Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 0/0, 60,000 ante

At the start of the new level, hand-for-hand mode was initiated two spots away from the money and even before that was the case, there was an all-in over on table five.

Kobe applied pressure and Guang Hui Luo called all-in for 175,000 on the button.

Guang Hui Luo: A♠A♣ All in
Kobe: Q♠8♠

The aces had a sweat on the 10♦8♥7♥J♥10♥ board but held up.

Kobe	5,900,000 1,900,000	1,900,000

Ming Zhong Liu raised to 320,000 and Da Seng Sun called. Zong Tao used three time bank extensions in the cutoff and sigh-folded. Liu bet a jack-high flop and won the pot. All three tables now have very cagey slow action as the near bubble action grinds to a halt.

Kobe then jammed in the cutoff and Aori called all-in for 1,590,000 on the button.

Level 17 : Blinds 0/0, 40,000 ante

Kobe continued his open-shoving and found no callers while table three produced a medium-sized pot between Dan Cates and Fei. Xu. They checked down the K♥J♦9♥A♠ turn and 8♣ with Cates tabling the winner in K♦10♠.

Since returning from the break, the imminent bubble has slowed down the action significantly.
