Freezeout stage has begun and quickly two players were bumped out. The first was Po Cheng Yang pushing with 6♠ 6♥ and falling to Pete Yen Han Chen’s A♦ 10♥ when a ten showed up on the turn.
Good call by Hsien Hua Chin
Next out was Pan Cheng How. In back-to-back hands, he was chunked down by Hsien Hua Chin on the first one. On a board A♣ 4♣ 4♠ Q♥ and 30.5k in the pot, bb How fired 27k which was more thang Chin’s stack. Bb Chin tanked then reluctantly called for his tournament life while showing K♦ Q♠ second pair. However, it was a good one with How opening up 10♣ 10♠.
Ho Chung Yi cracks aces
Following that hand, How four-bet shoved his 19.4k stack. Initial raiser Siyu Sha gave up his 2200 while Ho Chung Yi called. Yi had K♣ K♠, How A♠ A♥, the board ran 4♦ 9♦ 4♥ 7♣ K♥, aces cracked. How eliminated.
The one hour of late registration has closed! Another 8 entries added to the 74 starting day entries to bring the event to a total of 82. Among the new arrivals were Chan Lok Ming and APT Taiwan 2019 Main Event champion Hong Ze Chi. We will have the official prize pool and payouts shortly. Seven more levels to be played before they bag up here.
Good afternoon players and welcome to Day 2 of the Main Event! We resume at 1pm with the 34 survivors of Day 1A and Day 1B back on. Registration is open for one hour so for those on the sidelines and for those that bust before it closes, jump on in. The pot is currently at around TW$ 2.1 million. Let’s bring that up for a sweeter pot at ITM.
The agenda for today is to play 8 rounds. If we reach the final 8 players then we will stop the game and resume the final table tomorrow. Good luck to all today!
