HomeMike Takayama has eliminated one player with the bullets. Starting the day at 133,200 he adds a few more and still one of the chip leaders
We saw Andrew Nguyen (United States) walk out from the tournament area and apparently was busted out by Jeon Seung Soo (Korea). We are down to 98 players.
Quang Nguyen (Vietnam) opened to 3,200 preflop but saw a re-raise from Dave Fish (Germany) sitting beside him to 6,775. From across the table, Chung Faz Ngeow (Malaysia) stared at both opponents and declared, “all-in” for roughly 37,000.
Nguyen folds, Wuncshcel folds and the Malaysian wins the nice pot to return back to over 40,000– just about his starting stack for Day 2.
Kyung Sik Jung bet quadruple the big blind on a flop of 8♦ Q♥ J♠ and saw that no one was willing to commit their chips this early. He climbs to over 50,000 in chips after this hand.
Eric Sia (Philippines) had nearly a hundred thousand in chips entering Day 2. After a small win in the first few hands today, he’s now over the century mark.
On a board of J♣ 6♣ 6♠ Q♠ J♥, Sia fired 4,000 on the river and found no callers and got the nice pot.
Cards are in the air in a few minutes. We’re starting play at Level 12 (600/1,200/200) today so we’re going to see fast and furious action from the short stacked players who wants that double-up!
