Cucak Clobbers Rajkumar

Vivek Rajkumar Eliminated
Vivek Rajkumar Eliminated

We caught up to find Vivek Rajkumar all in for his tournament life holding {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} before the flop. Rajkumar was called and crushed by Remy Cucak's {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}.

Rajkumar was looking for a ten, but did not find it on the board of {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{6-Clubs}. By eliminating Rajkumar, Cucak's stack has now increased to 610,000.

Young Eliminated

Justin Young
Justin Young

Justin Young just found himself literally experiencing the old "chip and a chair" cliché after losing all but 2,000 of his stack.

Down below 100,000, he engaged in a blind-vs.-blind preflop all-in against a neighboring short stack in which his {Q-Spades}{7-Hearts} failed to improve against his opponent's {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. That left him with two yellow chips, worth 1,000 each, and after paying the ante for the next hand he was down to a single chip.

It folded to Trevor Vanderveen who raised, and when it folded to Young on the button he called without looking at his hand. All others folded, Vanderveen tabled {J-Spades}{9-Spades}, and Young squeezed his hand before showing {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

"What a player!" said Vanderveen with a grin. The board ran out {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{K-Diamonds}, and Young was up to 12,000.

Young would fold the next two hands, then committed his last 10,000 and faced a couple of opponents in the blinds, including Vanderveen in the big blind. "Don't be afraid to bluff each other," cracked Young. "Big bluffs!" The table laughed.

Both of the remaining players checked the {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop. Then when Vanderveen bet the {Q-Spades} turn, the other player folded. "Sorry, Justin," said Vanderveen, turning over {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. Young showed his {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, and after the meaningless river {K-Spades} he shook hands with his opponents and departed.

Lichtenberger Scores Massive Pot to More Than Double Up

Andrew Lichtenberger
Andrew Lichtenberger

Jeremy Ausmus opened for 17,000 from middle position and action folded around to Filip Verboven, who pushed all in for his last 120,000 from the cutoff seat. Andrew "LuckyChewy" Lichtenberger then cold-called from the button. It was folded back to Ausmus, who announced he was all in. Lichtenberger quickly called all-in for 401,000 total and all three hands were revealed.

Lichtenberger: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Ausmus: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Verboven: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Ausmus was in great shape to eliminate both of his opponents, however, the {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades} board left Lichtenberger with a set of kings - good for the massive scoop to chip Lichtenberger up to 930,000.

Verboven was eliminated and Ausmus slipped back down to 600,000.

Terrence Chan Taken Out

Terrance Chan eliminated
Terrance Chan eliminated

We saw Terrence Chan standing up as we walked over to his table, and we saw that he had {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} face up and all his chips in the middle preflop. Chan was in trouble though, as Jeffrey Fielder made the call with {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The flop brought alittle help for Chan, coming {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. This gave Chan an inside straight draw to go along with his king, but the board didn't bring either, completing {7-Spades} and {q-Spades}.

Chan hits the rail, while Fielder jumps up to 615,000.

An Van Triple

We caught up to see An Van Tran all in and at risk against two opponents. Tran's all in was called by Erik Wigg and Jean Malherbe. The flop came down {A-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and Malherbe fired out a bet. Wigg got out of the way and the hands were tabled.

Tran: {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Malherbe: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Tran was drawing huge, looking for any pair, club, or ten for the straight. The {7-Diamonds} on fourth street did not do it for him, but the {4-Clubs} on fifth did. Tran was able to drag in a triple and is now sitting on about 200,000 in chips.

Kang Doubles Through Hawkins

Webber Kang was just all in and at risk for 169,000 total following a {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop. Kang held {A-Spades}{10-Spades} and still needed to improve against Maurice Hawkins's {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

The turn brought Kang a needed card — the {K-Spades} — completing his flush and making the {2-Hearts} river no matter. Kang doubles up, while Hawkins continues to maintain a nearly average stack.
