Frantic Chip Changes Ongoing
As has been the case in most Short Deck high-stakes competitions since it became popular on the live poker circuit, the final stages typically include numerous all-in showdowns in very rapid succession.
The same happened in the last couple of minutes as Ming Hong Teoh and William Teoh were bumped near the top of the leaderboard.
Rene van Krevelen had lost a massive pot and then jammed a shorter stack for Wai Kin Yong in the cutoff as well as Ivan Ermin on the button to call all-in.
Ivan Ermin: 9♥8♥
Wai Kin Yong: A♠K♥
Rene van Krevelen: J♥10♦
Yong hit a full house on the K♠Q♦J♣K♦A♥ board, as he tripled up. Ermin had one bullet left and redeemed it to bust soon after.
Richard Yong then lost his bullets and re-entered, too, while Eng Siang Ewe doubled.
