We caught a big pot being sent Phan Dinh Nam’s way with Shyh Chyn Lim shaking his head. On a queen high board, Lim bluff bet on the river with J-10 and got called by Nam who hit his small card on the flop K-6.
This sent Lim’s stack down to 162k which he put all in on the next hand. He was called by Benedict Koh. Lim Q♥ 10♣, Koh J♥ 10♦. The board ran A♦ 6♥ 3♣ J♠ 9♥ for a pair to Koh. Lim eliminated.
Nikita Luther raised to 28k and got one caller in Natalie Teh. At the flop 7♦ 10♥ 10♠, Luther c-bet 30k, Teh called. On the 4♠ turn, Luther switched up and checked, Teh reversed as well and slid out 50k, Luther folded.
Hoang Long Do raised to 30k, Minh Le called from the small blind and the flop ran 6♦ A♣ A♦. Minh checked, Long c-bet 30k, Minh raised, Long all in, and a quick call by Minh.
Long A♠ 7♠
Minh A♥ Q♣
The turn 5♥ and river 10♣ ended Long’s run at the Main Event.
