Wang Makes a Move at the Wrong Time

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Chih-Yuan Wang raised it up to 225,000 off a stack of 24 big blinds and then peeled a three-bet to 575,000 by Jun Obara in the cutoff. On the A♥9♠4♠ flop, Wang led for 200,000 and Obara raised to 475,000 for Wang to call.

The J♠ came on the turn and Wang jammed for some 1.6 million, Obara instantly called.

Chih-Yuan Wang: 4♦3♦ All in
Jun Obara: A♣J♦

Wang's bottom pair were in shambles against the turned top two pair of Obara and he found no miracle escape on the 8♣ river. Other players at the table were somewhat flabbergasted and Nang Quang Nguyen smirked, then said "merry Christmas" to Obara.

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 200,000 from under the gun and he then folded when Ming Dai and Cheng Cheng moved all-in right behind him.

Ming Dai: 10♠10♥ All in
Cheng Cheng: J♠J♥

The pipped pair of Dai failed to connect on the 4♠3♠5♥2♥K♥ board and that spelled the end for him.

Shortly thereafter, Lifu Huang looked up the shove of Konstantin Voronin for only 700,000, the rest of the table folded.

Konstantin Voronin: A♠4♦ All in
Lifu Huang: A♥Q♥

The K♦Q♦3♣A♦9♥ board left Voronin drawing dead on the turn.

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Anze Smajd was one of the larger stacks in the early stages of the day but had since plummeted to only 14 blinds. He limped from the small blind and called a small raise to 275,000 by [Removed:546] in the big blind. On the J♣7♠3♣ flop, he check-raised from 200,000 to 450,000 with fewer than seven blinds behind and then called all-in when [Removed:547] pushed.

Anze Smajd: J♥8♣ All in
[Removed:546]: K♣Q♦

[Removed:547] was caught on a move but it paid off, as the Q♠ turn and Q♥ river gave him trips queens for the knockout.

Player	Chips	Progress
[Removed:546]	7,100,000 1,375,000	1,375,000

Connor Richards

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

David Chen raised to 200,000 in the hijack and Mehdi Chaoui called on the button.

The flop of 4♣2♠8♠ checked through and Chen bet 500,000 on the 2♥ turn. Chaoui called.

Chen then bet 2,400,000 on the 10♦ river and Chaoui called. Chen could only show king-high with K♠6♠ as Chaoui tabled 8♥7♥ to win the pot with eights and deuces.

Mehdi Chaoui	8,800,000 3,095,000	3,095,000

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Without further ado, Roman Stoika pushed for 1.2 million on the button and Michael Zhang called in the big blind for around one third of his stack.

Roman Stoika: A♥10♣ All in
Michael Zhang: A♦5♦

Stoika had the best of it preflop, on the K♠7♦2♥ flop and the K♣ turn. However, Zhang drilled the 5♣ on the river and sent Stoika to the payout desk.

Mounim Kaddouri: A♠Q♣ All in
Joshua McCully: 6♥6♦

The K♦9♥5♥5♠8♥ board kept the pocket pair in the lead and Kaddouri departed in 81st place, the table broke right after.
