Danilau Eliminated by Yang

Christian Zetzsche

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Following an open raise and a three-bet to 5,000 by Yury Danilau, Mingxin Yang pushed in his stack thereafter. It folded back to Danilau who asked how much more it was before he eventually piled in his chips in kind of a massive string bet.

Yury Danilau: A♥10♥ All in
Mingxin Yang: K♠K♥

The board ran out 8♠7♣4♥6♠3♠ and that spelled the end for the Belorussian for now.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mingxin Yang	65,000 10,000	10,000
Yury Danilau	Busted

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A four-way pot to the 7♣5♠3♦ flop was checked to Yixing Yu and he bet 3,000. Joel Singam called and table big stack San Aung Hpaung then check-raised to 13,000. Only Singam called and Hpaung checked for his stack before he jammed the 7♦ turn for 24,800. Singam pondered about it for a minute and folded.

Before raking in the pot, Hpaung asked the dealer how much time a player would have to think about their decision while also flashing his A♠Q♣.

Player	Chips	Progress
San Aung Hpaung	165,000 165,000	165,000
Joel Singam	24,800 24,800	24,800
