Tsui's Chips Chopped Up

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Ethan Erdeljac, Justin Wong & Justin Tsui
Ethan Erdeljac, Justin Wong & Justin Tsui

Ethan Erdeljac opened to 5,000 from under the gun before Justin Wong slid out a three-bet to 18,000 on his left. Justin Tsui was next to act and he fired a four-bet to 36,000.

Action folded back around to Erdeljac, who moved all in. Wong followed by shoving his larger stack, and Tsui quickly called covering both opponents.

Ethan Erdeljac: AK All in
Justin Wong: AK All in
Justin Tsui: QQ

Tsui's pocket queens were in good shape until the 710K flop gave both opponents top pair. The A turn only improved Erdeljac and Wong, while the 8 river left Tsui behind.

Erdeljac and Wong chopped the main pot, with Wong also taking the side pot and leaving Tsui much shorter.

Oosthuizen Turns a Double

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ehsan Amiri moved all in from the small blind against Belinda Oosthuizen's short stack in the big blind, and the call was made.

Belinda Oosthuizen: 87 All in
Ehsan Amiri: A6

Amiri made two pair on the 655 flop and Oosthuizen stood up and prepared for her exit. She quickly sat back down when the 9 hit the turn, giving Oosthuizen a straight. The 4 river changed nothing, leaving Amiri short while doubling Oosthuizen's stack.
