Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ian Bradley opened to 13,000 from under the gun and was called by Santhosh Suvarna in the small blind. In the big blind, Michael Wang squeezed to 60,000 and both opponents called.

Wang continued for 52,000 on the 9♦6♣2♣ flop and only Suvarna called.

On the 2♥ turn, Wang bet 275,000 with just 4,000 behind and Suvarna reluctantly folded.

The next hand, Suvarna opened the button to 13,000 and then called after Michael Wang three-bet to 50,000 from the small blind.

Svarna called a 28,000 bet from Wang on the A♥J♠7♠ flop before the A♦ turn checked through.

The river brought the 10♥ and Wang opted to check again. Suvarna then decided on a 45,000 bet which Wang paid off. Suvarna revealed K♣J♣ which was good to scoop a sizeable pot,

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Choon Tong Siow limped in for 6,000 from under the gun. Action folded around to Kyosuke Nagami who called in the hijack. Byron Kaverman defended the small blind and Boris Kolev completed in the big blind.

Both blinds checked the 10♣7♥7♦ flop to Siow who bet 10,000. Nagami and Kaverman folded quickly and Kolev made the call. Kolev check-called a 16,000 bet on the Q♣ turn before checking once more on the Q♠.

On the now double paired board, Siow moved all in for around 110,000. Kolev went deep into the tank, deploying three time banks. Eventually he flicked in a chip to make the call.

Siow tabled 7♠7♣ for flopped quads and Kolevs hand was sent into the muck.
