Qiu and Wei Among the Last Casualties

Christian Zetzsche

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Quan Qiu and Ashish Ghosh got it in with suited aces and it was the former at risk over on table one for what appeared to be around 250,000.

Quan Qiu: A♠10♠
Ashish Ghosh: A♣K♣

The 6♥5♥2♣9♥7♠ board missed both players and ace-king high scored the knockout.

Guoliang Wei then got short after doubling Min Woo Kang and was all-in shortly after with A♣9♣, earning a call from Andy Li with the Q♣Q♠. The Q♦J♥J♦ flop all but ended Wei's tournament as he needed running aces. It was all over with the 5♦ turn to make the 5♣ river a formality.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The UK's Grant Gardner had nursed a short stack for an extended period and doubled once to stay afloat. Ultimately, he took another flip and was up against Evgenii Nekrasov.

Grant Gardner: 10♠10♣
Evgenii Nekrasov: A♠K♥

The K♠4♥2♥ flop improved Nekrasov and the 5♥ turn left Gardner with a single out. Instead, the 9♥ river improved Nekrasov to a flush and that reduced the field to the last 39 contenders.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

While Anil Adiani departed in 39th place, there was another all-in and call ongoing over on table seven.

Huu Dung Nguyen got it in for 114,000 with the A♦10♥ and Bo Jin took his chances with the K♥9♣.

The Q♣10♣7♥4♠6♣ board kept Nguyen in the lead all the way as he leaped back out of the danger zone.

Chao-Ting Cheng raised to 20,000 and then called the short-stacked jam by Mauricio Salazar Sanchez on the button for what appeared to be just over 11 blinds.

Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: J♣J♠

No ace or hearts appeared on the Q♦10♦4♦4♠2♦ board and Salazar Sanchez doubled.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Romain Morvan pushed all-in for 115,000 from an early position and Yuhan Liu did so from the button for 227,000. Ting-Yi Tsai in the big blind asked for exact counts and used one time bank to then call.

Romain Morvan: 8♥8♠
Yuhan Liu: 10♠10♣
Ting-Yi Tsai: A♥Q♥

"Off suit I fold," Tsai mentioned and the J♦8♦5♠5♦7♦ board gave Morvan a triple-up while Liu doubled through Tsai for the rest.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In quick succession, Nevan Chang and Pete Chen were sent to the rail from table one and the next all-in showdown featured a short-stacked Romain Morvan, who was up against Yuhan Liu.

Romain Morvan: Q♣J♣
Yuhan Liu: 9♥9♠

The Q♦4♥2♣9♣ turn gave Liu a set while Morvan still had outs with the flush draw.

"Fuck my life," Morvan then concluded when the 6♦ river bricked off.

"Good luck in the next game," Liu responded but Morvan instantly replied with a "I have had enough for this week".

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Seunghun Ko got it in for around 205,000 and Yuhan Liu had him crushed with the superior stack and crushed in chips as well as the cards.

Seunghun Ko: A♦A♣
Yuhan Liu: 9♣9♠

The [120s5s2h] flop and 4♠ turn gave reason to hope for the South Korean but the 5♣ river ended his run.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With plenty of chips into the middle to the J♣6♣3♦5♣7♦ river, Min Woo Kang moved all-in and was snapped off by Jimmy Torres, who revealed the A♣Q♣ for the nuts. Kang mucked his cards and headed to the payout desk.

Moments later, Day 1b chip leader Vishal Ojha was in dire shape with the K♠10♠ as Jin Woo Kim looked him up with the A♦J♠.

The A♣10♥8♣2♠4♦ runout gave both players a piece and Kim had the best of it to knock out the Indian.
