Liu Pulls in a Nice Pot

Myles Phago

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jie Xu raised from under the gun to 400,000 and found calls from Yu Liu in early position and Justin Fawcett in middle position. Fabio Sanchez in late position then decided to three-bet all in for 3,200,000.

Xu folded, and the action was back on Liu, who went into the tank briefly before he also announced that he was all-in. Fawcett got out of the way quickly.

Fabio Sanchez: 3♠3♥ All in
Yu Liu: 8♣8♦

The flop of 4♥5♦10♦ was a safe one for Liu, but when the A♠ peeled off on the turn, it gave Sanchez wheel outs. The 6♦ brick on the river wasn't one of them, and Sanchez was sent to the cage, leaving Liu to pull in the healthy pot.

"Ouch, what a river," Lai said. "Thought I would double-up and win the championship."

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Jack Duong raised under the gun to 1,960,000 chips, holding back a few chips just to keep hope alive in case of a disaster.

Bruno Desimoni, from the cutoff, was the only caller.

The flop came Q♠2♥9♣ Duong checked. Desimono bet enough to cover Duong's chips. He made the all-in call.

Jack Duong: A♥J♥ All in
Bruno Desimoni: A♠10♠

Duong had the advantage and was looking at a nice double-up. But the river-turn runout brought K♣10♦ pairing Desimoni's ten and bringing a sudden end to Duong's tournament.

Myles Phago

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Rolf Weisshaupt moved all-in from under the gun for 2,490,000, and Hertsel Levy in early position went into the tank before he announced that he was all-in as well and had Weisshaupt covered.

Action folded around to Luis Kamei in the big blind, who then also went into the tank, and the clock was eventually called. Just prior to the time expiring, he made the call for his tournament life.

Rolf Weisshaupt: 10♥10♣ All in
Luis Kamei: 9♦9♣ All in
Hertsel Levy: Q♣Q♠

The flop came A♣K♥5♦, and when the turn brought the J♣, Kamei was drawing dead, but Weisshaupt had straight outs. The river saw the 8♦ drop, and Levy scooped the main and side pots and took out two players in the same hand.
