We are down to the unofficial final table of 10 players. They will play down to the Final 8 then bag up for tomorrow’s last round to the glory.
Short stacked Mei San Ang shoved and split pot with Minh Le but on her next shove, he was there again with the call. She had A♠ 3♠ and Minh with 7♣ 7♥. The board ran 3♦ 5♠ 6♥ 10♠ 9♠ for a winning flush to Mei for a double up to 1.7M.
Battle of the blinds, Gonzva Benjamin raised to 140k and big blind Nikita Luther defended. At the flop 4♣ 4♠ 2♥, Gonzva c-bet 100k and Luther called. On the 2♠ turn no bets arrived for a free look at the river 8♣. Gonzva returned to betting and slid out 250k, Luther tanked then called. Gonzva opened 3♥ pair and won the pot with Luther mucking. Luther down to 1.6M. Average stack is 2.3m.
Three-way with a big pot in the middle, the board showed Q♣ 6♦ A♥ K♠. Action was checked to Nguyen Phu Danh, he bet 200k. Only one called, Quang Nguyen. The river 5♥ Quang checked, Danh bet 450k, and Quang folded after a minute or so. Danh showed his A♣ A♦ full house. Danh climbs to 3.8M.
