On a board of 4♣ 3♠ 4♦, Ryo Kanemaru check-called an opponent’s bet of 500 and did the same on the turn 8♥ for 800. On the river 10♠ it was his turn to lead out for 2,100, which was called by the opponent.
Ryo showed 10♦ 4♠ for the full house and his frustrated opponent couldn’t help but muck his hand.
A UTG player opened to 500 pre-flop and found two callers in Ryo Kanemaru and Azusa Maeda both from Japan.
Flop: 2♣ K♥ 7♠
The UTG player once again lead out with 1,100 and both Japanese called. All three checked the turn A♦ and river 6♠ for a three-headed showdown.
Maeda showed 5♦ 7♦ the UTG player mucked while Kanemaru tabled K♠ Q♥– the winning hand for a nice pot.
Having busted out in an earlier level, Michael Falcon rejoined the action and in no time accumulated a big pile of chips against Luke Pangan. Catching the hand only at the turn board of Q♠ 10♠ 7♥ 6♠, Pangan moved all in and when action swung back to Falcon, he made the call. At the showdown, Pangan was behind with his J♣ 9♣ open ended draw versus Falcon’s 7♦ 6♦ two pairs. With the river of 3♠, Pangan totally missed and was booted out of the field.
Johnny Tan landed himself a sweet double up when his Q♠ 10♣ ran trips on a board of 10♠ 3♣ 5♥ 10♦ 8♣.
It was an intense moment at Stevie Moon’s table with a full board showing K♠ Q♦ 6♥ 9♠ 8♥ and a 9000+ pot in the middle. Action was on Moon who debated on whether to call the 2500 bet. He smooth-called and with that, he quickly bagged the pot when his rival mucked. Moon showed his 8♠ for a pair and was happy to take down the pot.
Adam Monaghan just claimed a sizable pot at his table. At the flop of 7♣ K♣ J♦ and a pile of chips amounting to over 10K in the middle, Monaghan bet 3700 which was good enough for the win as his opponent folded.
A player bet a big 4,500 in an already healthy pot on a board of 10♠ 3♣ 5♥ 10♦ and Johnson Tan (Philippines) and Azusa Maeda (Japan) both called to bring the river 8♣
The same bettor announced all-in for over 30,000 covering both Tan and Maeda!
Tan took his time and even goaded his opponent for more info.
“Do you have pocket eights?!”, Tan asked rather pissed-off.
The player offered no words but covered his mouth with his right hand. He even shook his head perhaps trying to throw off Tan.
Tan eventually made the call– for his tournament life– and Maeda got out of the way.
Tan: Q♠ 10♣
Opponent: 6♣ 6♦
Tan’s good read and good call put his stack over 45,000 or so while cutting down the opponent’s stack to just roughly 10,000.
