Five ways to the A♣10♦8♥ flop with 3,500 each invested, the action was checked to Sean Perry and he bet 6,000 with the 10♥8♣ for bottom two pair. Valentyn Shabelnyk folded the 6♥6♦ while Christian Chung raised to 19,000. Clifford Mills folded the 9♣7♣ from the small blind and Srikanth Koneru got rid of the Q♥J♥ 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.
Romain Locquet opened to 2,600 with the A♦9♥ and found three callers including Loni Hui with the 10♠10♦, as they headed to the K♦5♦3♦ 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.
Over on the main feature table, a small three-bet pot led to the K♠10♠3♦ flop on which the tournament life of Zhannan Ge was on the line against Keun Kwak.
Zhannan Ge: A♦A♣
Keun Kwak: K♣10♣
Ge needed an ace, trey or running cards to survive, which he found with the Q♥ turn and Q♦ river.
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:
Carlos Alvarado opened to 2,500 with the 9♦9♣ and Florin Pandilica jammed the cutoff with the A♣K♠ for 31,000. The other 9♥9♠ were folded behind and it folded back to Alvarado, who made the call.
The two over cards for Pandilica failed to connect with the 10♥6♦2♣2♥7♥ and that spelled the end for the Romanian.
Action was picked up with Fabio Sanchez and Mark Strang in an all-in showdown.
Mark Strang: A♦10♠
Fabio Sanchez: A♠Q♦
Sanchez had Strang dominated. Nothing changed when the flop came 6♦5♦9♠. 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.
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 J♣Q♥K♥ 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: 10♣9♣
Andrew King: A♣K♠
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.
