Wiesler Takes Wang Down

Level 2 : 200/400, 0 ante

Bjorn Wiesler raised to 1,400 from the hijack and Hao Xiang Wang three-bet to 3,100 from the small blind. Will Givens quickly folded his big blind and Wiesler responded with a four-bet to 6,000. Wang shoved for around 20,000 and Wiesler called.

Hao Xiang Wang: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Bjorn Wiesler: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}

The flop came {10-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} to give Wang a pair of jacks and Wiesler the set of fours.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} which meant Wang was now drawing dead and the {9-Spades} was just a formality to complete the board. Wang quickly got up from his chair and had a quick chat with Quan Zhou before leaving the tournament area.

Abdella And Eiler Chop the Pot

Level 2 : 200/400, 0 ante

Vojtech Ruzicka raised to 1,500 from the early position and Ahmed Abdella called on the button. Andreas Eiler three-bet to 7,400 from the big blind for Ruzicka to fold but Abdella to tank-four-bet shove for 48,600. Eiler tanked too and ended up calling.

Ahmed Abdella: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Andreas Eiler: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

They both held ace-king but Abdella had the chance for a flush draw.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} with the seven of hearts in the window for the backdoor flush draw but the {2-Spades} came on the turn to ensure they would chop the pot. The {2-Clubs} on the river was just a formality to complete the board.
