WE are down to 18 players, that means we are now at two tables. Latest fallout was Wang Wei Han with 6♠ 6♥ that ran into Tobias Peters’s A♥ A♣. Peters is up to 650k.
Sera Ota built up a nice stack of around 700k and most wins were without a showdown. This hand however went the other way. From utg she raised t0 24k and bb Punnat Punsri defended. At the flop 8♦ Q♥ A♠, no bets landed. On the turn J♥, Punsri led for 40k, Ota raised to 84k, Punsri called. On the river 9♦, Punsri slid out 150k, much too much for Ota who folded. Punsri up to 1.45M, Ota down to 515k.
All in preflop, Keon Yong Ma A-K, Eng Loong Choi A♣ 3♣, the board Q♠ 3♥ 2♣ 9♥ 6♠ for a pair to Choi to eliminate Keon before the money. Choi up to 1.25M. We are down to 19 players. Money at 16 places.
Ji Young Kim was on her third shove and won this one too getting very lucky on Kelvin Beattie. Kim A♠ Q♦, Beattie K♥ K♠, the board 3♣ Q♥ Q♣ 2♠ 6♥ for trips. Kim doubled up to 215k, Beattie down to 123k.
We got to the table as Carlos Chang was being paid by Neil Raine. The board was 7♠ 10♦ J♣ 9♦ 6♦, Raine with 8♥ 9♥ straight, Chang K♦ Q♣ higher straight. Chang back up to 540k, Raine slipped to 420k. Both are above average.
