Ryan Jerico Platon added another player to his list of busts. His latest victim was Tor Welo who was all in with A♦ K♦ that failed to improve against Platon’s 7♦ 7♠.
Three way all in with Erkan Atmaca shoving, Richard Marquez called, Janno Alvarez shoved, Marquez called.
Atmaca A-K
Marquez J-J
Alvarez 8-8
When the flop ran J-7-6, it looked like a sweep for the big stacked Marquez but with the turn 9 and river 10, Alvarez completed a straight and shipped it. Atmaca busted in the process.
From hijack, David Erquiaga raised to 10.5k, button Lee Chang Hwan three-bet to 28k, after using up two time banks, Erquiaga called. On the flop 4♥ 5♥ A♣, Lee c-bet 20k, Erquiaga check-called. On the turn 2♣, same action. Lee sent out 45k and Erquiaga check-called. On the river 3♥, Erquiaga checked again, Lee jammed with a stack that well covered Erquiaga who tanked.

After the blinds foleded, the flop ran 8♦ 10♦ 2♦, Matsuda c-bet 13k, Valenton called. On the turn 4♥, Matsuda sent out 39k, Valenton stuck with him to bring on the river 7♣.
