Chen Picks Off Heung

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ben Tollerene raised to 5,000 from under the gun, and Wayne Heung called from one seat to his left. Defeng Chen then moved all-in for 250,000 from the cutoff. Tollerene folded, but Heung called. Heung had 212,000 and was the player at risk.

Wayne Heung: 88 All in
Defeng Chen: 1010

The 6JQA3 board didn't change the preflop standings, and Heung joined the rail.

Quads Cracks Aces to Move Thorel Over One Million, Petrangelo the Victim

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel
Jean-Noel Thorel

Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 5,000 from middle position, and Nick Petrangelo three-bet to 20,000 on the button. When the action returned to Thorel, he called.

Thorel check-called when Petrangelo continued for 20,000 on a 323 flop, and the same sequence occurred on the K turn; Thorel check-called again when Petrangelo barreled for 80,000.

The 3 completed the board, and Thorel checked a final time. Petrangelo bet 300,000, leaving 36,000 behind. Thorel put him all-in, and Petrangelo called.

Petrangelo had AA for top full house, but was a long way behind the quads of Thorel, who flipped over 32.

You're Going to Need a Bigger Boat

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mike Watson
Mike Watson

Hannes Jeschka raised to 6,000 from middle position, and Mike Watson called in the big blind.

Watson check-called when Jeschka bet 5,000 on the 5J9 flop, and the 5 turn was checked through.

The A completed the board, and Watson checked again. Jeschka bet 13,000, and Watson check-raised to 66,000. Jeschka then three-bet all-in for 239,000, and Watson called for slightly less.

Watson showed down A5, for a rivered full house, but it wasn't enough, as Jeschka flipped over JJ, for a better boat.

Punsri Applies Maximum Pressure

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Punnat Punsri raised to 5,500 from the cutoff, and Ben Heath defended his big blind.

Heath check-called when Punsri bet 7,500 on a KQJ flop, and the A turn was checked through.

When the 6 river joined the board, Heath led out for 30,000, but quickly folded when Punsri raised enough to put him all-in.

Punsri bet 23,000 on a QQJ flop, then bet another 25,000 on the 9 turn, and Piekazewicz called both times.

The 4 completed the board, and Punsri fired a final bet of 89,000. Undeterred, Piekazewicz called again.

Punsri tabled KK, and Piekazewicz mucked his cards.

Wai Kiat Lee raised to 5,000 on the button and called when Quan Zhou three-bet to 24,000 from the small blind.

Both players checked on the 6103 flop, but when Zhou checked again on the 7 turn, Lee bet 18,000, which Zhou called.

The 7 completed the board, and Zhou checked once again. Lee bet 73,000, leaving 2,000 behind, and Zhou called.

Lee tabled KJ, and Zhou revealed his correct hero call with AQ.

Chen Fires Three

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Alexandros Theologis raised to 4,500 from under the gun and was the only caller when Defeng Chen three-bet to 19,000 from the hijack.

Theologis check-called a bet of 13,000 on a 24Q flop, and check-called again when Chen bet 62,000 on the 4 turn. However, when he checked a third time on the 8 river and Chen barreled for 81,000, Theologis let go of his hand.
