Shirley Ang

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Shirley Ang

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The board read with around 60,000 in the middle.

Chris Hunichen had checked in the big blind and Christoph Vogelsang bet 30,000 from the cutoff. Hunichen raised to 105,000 to send Vogelsang in the tank.

At the same time, Jared Bleznick and Seth Davies were discussing something and Vogelsang asked them if they could stop for a bit while he considered his options.

Bleznick wasn't too happy about the request: "Don't ask me to stop talking if you're going to take over a f***cking minute to think about every decision."

As the shot clock was still going, Vogelsang didn't respond as kept on thinking about his options while Yong Wang and Davies tried to say it wasn't actually taking that long as there was a shot clock any ways.

In the end, Vogelsang flicked in a chip for the call but mucked when Hunichen tabled the for the flopped trip treys.

"Nice hand," Vogelsang commented before paying up and giving two time bank cards to the dealer.

Fei Happy To Chop

Cottrell van Wingerden

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

Joe Cada opened to 9,000 from under the gun and was called by Cary Katz in the cutoff. Wesley Fei then three-bet to 32,000 on the button. Cada opted to call only to see Katz announce all in. Fei snap called before attempting to indicate to the dealer that he had meant to re-jam. It was inconsequential as Cada had already mucked.

Cary Katz:
Wesley Fei:

It looked as if both players would chop up the pot, with little changing on the flop. Katz picked up the diamond draw on the turn, however, with Fei left sweating the river. The board bricked out with Fei emitting a cry of victory as the two players pulled back their stacks.
