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

Yao-Hsien Chang was all-in for only 8,000 in chips and called by two larger stacks in Kunal Punjwani and Dengdong Huang. The two active players checked down the 8♠3♦2♠J♣4♥ board and Punjwani tabled the A♣4♣ for a pair of fours.

Chang was ahead with the K♦J♥ and the K♥6♥ of Huang were no threat either.

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

Nicholas Teoh was all-in for only 30,500 with the 5♠5♦ and needed a lot of help, as Tsan Wa Li had him crushed with the K♥K♣.

The Q♣5♣5♥10♠2♥ board delivered not one but both of the remaining fives for quads to double.

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

Just before their table broke, Edmund Lau earned two double ups through Aimkhot Thanadon.

The first one came with Q♥10♥ versus A♣5♠ for a short stack when he made trips on the K♠Q♠8♥Q♣J♠ runout.

He then jammed for 53,000 and Thanadon went over the top to isolate.

Edmund Lau: K♠Q♦
Aimkhot Thanadon: J♥J♣

The 6♥5♣4♣K♦A♠ board delivered the next double before they parted ways.

Calvin Tan: A♥K♥ All in
