Nguyen Thanh Nha has been the shortest stack at his table for some time and with the table now short-handed, it was decreasing much faster. He finally moved all in with A♠ Q♣ and got called by Lien Kang Feng with A♦ 7♠. The board ran 2♠ 8♦ 3♠ J♠ K♠ for a double up however, it didn’t last.
The next hand saw him all in with K♥ Q♦ and Dang Xuan Canh called with A♥ Q♥. Dang dominated the whole ride to the river to send Nguyen out in 11th place.
With that, we are now at the unofficial final table of ten players.
Choong Kian Weng and Tran Duc Phuong seem to always be battling for a pot with each one winning their fair share. Here’s one of those hands….
Choong raised to 50k and big blind Tran defended. At the flop 2♣ Q♠ 2♥, Tran checked, Choong c-bet 50k, and Tran called. On the K♠ turn, both checked. Then on the 3♣ river, Tran led for 77k and Choong called. Tran had Q♦ 6♦ pair but Choong had better K♣ 9♣ for top pair.
Lien Kang Feng
After Lien Kang Feng took a sizable amount of Johaness Hoeld’s stack, he proceeded to eliminate Devesh Thapar to climb up to 1.9M. On fire, Minh Le tried to slow down the charging Lien but got hit instead.
The hand kicked off with Lien raising to 50k from the utg and Le called from the button. At the flop K♠ 10♠ 6♥, Lien bet 60k, and Le flatted. On the 4♣ turn, Lien c-bet 80k and this time Le opted to raise to 200k. Lien called. Then on the river 7♥, Lien checked, Le bet 250k, and Lien called. Le opened Q♥ J♦ missed draw and Lien won it with K♦ 10♥ two pair. Lien over 2.5M.
