Action Underway

The 63 remaining Poker King Cup Main Event players have quickly become 58 with some of the shorter stacks attempting to chip up or bust, with the latter being the result for five of them. There were 30-minutes left to play on level 19 at the start of play and we will be playing down to the 8-handed final table, however long it takes.

Unfortunately, the action has been happening so fast we have not been able to catch any of the early exits so far, though we have seen several players heading toward the cash desk to collect the HK$26,000 on offer for a min-cash.

However, we did catch a few hands involving some of the players still in contention. One of the short-stacks who has survived an all-in confrontation is Bowen Du. We arrived at Du’s table just as stacks were being counted down with the board reading {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

Du had moved his last 35,000 in chips all-in from under-the-gun, with Zheng Zongge making the call but his hand is already in the muck and Du’s mighty {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} is face-up on the table and it appeared his top pair was enough to climb to 90,000 while Zongge dropped to 150,000 after the dust settled.

Linh Tran is making a spirited attempt to chip up and had just three-barrelled Lin Yong to take down a decent sized pot. We picked up the action on a flop of {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades} just as Tran, sitting in late position, fired out a pot-sized bet of 30,000, which both blinds Lin Yong and Liang Fu called.

The {a-Hearts} turn saw both blinds check and Tran fired again for 45,000 with Yong the only caller. The {8-Clubs} river completed the hand and Yong checked it over to Tran for the third time and he continued to tell a believable story and bet out 70,000, which was enough to get Yong to give it up. Tran climbed to 435,000 while Yong dropped to 200,000.
