HomeMore shoves by short stacks. Next to get boosted were Dzung Chu, Jiang Yongbo, and Minh Beo. Dzung doubled up with A♥ Q♥ over Anuphad Khong Dechudomkul A♠ J♦ to rise to 210k; Yongbo had a more dramatic board with his 8♦ 8♠ landing a set 6♠ 9♦ 8♣ against Nguyen Van Sang’s Q♠ 10♠. The turn J♠ gave Nguyen the lead with a straight, but the river 6♠ sent Yongbo back up top with a full house. Yongbo doubled up to 220k, Nguyen dropped to 135K.
The third double up was Minh Beo who pushed with J♠ J♣, big blind Macaron Tran tank-called with A♥ J♦, no help for Tran to award the pot to Minh amounting to 190k.
Fist hand bust! Ankit Jajodia raised from utg, cutoff Nguyen Van Trung three-bet, back to Jajodia with a four-bet, Nguyen jammed, and snap-called.
Nguyen K♥ K♠
Jajodia A♣ A♠
And with no two-outer magic on the board, Nguyen busted on the first hand while Jajodia zoomed to 621K.
Shuffle up and deal! Race to the money and a Final 8 seat is underway! Good luck to all!
