Tsang Pulls Further Away

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Anson Tsang raised to 140,000 with the {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} on the button and Jason Gray defended the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} in the big blind. The flop brought {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Gray check-folded to a continuation bet.

In the next hand, Tsang bet the {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop for 140,000 with just king-high. Ilya Bulychev called one barrel and folded the turn.

Soon after, a three-way limped pot was checked through on the {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop and the {6-Spades} followed on the turn. Tsang bet 160,000 with {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for two pair, Gray lay down his {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{3-Spades} on the button.

Anson Tsang raised to 140,000 with the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Quan Zhou called all in for 85,000 with {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Spades}, Jason Gray called with the {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} in the big blind.

The flop came {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Gray checked, Tsang bet 175,000 to isolate successfully with his top set. Zhou needed running straight cards, but it was all over after the {3-Spades} turn to make the {Q-Spades} river a formality. Zhou was eliminated in 4th place and takes home €28,100, which he will most likely invest right away into an entry for the ongoing €25,000 Super High Roller.

Two in a Row for Gray

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Jason Gray and Anson Tsang invested chips preflop, then checked down the flop and turn of a board {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{A-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Gray also checked the river and called a bet of Tsang with {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a flush, Tsang was caught bluffing with the {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}.

Gray won the next three-way hand on the flop and moved back up to more than a million, while Quan Zhou was now left as the far shortest stack with four players remaining.

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Anson Tsang limped in with the {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Ilya Bulychev checked his option with the {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}. They checked the {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} flop and the {2-Hearts} turn was checked by Tsang Bulychev bet 80,000 and Tsang's check-raise to 240,000 won the pot in a battle of the two chip leaders.

Tsang raised to 140,000 first to act soon after with the {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Bulychev flat-called on the button with the {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Quan Zhou in the small blind raised the pot to 620,000 with the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Jason Gray snap-folded in the big blind and Tsang went for it to four-bet to 2,060,000.

Bulychev quickly folded and Zhou, who had half of his stack in already, was sent into the think tank. He was already in a similar spot at the end of day 2 and folded after more than four minutes, this time he did so after three minutes.
