Chung Doubles Through Perry

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Five ways to the A108 flop with 3,500 each invested, the action was checked to Sean Perry and he bet 6,000 with the 108 for bottom two pair. Valentyn Shabelnyk folded the 66 while Christian Chung raised to 19,000. Clifford Mills folded the 97 from the small blind and Srikanth Koneru got rid of the QJ as well.

Perry reluctantly called and then checked the 5 on the turn. Chung bet 30,000 with 36,000 behind and Perry check-jammed to get instantly called by Chung.

The 9 river changed nothing and Chung earned the double.

Locquet Keeps Adding Chips

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Romain Locquet opened to 2,600 with the A9 and found three callers including Loni Hui with the 1010, as they headed to the K53 flop. The nut flush draw of Locquet prompted his bet of 4,300 and Hui was the only caller, leading to the 3 on the turn. Locquet made it another 21,000 to go and forced out Hui's superior hand.

Ge Is Not Gone Yet

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Over on the main feature table, a small three-bet pot led to the K103 flop on which the tournament life of Zhannan Ge was on the line against Keun Kwak.

Zhannan Ge: AA All in
Keun Kwak: K10

Ge needed an ace, trey or running cards to survive, which he found with the Q turn and Q river.

Time to Chow Down

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The field has been dwindled to just 3,084 players after three levels on Day 2d and those players are about to take a 75-minute dinner break. The cards are expected to be back in the air at approximately 8:15 p.m. local time, so don't be late! Here is a look at some highlights from the last level:

Pandilica Flipped Out by Alvarado

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Carlos Alvarado opened to 2,500 with the 99 and Florin Pandilica jammed the cutoff with the AK for 31,000. The other 99 were folded behind and it folded back to Alvarado, who made the call.

The two over cards for Pandilica failed to connect with the 106227 and that spelled the end for the Romanian.

Strang Out

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up with Fabio Sanchez and Mark Strang in an all-in showdown.

Mark Strang: A10 All in
Fabio Sanchez: AQ

Sanchez had Strang dominated. Nothing changed when the flop came 659. Strang got additional outs for a gutshot straight draw and a flush draw on the turn 7. But the A fell ending his tournament life. He left the table as Sanchez scooped the pot.

Cates Imprisons Kings

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Andrew King opened to 2,600 from middle position and action folded around to Dan Cates in the big blind who three-bet to 10,000 and King called.

The JQK flop saw Cates bet 8,000 and King raise to 25,000. Cates moved all in for around 58,000 and King called.

Dan Cates: 109All in
Andrew King: AK

Cates had flopped a straight and a backdoor flush draw, and King was currently sitting with top pair, with a better straight draw.

Cates waved his wand as the dealer placed the Q turn. Cates secured his double on the 5 river.
