Fang Chatting It Up

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Yi Fang arrived late today, but already he has livened up his table and attracted the attention of the ESPN cameras.

On a hand against Roger Hendren, Fang raised a ten-high flop to force Hendren to fold. Fang showed the {10-Hearts} for top pair and then raffled off the following classic lines.

"Look I had top pair, I'm not bluffing."

"I'd rather be lucky then good!"

"I need to be Champion! It is my 20 year anniversary and my wife needs a big diamond!"

A few hands went by and the dealer asked Fang to stack his chips in a countable height of 25 chips instead of the 26 and 27-chip heights he had.

"Oh ok ... but why do I have to make 25s?" asked Fang.

"So people can count them." added the dealer.

"Oh no! I do not want them to count them. It is my little secret!" concluded Fang.

Zhou Wins Flip on Dramatic Board

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Richard Robinson raised to 38,000, and Robin Ylitalo three-bet to 98,000 from the small blind. Zhiwei Zhou then moved all in from the big blind for 164,000.Robinson folded, but Ylitalo called. He turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and was flipping against {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. The flop came {k-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, giving Ylitalo top two pair and the lead. Zhou would need either a queen for a set or running cards to make a straight. The dealer then turned the {q-Spades}, giving Zhou his set. The river was a brick, the {7-Spades}, and Zhou doubled up.

Robin Ylitalo has now doubled up two players at this table and lost over half the stack he started the day with.

Field: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Cornell: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}, giving Field a pair and a flush draw, but the {4-Clubs} turn and {5-Hearts} river bricked out. Field finished 230th place for $37,019.

Sichelstiel Flats Nines Full

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Noah Schwartz
Noah Schwartz

Noah Schwartz raised to 35,000 from the cutoff, and Robert Sichelstiel called from the big blind. The flop came {9-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{8-Spades}, and Sichelstiel check-called 29,000. The turn paired the board with the {8-Hearts}, and Sichelstiel again check-called, this time for 52,000. A {9-Hearts} river double-paired the board, and Sichelstiel checked a final time. Schwartz came out with 129,000 this time, and Sichelstiel quickly called.

Schwartz showed {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the second nut full.

"I knew something was up," Sichelstiel said, flashing the {9-Spades} for nines full of eights. "I should have known."

"You had nines full," Schwartz said simply. "I would have raised with your hand."

Gee Knocks Out Sheikhan

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Shawn Sheikhan (from Day 4)
Shawn Sheikhan (from Day 4)

Shawn Sheikhan — who finished 11th in the WSOP Main Event in 2005 — just open-raised all in from late position for his last 340,000 or so, and the action folded to 2012 WSOP Main Event ninth-place finisher Steve Gee in the small blind.

Gee checked his cards, then pushed all in himself with a stack that appeared roughly similar to Sheikhan's, and the big blind stepped aside.

Gee: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Sheikhan: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{4-Diamonds} to swing the advantage Gee's way, and after the {10-Diamonds} turn and {3-Clubs} river, his pair of aces earned him the pot. The stacks were counted to make sure, and indeed Gee had Sheikhan covered and the latter quickly departed.

Sacrispeyre Sunk

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

A short-stacked Patrick Sacrispeyre was all in before the flop for his last 23,000 with {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and hoping to improve against the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} of Alessandro Fasolis.

Alas for Sacrispeyre, the board ran out {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}, and he joins others who have fallen during the first hour of Day 5.

Kimura KO's Chen

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Alex Bilokur raised it up to 32,000 from middle position, and Kima Kimura three bet it to 75,000 next to act. Action folded to Tommy Chen, who moved all in from the big blind for his last 297,000. Bilokur folds quickly, and Kimura tanked for about a minute before making the call.

Kimura: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Chen: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

Chen held the slight edge in a classic coin flip situation, but that all changed when the flop came down {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Kimura now had the lead with a pair of kings, and Chen was looking for a jack. The turn brought the {9-Hearts}, which gave Chen flush draw outs in addition to the jack. The river was red, but it was the {4-Diamonds}, giving Kimura the knockout, and upping her stack to 819,000.
