Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Players were three-ways on the J♥9♣9♦ flop and Eugene Tung was already forced all in in the small blind for his remaining 15,000.

Bruno Fuentes bet 50,000 from the cutoff, and Yang Zhang called on the button.

The 2♥ was turned and Fuentes bet 155,000 and Zhang made another call.

Fuentes checked the J♦ river, Zhang bet 425,000 and Fuentes folded. Zhang took the side pot, leaving Tung to see his fate heads up.

Eugene Tung: A♦10♦ All in
Yang Zhang: K♣Q♥

Tung took the main pot, tripling up to three big binds.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Delmiro Toledo shoved all in with his last 700,000 chips. Samuel Taylor made the call.

Delmiro Toledo: K♦8♦ All in
Samuel Taylor: A♥9♥

Toldeo was fine on the flop 6♥3♥8♣, though Taylor had a big flush draw. The flush never came, but the turn 7♦ and river 10♣, were unkind to Toledo, giving Taylor a straight and the huge win.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Olga Iermolcheva opened from early position to 60,000 and got a call from Nathan Tang in the small blind and Matthew Paston in the big blind.

The A♦J♣2♦ flop was checked by all to the 7♥ turn. Tang checked and Paston bet 85,000. Iermolcheva called and so did Tang.

The 8♠ river was checked by the blinds and Iermolcheva bet 200,000. Tang folded and Paston called for his remaining 100,000 stack.

Matthew Paston: A♣10♦ All in
Olga Iermolcheva: 7♠7♣

Iermolcheva quickly flipped over her pocket pair, hitting a set of sevens on the turn. Paston's pair of aces wasn't enough to save him and he was eliminated early in the day.

Olga Iermolcheva raised to 60,000 preflop. Eugene Tung called on the button and Hung Vo defended his big blind.

Vo led for 100,000 when the 10♥ completed the river. Iermolcheva called and Tung flicked it in as well.

Neither of the callers had a chance when Vo tabled A♠10♠ for the nut flush.

Guerin Battles with Crane

Laura Fryer

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Didier Guerin opened from middle position to 60,000 and Sebastian Crane three-bet to 155,000 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Guerin who four-bet to 365,000 and Crane moved all in for around 3,200,000. Guerin was the shorter of the two stacks with around, 1,000,000 but made a quick call.

Didier Guerin: A♠A♣ All in
Sebastian Crane: 9♥9♠

It was Guerin who was sitting comfortably preflop and things stayed that way with little sweat on the J♣3♦6♥6♣3♣ runout.

Guerin secured the double, and Crane was knocked down in the counts.

Big Stack Versus Bigger Stack

Jerome Solomon

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Two of the ranking chip leaders, Yang Zhang and Bruno Fuentes, went head-to-head, or more like elbow-to-elbow in a battle of the blinds.

The action started on a flop of K♠4♣K♥. Fuentes bet 80,000. Zhang, sitting to his immediate left, raised the pot to 240,000. Fuentes upped it to 430,000, which Zhang quickly called.

The turn was the 5♠. Fuentes paused for a minute, then checked. Zhang grabbed 10 blue chips to bet one million.

Fuentes folded.

Hung Vo, seated on the other side of the table from the big stacks, chimed in. "Show the hand, please," he said. "That's a lot of drama. We need to see it."
