Sato More Than Doubles

Christian Zetzsche

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Yan Xuan raised and Manabu Satu then jammed for Chi Wei Lo to call from the small blind, Xuan also went with it and had very few chips behind on a pay jump.

Lo jammed the Q♠J♠9♥ flop and Xuan reluctantly called.

Manabu Sato: J♦J♥ All in
Yan Xuan: A♠3♦ All in
Chi Wei Lo: K♠Q♦

The Q♥ turn gave Lo some outs to knock out two players but the 8♥ river was a blank to reduce the field to the last 40 hopefuls. After the hand was over, Alex Lee arrived at Xuan's former seat with a monster stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alex Lee	9,200,000 7,900,000	7,900,000
Chi Wei Lo	2,775,000 25,000	25,000

Pau Sanremo: K♥Q♣ All in
Mingzhe Zhang: A♠K♣

The dominated hand found no help on the 5♥4♥2♥9♦10♠ board and the Spanish player headed to the payout desk.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Thi My Phuong Nguyen was all-in for her last 75,000 and Khant Naing looked her up with a small Vietnamese rail building.

Thi My Phuong Nguyen: A♦6♥ All in
Khant Naing: A♣Q♦

The shouts for a six died down on the J♥3♦2♣8♣9♥ runout but her rail told the good news, as the field had ticked down to 32 left and thus giving Nguyen the pay jump. Feng Xu busted right after and that brought the field down to only 30 hopefuls.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Tanupat Punjarojanakul was all-in for 1,025,000 with Q♦J♣ against the A♦7♦ of Aung Khaing Min and got there on the 7♣2♦2♥J♥K♦ board. He was left with 100,000 in chips and forced all-in from the small blind next.

Dmitry Suchkov then raised to 400,000 and Thiyam Singh called in the big blind. The 10♦8♦2♠ flop was checked and Singh bet the 2♥ turn for 400,000, Suchkov called. Both active players checked the J♠ river and Min showed A♠4♥. Singh revealed his A♣3♥ and Suchkov mucked his cards to forfeit both pots.

Min saw no happy end though and busted shortly after.

Wooyoung Lee pushed all-in for 1,550,000 and Manabu Sato went all-in over the top for 2,525,000. Chenxu Zhang in the small blind used a time bank and folded, as did the big blind.

Wooyoung Lee: A♦10♥ All in
Manabu Sato: Q♣Q♦

The 6♣5♥4♥9♣9♦ board changed nothing and Lee was eliminated. Zhang said she had folded pocket sevens.
