38 players remaining. Race to the Final 8 begins!
39 players left which means it is bubble time! Tables are hand for hand. Within the first two hands we’ve seen several shoves and three double ups.
First double up: Pham Minh Tuan 10♠ 10♦ holds against Nam Nguyen’s A♦ K♣ on a low board.
Second double up: Small blind Benjamin Schoepfer all in A♣ 4♠, big blind Sunwoo Hoon called with Q♣ Q♠, the board ran A♠ 5♣ 2♣ 8♣ 7♣ for a double up to Schoepfer.
Third double up: Bubble protected Thomas Lind all in with 10♣ 10♦, big stacked Hue Dang called with A♦ K♣, the board ran low for a double up to Lind.
From utg, Hung Dinh raised, everyone folded to the big blind Alexander Woo who defended. At the flop 4♠ 3♦ 9♠ Woo jammed 7♠ 2♠, Dinh snap called Q♦ Q♣, the turn 10♥ and river 6♦ had no spades to send Woo out of the running.
We are down to 39 players…. it is bubble time!
Catching the action on a turn board 7♣ Q♥ 10♦ 8♦, big stacked Florencio Campomanes bet, Yik Ray Chiu jammed, called by Campomanes.
Chiu 10♣ 10♠ set
Campomanes 9♦ 5♦ flush draw
The river 7♦ awarded both players and with Chiu’s full house better than the flush, he zoomed to around 390k, Campomanes dropped to 300k.
Immediately after Pham Dat railed Tan Keng Yong, two hands later saw another bust at Table 5 with Lester Liang falling to Tom Pham. From the small blind, Liang shoved J♣ 10♦, bb Pham called wiht K♣ 10♠, the flop offered some hope to Liang 9♠ K♦ 8♥ but ultimately didn’t give the straight with the turn 9♥ and river 8♦.
We are down to 40 players. Money just two spots away.
