Tang Tian ‘Terry’ Yuan Eliminated in 6th Place (HK$165,000)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Tang Tian Yuan becomes the first paying casualty

As the shortest stack since before the departure of Luo Xi, Tang Tian Yuan has had his work cut out for him just treading water to survive. Down to a little over 10 big blinds, Yuan shoved three times in quick succession to build back up to 15 big blinds before a misstep against Taiwan’s Chung Yuan Yu saw Terry’s tournament come to and end.

Pre-flop it was Chung Yuan Yu who opened the action with a min-raise from under-the-gun plus one and Yuan tossed in the extras to take play heads-up to the {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop.

Yuan checked it over to Yu, who continuation bet 30,000. It did not take Yuan long to move all-in for his last 140,000 and he was called instantly by Yu.

Tang Tian Yuan: {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Chung Yuan Yu: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

While Yuan had hit a piece of the flop he was still trailing to Yu’s pocket queens and with the board already paired he would need to hit one of the deck’s two remaining nines to survive, plus if he hit he would have to fade the deck’s two remaining queens.

In short, it did not look good and the {3-Diamonds} turn was of no help. While the {j-Hearts} river looked like it should be helpful, Yu had a higher two pair and edged into the chip lead as Yuan headed for the cash desk to collect his HK$165,000.
