Orpaz No More

Level 13 : Blinds 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Tom Orpaz
Tom Orpaz

Van Sang Nguyen was moved tabled and lost his remaining few big blinds soon after while start-of-the-day chip leader Tom Orpaz was the next to join the rail, never having recovered from several setbacks.

First, Orpaz three-bet all in for 43,000 with pocket fives and Lester Edoc as initial raiser called for his last 41,000 with {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}. The board came {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Edoc paired his queen to leave Orpaz with less than one big blind.

Peter Plater took the rest of it with {a-Spades}{6-Hearts} versus {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Orpaz left the tournament area.

Asmolov Wins a Big Flip

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

After a squeeze to 15,200 by Timofey Asmolov on the button, a big four-bet followed by Linh Tran out of the big blind and Asmolov's all in was called by Tran with the superior stack.

Timofey Asmolov: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Linh Tran: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

Asmolov started celebrating on the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, but had to fear a jack on the {10-Clubs} turn. Instead, a blank {7-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and Asmolov doubled for 118,900.

Lee and Chong Bust; Zhu Doubles

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Alan Lau moved all in and Alex Lee did so for less out of the small blind. Lau tabled {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and Lee was at risk with the {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. The board came {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} and that was it for Lee.

Xingbiao Zhu doubled for 28,800 with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} out of the small blind, as initial raiser Van Sang Nguyen only had {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and the kicker played on the board of {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Right after, Victor Chong also ran out of chips and that reduced the field to thje last 22 hopefuls.

First Break of Day 2

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The first level is done and dusted, and the clock shows 24 players out of a 47-entry strong field remaining. Only those without any chips can enter or re-enter during the upcoming 10-minute level before the registration officially closes when the cards get back in the air.

Virtanen No More

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The first hand Aki Virtanen played on Day 2 would be the last one. He got it in preflop with {A-Clubs}{8-Spades} for his last 31,500 and Tsun Ming Chan looked him up with the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. The board came {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Virtanen was left empty-handed.

Van Sang Nguyen's shove for 24,700 found no call, as Celine Lee folded having initially raised to 4,600.
