Rotholz Busts to Tsai; Jankowski Doubles Through Kim

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ting-Yi Tsai raised to 25,000 and then called the shove by Hal Rotholz for 73,000 from the very next seat after all other players had folded.

Hal Rotholz: K♥10♣
Ting-Yi Tsai: A♠K♦

The kicker problem for Rotholz was never solved on a board of 8♦8♣7♠5♥K♣ as the American was sent to the rail in 27th place.

At the same time over on table three, Lukasz Jankowski four-bet jammed for 295,000 and three-bettor Jin Woo Kim called eventually.

Lukasz Jankowski: K♠K♥
Jin Woo Kim: A♥Q♠

The 8♦7♥6♦Q♥3♠ board brought just one queen and Kim lost more than half of his stack.

Evgenii Nekrasov raised to 27,000 and called the shove by Adrien Tantaro for 170,000 from one seat over.

Adrien Tantaro: J♦J♥
Evgenii Nekrasov: 10♣10♥

The 9♣7♥6♣9♥8♣ board delivered a cruel blow to Tantaro, who sunk back into his chair before slowly heading to the payout desk.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The cards were already on their backs as Junnie Pamplona with the A♣K♦ had Cheng Zhang at risk, who exposed the K♠J♣.

The Q♣10♠5♥ flop gave both players seat draws. However, the 10♥ turn and 2♣ river bricked off for Zhang and the Day 1a chip leader became the 25th place finisher.

All other tables completed their current hand and that brought a four-bet shove by Ting-Yi Tsai, which Kien Tat Heng called for the 238,000 he had at his disposal.

Kien Tat Heng: A♠A♥
Ting-Yi Tsai: K♣K♦

The A♣J♣9♠K♥7♦ board gave both players sets.

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

In the final hand before the blinds went up, Yuhan Liu raised to 25,000 and Ting-Yi Tsai three-bet to 75,000. Liu jammed for nearly 500,000 and Tsai called.

Yuhan Liu: J♥J♣
Ting-Yi Tsai: A♦K♠

"Okay, let's win a big flip," Tsai announced and had it locked up until the A♠K♥3♣A♥ turn with aces full of kings, which made the 3♦ river a formality.

Down to just a handful of big blinds, Jin Woo Kim was all-in and looked up by Bien Mai.

Jin Woo Kim: K♥Q♦
Bien Mai: Q♠9♠

Kim was ahead but that all changed on the 9♥7♥4♠ flop. The A♠ turn took away an out and the K♠ river sealed his fate in 23rd place.

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Ashish Munot limped in and Philip Tan raised to 40,000 for Junnie Pamplona to call, while Munot folded. The 8♥5♠4♥ flop was checked and Pamplona bet 33,000, Tan then raised it up to 103,000 and the call by Pamplona followed.

On the Q♥ river, a fourth heart appeared and Pamplona checked this time. Tan bet 450,000 and that won the pot without any further resistance.

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Bo Jin raised and then called a three-bet by Jimmy Torres in the cutoff, which led them to the J♠7♠4♣ flop. Jin check-called for 80,000 and the K♦ turn was checked.

Jin checked again the 2♠ river and Torres now bet 100,000. That sent Jin into the tank and he eventually paid it off. Torres tabled the A♠J♦ and that won the pot.

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Junnie Pamplona defended the big blind against a raise by Philip Tan and check-called a first bet on the A♥8♦7♦ flop. He checked again the Q♣ turn to call a bet of 111,000 and the 3♠ river was checked.

Pamplona revealed the A♠7♠ for two pair and Tan grinned "nice hand, nice hand" while exposing his A♣K♦.
