Grasshopper Springs a Double

Fu "Grasshopper" Wong raised and had 4,000 behind. Action folded over to Nikolay Losev in the big blind and he reraised to put Wong all in. Wong made the call with {A-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}. Losev hadn't looked and squeezed his cards to reveal {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts}.

The flop came down {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} and Wong stood up saying, "Oh my god, c'mon."

The turn brought the {K-Hearts} and then the river the {K-Diamonds}, pairing the board again and making Wong's ace kicker play. He clapped his hands together and then sat back down to collect his chips.

Fu "Grasshopper" Wong Eliminated in 14th Place ($8,855)

Fu "Grasshopper" Wong - 14th Place
Fu "Grasshopper" Wong - 14th Place
Fu "Grasshopper" Wong raised from middle position and then action folded back over to Nikolay Losev in the big blind. He took some time on deciding whether or not he would reraise to put Wong all in. Indeed he did so and Wong made the call.

Wong held {A-Spades} {8-Clubs} and Losev held {Q-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}. The flop contained a seven, {9-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {3-Spades}, to put Losev in the lead. The turn brought the {10-Spades} and gave Wong a lot more outs. The river was a blank with the {2-Diamonds} and that was it for Wong, as he was eliminated in 14th place.

Negreanu Forced to Fold Big Slick

With the board reading {J-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, Daniel Negreanu was faced with a bet from a short-stacked Robert Como.

Negreanu eyed his opponent and analyzed the situation.

"You wouldn't be bluffing here? I think you have a pair" quipped Negreanu before folding {A-?}{K-?}.

Como survives as we continue to struggle to get down to our final two tables.

Andrew Wang Eliminated in 13th Place ($8,855)

Andrew Wang was crippled in a hand with Franklin Kline Jr. and left with only 8,000 to toss into the middle preflop against Tommi Horkko and Kevin Hong.

Hong folded on the flop of {J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} as Horkko showed down {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a draw with overcard against Wang's {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a pair of fives. The turn completed the flush with the {Q-Diamonds} before the {K-Spades} fell on the river to end the day of Wang in 13th place for a collect of $8,855.

The turn was the {J-Hearts} and Buchanan checked to Ray who bet, but Buchanan put in the check-raise. Ray made the call and then called the river bet when the {4-Clubs} landed.

Buchanan tabled {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for trip jacks to take it down.
