Scott Wins Some off Wong

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

With around 20,000 in the pot, and the flop showing {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, Nicky Wong bet out 8,500 from the small blind, and was called by Andrew Scott in the big blind, as the {A-Clubs} fell on the turn. A quick bet of 18,500 from Wong sent Scott into the tank, before he casually placed out a raise to 39,500. Now it was Wong who’d sit there for a minute, deliberating the call, before finally mucking his hand.

Big Stacks Collide

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

With the flop showing {5-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, Tomaz Yip checked from middle position, before Matt Carter bet out 4,500. Yip reached for some chips, and counted out a raise to 20,500. Carter tanked for a minute, before sliding out his own raise to 41,000 in chips. Yip made the call, as the {Q-Diamonds} came on the turn. Yip then instantly moved all in for 118,500 in chips, as Carter once again went into the tank. He stood up from his chair, and counted his stack several times. In the end, he talked himself out of it, and folded his hand.

“Ok, show me the bluff,” said Carter, re-taking his seat. Yip then exposed the {J-Diamonds} as he rises up to 210,000 in chips, as Carter slips down to 200,000.

Zalac Eliminated by the Man

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

An upset Ivan Zalac just made his way over to the media desk to inform us of how we was suddenly eliminated from the tournament. It came as a shock, as Zalac was sitting behind a stack of around 140,000 in chips not too long ago.

He recalled to us that he opened with a bet from under the gun holding {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, with only David Man making the call from the big blind with his {6-}{4-}. The board came down with two sixes as well as two diamonds, giving both players something to work with. Several bets later and the {10-Diamonds} made its way on the turn. Man bet out, then called a raise from Zalac, as the {4-} completed the board.

All the money then went in on the river, with Zalac’s flush no good against Man’s rivered full-house. The big hand saw Man jump into the chip-lead with 290,000 in chips, as Zalac would be sent to the rail.

Massive Pot for Hong

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

With just under 20,000 in the pot, and the board showing {4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, Saehoon Lee checked from the big blind, before Nan Hong moved all in for 112,200 in chips. The massive shove sent Lee into the tank, and after asking for an exact count from the dealer, he decided to make the call, as both players tabled their cards.

Lee: {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Hong: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Lee made a great call, as his flush was in front of Hong’s turned set of sevens. However, the {10-Diamonds} would produce the worst result for Lee, who’s flush was counterfeited by Hong’s {7-Diamonds}, as his stack was crippled down to 36,000.

The Counterfeit

Level 11 : 900/1,800, 200 ante

The player seated under the gun opened to 4,800 before Michael Mariakis moved all in for his last 24,100 in chips. The original better needed a few minutes to think about his decision, before making the call, as both players tabled their cards.

Mariakis: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

It wasn’t looking good for Mariakis, as the flop and turn fell {8-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts}, but an unlikely {9-Clubs} on the river, brought a delayed cheer from Mariakis, who’s ace played as the best kicker on the double-paired board, to have him move up to 52,000 in chips.
