Leng Rivers Two Pair

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Ryan Leng raised to 27,000 from under the gun and Wang Yifei defended his big blind.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and both players checked to the {3-Diamonds} on the turn. Yifei checked again, and Leng bet 30,000. Yifei called.

The river was the {7-Diamonds} and Yifei checked for a third time. Leng thought for a moment and bet 69,000. Yifei cut out some chips and tossed them in the middle to call.

Leng tabled {q-Spades}{7-Spades} for two pair queens and sevens, and Yifei chuckled and mucked his hand while shaking his head.

Conley Doubles, Schnetter Triples, Haydt Eliminated

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

With some short stacks in the field, there was bound to be a lot of action early on. Benjamin Zamani raised to 25,000 from early position and Justin Conley shoved all in for 152,000 directly to his left. Christopher Haydt was in the big blind and moved all in over the top and Zamani folded. Conley held {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and Haydt showed {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Conley doubled through, leaving Haydt with just 61,000.

In the next hand, the action was folded to Ulrich Schnetter on the button who raised all-in for 71,000. Haydt pushed his remaining 61,000 into the middle and Schuyler Thornton called from the big blind.

Schnetter: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Haydt: {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Thornton: {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Schnetter nearly tripled up. Haydt, however, was eliminated and Thornton only took a small hit to his stack.

Not far behind him is Schuyler Thornton with 1,771,000 chips, and Dylan Hortin rounds out the top three with 1,571,000.
