Or-Paz and Nee Win Some, Nee Picked Off

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

The number of entrants has risen to 100 though only 85 of these remain in contention with several players, including Pranay Kapoor, on their second bullet already.

While there have been plenty of early exits our timing seems a little off and we keep missing all the bust outs.

One player who does not look like busting anytime soon is Tom Or-Paz, and we arrived in time to see the Israeli win a small pot from Kunal Patni.

Or-Paz was the aggressor in this particular hand, making it 600 to go pre-flop with Patni the only caller in the big blind.

Patni checked the {q-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop over to Or-Paz who tossed out a single 1k blue chip, which was enough to get Patni to give it up.

Malaysia’s Sam Nee has been fairly active and has taken down a few small pots uncontested, though he was picked off recently.

The first was against fellow countryman Ken Thoo, who called Nee’s 800 button raise in from the big blind to take play heads-up to a flop of {q-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Thoo checked, Nee bet 1,075 and took down the hand.

Nee was at it again a couple of hands later, making it 900 to go from the cutoff with a player in the small blind making the call and the flop came down {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

The small blind checked, Nee led for 1,500 and was called and the {3-Spades} hit the turn. This brought checks from both players and after the small blind checked for a third time on the {q-Diamonds} river Nee
