Johansson Doubles Through Oghabian

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

The cards of Milad Oghabian were already in the muck and he paid off the all in of Anton Johansson, who had his cards still tabled with {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}. The board of {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} had given the Swede a full house and Pim van Holsteyn was kind enough to provide the details.

It was the Dutchman that raised on the button and Johansson three-bet in the small blind, which Oghabian in the big blind and van Holsteyn called. Johansson bet the pot on the flop, Oghabian min-raised to 20,000 and van Holsteyn folded before Johansson moved all in. Oghabian called with {Q-}{9-}{X-}{X-} for the nut straight and dodged the flush draw only for his opponent to get there with a runner runner full house.

James Chen
James Chen

With some 18,000 in the middle and the turn showing {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, James Chen was all in for 16,000 and Markus Sturz gave it some thought before making the call.

James Chen: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Markus Sturz: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

The {7-Diamonds} on the river was a blank and Chen was eliminated, re-entered and drew the very same seat again.

Leow Quickly Builds a Stack

Level 4 : 200/400, 0 ante

On the three-way turn of {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}, James Chen bet 3,700 and picked up one call. Ivan Leow was having none of it and raised the pot. Chen got out of the way, as did the cold-caller, and Leow claimed the pot without showdown. Since sitting down not long ago, Leow has quickly made profit in this tournament and has been involved in many hands as per usual.
