ gave both players two pair and Li was gone next.
