Dinner hangover?

Level: 28 Blinds: 25000/50000 Ante: 5000

Level: 27 Blinds: 20000/40000 Ante: 5000

Yosuke raised 80,000 from the button and saw Tran from the small blind re-raise to 210,000. Big blind Truong got out of the way and three-bet shove his final 600,000!

Tran made the call and we have the biggest showdown of the evening here at the Resorts World Manila.

Tran: A 7

Flop Q 3 5 was safe for the Japanese and the turn K and river 4 assures the double up.

How the top 3 stack up thus far

Level: 27 Blinds: 20000/40000 Ante: 5000

The latest count:

Khac Trung Tran – 2,100,000
Sekiya Yosuke – 1,200,000
Thang Truong – 800,000


Protecting BB with a shove

Level: 27 Blinds: 20000/40000 Ante: 5000

Big blind Sekiya Yosuke just shoved again after facing a 100K bet from Tran at the button.

Tran did not want to indulge further and the Japanese, by protecting his big blind, gets the pot.


Chip leader picking his spots

Level: 27 Blinds: 20000/40000 Ante: 5000

The chip leader, Khac Tran is not involved in not too many hands right now. If he is involved, both shorter-stacked players are getting out of the way. He has won three consecutive hands preflop either via a walk, button bet or a re-raise. Tran is now up to around 2.2M again.


Yosuke returns the favor, big double-up off Truong

Level: 27 Blinds: 20000/40000 Ante: 5000

From the small blind, Thang Truong looked to steal the big blind off Sekiya Yosuke moving all in for 1.6M with just 2 6.

Yosuke looked at Truong for a couple of seconds and made the call showing 9 9

Flop 4 5 8 gave Truong a double gut-shot straight draw but poker justice says no bad beat on this one after the turn Q and river K arrived.

Yosuke back to 1.2M while Truong drops to 950,000.


Sekiya not out yet

Level: 26 Blinds: 15000/30000 Ante: 5000

2 consecutive all-ins worth around 500K and the Japanese lives on stealing the blinds and antes. He’s back to roughly 600K again.
