Sava Krink

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Shuo Song opened the action from late position and found a caller in Anzhela Vasylenko on the button.

The flop came 5♥J♥5♠, and both players opted to check. On the 8♠ turn, Song checked again, and Vasylenko took the initiative with a bet of 110,000. Song made the call.

The river brought the 4♦, and Song checked for a third time. Vasylenko paused to consider her options before checking behind.

Song revealed A♥9♦ for just ace high, but Vasylenko’s Q♠J♦ gave her top pair and the winning hand.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action was picked up with Nicolas Schnoz calling Christian Lim's all-in for around 600,000 from the big blind, putting himself at risk.

Nicolas Schnoz: 6♠6♥ All in
Christian Lim: A♣4♣

The flop came 9♠10♣7♦ making Schnoz a favorite with additional outs to improve. Lim needed an ace to drop to shift the advantage to his favor, but the runout went 4♦8♥ securing Schnoz's double up.

In the following hand, with only 70,000 left, Lim open-shoved from the small blind and got called by the big blind, Fabio Muhr.

Christian Lim: A♥6♠ All in
Fabio Muhr: K♠8♣

Lim was in the lead this time, but the board ran 3♥10♠7♣J♠K♣ giving Muhr a pair on the river. Hardly warming up his seat, Lim left the tournament for an early day.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Marc Goldman opened to 80,000 under the gun and got called by Sterling Harris to his immediate left. Action folded around to the big blind Naoto Udagawa, who shoved all-in for around 300,000.

Goldman went into the tank calculating how many big blinds he would have left if he called. He ultimately folded his hand. Harris, on the other hand, made the call.

Naoto Udagawa: A♦7♦ All in
Sterling Harris: K♥K♣

All Udagawa needed was an ace to stay alive, but something better came with the flop which dropped 3♦10♦4♣. Harris needed to evade a flush from happening to maintain his lead. But the 5♦ dropped, completing Udagawa's flush and pushing him ahead. The board was completed with a Q♥.

Udagawa scooped the pot for a double to continue his tournament run.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sterling Harris	800,000 50,000	50,000
Naoto Udagawa	600,000 60,000	60,000

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Frederick Mends raised to 120,000 in the hijack seat. Shunsuke Mitsugi then moved all in from the button. Mends instantly made the call when action was back on him.

Shunsuke Mitsugi: A♥J♥ All in
Frederick Mends: 8♣8♦

The flop saw fireworks with Q♣9♥8♥ hitting the board, but unfortunately for Mitsugi, the 3♦ turn and 5♣ river could not help him stave off elimination.

Ishizu Leaves in Disbelief

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Chihhang Wang open-shoved for 525,000 from middle position and got a call from button player Tetsuma Ishizu. Both players headed to showdown and tabled their hands, with Ishizu at risk.

Tetsuma Ishizu: K♠K♦ All in
Chihhang Wang: K♣Q♥

Ishizu liked his odds when he saw Wang's hand. Almost assured with a double up, the flop came 10♣3♥4♠. Wang was shaking his head as he watched the deal. The turn J♥ and somewhat new hope came into Wang who quietly called an ace to drop. To Wang's surprise, the A♣ did come leaving Ishizu shocked.

Ishizu stood up and picked up his bags but stayed longer still in disbelief as the dealer pushed the pot to Wang and collected the board for the next hand.
