Another Knockout for Yang

Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Daji Qian put his hopes on the Q♠10♥ and was up against fellow Chinese player Mingxin Yang with the K♠K♣. The Q♥6♦5♥ flop brought some equity boost, but the 5♣ turn and 2♠ river were both blanks.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Doron Tzur had arrived at the table only a few minutes ago and the first hand he played, the chips ended into the middle with Jaehyun Lee looking him up after plenty of consideration and "gamble" according to his shrug and giggle.

Doron Tzur: A♣K♦ All in
Jaehyun Lee: 10♣9♣

The board ran out A♥K♠5♣2♠K♥ and Tzur doubled with a boat.

Lee was then all-in with A♠K♣ versus Q♦J♥ and remained ahead on the K♠6♠2♥7♥8♠ board to smile at Tzur.
