All In or Bust

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

As the action was picked, it appeared as Guillermo Rameriz raised to 32,000. Shawn Buchanan was all in before the flop for less and Yuta Iwasa had re-shoved and Rameriz folded.

Shawn Buchanan: J9All in
Yuta Iwas: 77

A flop of 692 seemed to favor Buchanan but a 7 on the river spelled disaster for him as the river came the 6, Full house for Isawa. Buchanan was sent to the payout cage to collect as bad beats around the floor of the colossus were rampant.

Deshpande took some time to think before making the fold.

Assmus and Frantz are Eliminated

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Bryan Frantz was down to only a few big blinds when he was all in and at risk from the big blind. He was up against Yushan Shi to his direct left. Action was followed from the A210 flop.

Bryan Frantz: 3JAll in
Yushan Shi: KQ

The 10 turn and 7 river didn't change anything, and Shi was left to take the pot, eliminating Frantz early in the day.

On the next table across, Stephan Assmus was also all in and at risk of elimination from a middle position with only a short stack remaining. Mengqi Chen called Assmus in the cutoff, and the players went heads-up to the runout.

Stephan Assmus: 22All in
Mengqi Chen: AQ

Assmus was hoping to hold, but Chen hit an ace on the 76A flop to put him ahead.

The 5 turn and 6 runout didn't save Assmus, and he was also eliminated in the first level of the day.
