Break time

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Players in the Main Event are now on a 15-min break that will last a few min longer as they move the tables from the outer room into the tent.

The Classic Flip with a Twist and a Cold Ending

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action was opened by Quingwei Meng in early position before getting three-bet by Georgees Zero in middle position. It then folded all the way to James Pillon in late position who cold four-bet jammed having both players covered...they both called.

Quingwei Meng: QQ All in
Georgees Zero: AK All in
James Pillon: AK

It was kind of the classic flip but with the twist that two of the players had each others outs. Meng was looking good through the 1035 flop but the dealer then peeled the K turn. Meng was drawing slim and the 8 river wouldn't come. Despite being in prime position for a triple, the other two players would split up his chips. Meng hit the rail just before break.

Tang Bombs the Turn

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ian Tang opened in early position to 6,000 before the action folded to Mayuran Srithara in the cutoff who called and the rest of the players folded.

The 6610 flop landed and Tang continued for 6,000. Srithara called and 3 rolled off on the turn. Tang sat in the tank for about a minute before putting out a chunky bet of 23,000. Srithara then went into a tank of his own but eventually he mucked. Tang scooped after some well time aggression.

Stephan Used the Tried and True Secret Weapon

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Tania Marie Stephan
Tania Marie Stephan

After significant action all the chips made their way into the middle between Tania Marie Stephan in the small blind and Jamie Sequeira in late position. The cards hit their backs with Stephan all in and at risk and she was gonna need some help.

Tania Marie Stephan: AJ All in
Jamie Sequeira: KK

Stephan was being a good sport about being behind but she was already out of her seat and seemed to act as though the loss was a foregone conclusion. The dealer fanned out the 10210 flop and she began to gather her things. The 4 hit the turn and she put on her jacket and grabbed her purse. She was literally walking away when the dealer peeled the miracle A off the top of the deck and the table was sure to let her know.

The old put-on-the-jacket-and-leave-before-the-runout trick has been working for years. Not to worry though, Sequeira would then double back up a few hands later and Stephan would find yet another double a few hands after that.

Ngo Calls It Off

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action was opened in late position by Sean Ngo to 4,000 before getting called in the cutoff and then the action folded to Stuart Taylor in the big blind who moved all in for his last 46,000. Ngo went deep into the tank. He checked the clock and counted his chips multiple times before flicking in a call to put Taylor at risk.

Stuart Taylor: A9 All in
Sean Ngo: 1010

The full board ran out Q6278 and Ngo would scoop and send Taylor to the registration line.

Sequeira Holds for the KO

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

There was an early position limp followed by a raised from middle position by Jamie Sequeira to 6,000. It then folded to Mark Fitzpatrick in the small blind who only took a moment before moving all in for his last 22,500. The original limper went deep into the tank but eventually folded. Sequeira flicked in a call and they were off to a full board with Fitzpatrick all in and at risk.

Mark Fitzpatrick: KQ All in
Jamie Sequeira: A5

The full board ran out J6957 and Sequeira sent Fitzpatrick to the rail. Late registration still remains open so don't count anyone out just yet though.

Bryan Robitaille-Fequet: Q10 All in
