Christian Zetzsche

Level 30 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Daniel Perkusic raised the pot to 2,400,000 and Danny Tang called out of the big blind, then asked "are you folding any flops?"

The K♣9♦6♦ flop saw Tang move all-in for the rest of it and Perkusic called.

Danny Tang: K♦6♥6♠5♦ All in
Daniel Perkusic: A♠K♠9♣2♣

Tang had flopped bottom set while Perkusic had the top two pair. On the A♦ turn, Perkusic asked for an ace or nine and got his wish granted with the 9♥ river to seal his victory.

Tang was denied a second WSOP gold bracelet, but has earned a handsome payout of $1,400,217.

Level 28 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Daniel Perkusic limped the button and Jim Collopy did so from the small blind. Danny Tang raised the pot and Collopy called the 1,500,000 total. The J♣6♥3♠ flop saw Collopy check and then fold to a bet worth 1,225,000 by Tang.

Collopy then potted the button to win the blinds, flashing the A♣K♣K♥.

One hand later, Collopy was in the big blind with a stack of around 6,300,000 behind. Perkusic raised the pot out of the small blind and Collopy repotted. "All in, all in," he quickly said once Perkusic piled it in and they flipped them over.

Jim Collopy: K♣K♦3♥3♠ All in
Daniel Perkusic: A♣A♠10♦3♣

"How do we get kings versus aces, and you even have a three as well," a frustrated Collopy said.

There was no escape for him on the J♦6♠6♣Q♠4♥ runout and Collopy exited in third place for $973,882. Both remaining players now take a quick break prior to the heads-up duel.

Level 27 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Danny Tang raised to 875,000 under the gun and saw Ronald Keijzer defend his big blind. On the 2♦10♥Q♠ flop, Tang continued for 1,500,000 chips and Keijzer check-called.

The Q♥ turn then emerged from the deck and saw Tang size down to 1,350,000. Keijzer check-called again to see the J♣ appear on the river.

Keijzer checked for a third time, after which Tang slid in 4,200,000 chips. Keijzer spent one time bank before announcing his all in for 9,525,000 chips total.

Tang went into a tank of his own, but eventually threw in a calling chip.

"Nice call," said Keijzer as he tabled A♠J♥10♦8♣ for an attempted bluff with his full house blockers. Tang showed down Q♣10♣7♥8♥ for queens full of tens and raked in the massive pot.

"I just couldn't lay it down," Tang explained as he was awarded the pot. He ended up with more than half the chips in play while Keijzer headed to the payout desk to collect his fourth-place prize money.

Level 26 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

In the second hand of the day, Santhosh Suvarna raised the pot to 1,050,000 and Daniel Perkusic called out of the big blind.

The flop brought J♥8♣5♥ and Perkusic bet the pot, then instantly called the shove of Suvarna.

Santhosh Suvarna: A♣A♥6♦5♠ All in
Daniel Perkusic: A♦Q♦8♦8♠

Perkusic's set of eights had Suvarna on very thin ice, as only one ace was left in the deck. Running cards to a straight were also an option but the 2♣ turn left Suvarna with just the case ace. No miracle came with the 3♦ river and Suvarna was eliminated in fifth place for $503,085.
