The board read when [Removed:163] bet 24,500 into Fung Cheung who was in the cutoff. Cheung moved all in for 109,600 and Sheikh went into the tank for a long time.
Minutes went by, and Sheikh seemed to be close to calling numerous times. He had the amount owed counted out, but eventually he couldn't pull the trigger.
"I folded two pair," Sheikh said as he laid his hand down.
"Good fold," Cheung said as she mucked her cards face down.
"You should know," Scott Seiver started, "That's the same thing she said during the €50,000 in Barcelona. Her cards were accidentally flipped up and she had total air," Seiver smiled as some players started laughing.
Sheikh will never know if he was beat or not, and Cheung added some more chips to her stack. We are just 18 players away from the money.
Daniel Negreanu opened with a raise only to have Timothy Adams three-bet from the next seat over. It folded to chip leader Sergii Baranov who moved out a four-bet. Negreanu got out of the way and Adams pushed out a five-bet. Baranov six-bet all in and Adams called 220,200 for his tournament life.
Baranov:
Adams:
The flop fell and Adams was able to score a huge double up, boosting him to about 450,000 in chips. While Baranov was forced to ship so many chips across the table, he is still the largest stack in the room.
We caught the action on a flop when Christopher Brammer checked from the big blind to Timothy Adams. Adams was in middle position and bet 9,300. Sergii Baranov, the tournament chip leader, raised to 21,000 from the cutoff.
The action was back on Brammer who decided to three-bet to 50,000.
"Crazy hand," Daniel Negreanu said to us as we watched Adams contemplate his move. Negreanu said Adams had raised pre flop and both Baranov and Brammer called. Adams finally kicked it in leaving Baranov with a decision.
"How much you have?" Baranov asked.
"I started the hand with around 250,000," Brammer replied.
"All in!" the Ukrainian announced quickly.
"Only?" Brammer said with a look of disgust on his face.
"No. I said all in!" Baranov said, after which Brammer got the message and quickly folded.
"Why not?" Baranov smiled at Brammer who seemed annoyed.
"Because I had nine-high!" Brammer sighed.
Brammer thought that Baranov said "Only" in a mocking matter when the Brit announced what his stack was. When it was cleared up that Baranov indeed said "all in" Brammer cooled down. Baranov seems to be in full control of Table 9, as he's miles ahead of the rest.
From middle position, Toby Lewis raised to 5,000. Vladimir Troyanovskiy reraised on the button to 12,500, and Lewis called once the action folded back around to him. The flop came down , and Lewis checked. Troyanovskiy fired 12,500, and Lewis folded.
We caught the action with around 40,000 in the pot and a board reading . 2010 World Series of Poker November Niner Joseph Cheong checked to this year's October Niner Jesse Sylvia, who bet 18,500. Cheong made the call and then checked the river.
Sylvia took a solid two minutes before putting out a bet of 37,200, and Cheong took an equal amount of time before folding his hand.
