. Tsang took the lead with a bet on the 
turn for 65,000 and Cates called before the

Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Wai Kin Yong open-shoved from the button and Bryn Kenney asked for a rough count in the big blind, but eventually let go.
One hand later, Koray Aldemir opened the action with a raise to 54,000 from middle position. Kenney moved all in from the small blind for just under 800,000 and Devan Tang in the big blind gave it some thought. "I want to see a flop," he added and folded.
Aldemir folded as well and Tang joked over to him "you always want to see a flop."

Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Not many hands went to a flop as of lately, and Elton Tsang got through with a three-bet shove against Bryn Kenney.
The only hand that even got to a turn was a raise by Dan Cates to 50,000 and a call by Sergio Aido in the big blind. On the 
flop, the duo checked. Aido then also checked the turn before Cates' bet of 50,000 won the pot.
Phil Ivey and Bryn Kenney barely got involved and their stacks have taken a small hit, while Wai Kin Yong remains the shortest stack.

Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Sergio Aido opened to 54,000 and folded to a three-bet by Devan Tang.
Soon after, Koray Aldemir made it 54,000 to go from the cutoff and Elton Tsang three-bet to 125,000 from one seat over. Aldemir was the sole opponent to call and the duo headed to a flop of 
, which was checked through.
On the 
turn, Aldemir checked and Tsang made a delayed continuation bet worth 85,000. Aldemir didn't go anywhere and called, the 
river then went check, check. Aldemir rolled over 
for aces and queens with king kicker, and that won the pot.

Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Hand 1
Elton Tsang raised from late position and picked up a caller in Sergio Aido on the button. The flop came 
and Tsang checked. Aido bet 55,000 and that won the pot.
Hand 2
Koray Aldemir opened to 54,000 and Tsang moved all in for his last 401,000 from one seat over. Aido announced the call in the cutoff and Aldemir asked briefly for Aido's stack before releasing his cards into the muck.
Elton Tsang: 
Sergio Aido:
The 
flop gave Aido more outs to eliminate Tsang, and the 
turn did so, too. However, Tsang dodged all the over cards with a blank 
on the river to double up.

Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
The action started rather innocent with a raise to 54,000 by Koray Aldemir in the hijack and Wai Kin Yong three-bet to 144,000 from two seats over on the button. Aldemir called once the action folded back to him, and the duo saw a flop of 
. Aldemir quickly checked and Yong bet 82,000, which Aldemir called.
On the 
turn, Aldemir again checked very quickly and Yong made it 230,000 to go, which Aldemir called after some consideration.
The river completed the board and a third quick check by Aldemir followed.
"Can I see your stack?" Yong asked and Aldemir had around 890,000 behind. Yong fired a hefty 600,000 and that sent Aldemir into the think tank. Several minutes passes, Aldemir even asked the dealer once how much the bet was while Elton Tsang said "Wai Kin Poker ... Dot Com."
Aldemir eventually called and Yong tapped the table with the words "good call", before rolling over 
. Aldemir turned over 
for ace-king high and that let out several gasps by the other players at the table.

Level 14
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Shortly after taking down a pot to recover chips, Phil Ivey opened to 45,000 from the hijack and the action reached Koray Aldemir on the button. The German three-bet to 110,000 and Ivey stared at the board for some time, then elected to fold.
That was the last hand of the level and Ivey remains the second-shortest stack, ahead of Elton Tsang.

Tang limped in from the small blind and Phil Ivey in the big blind made it 60,000 to go, Tang called. On the 
flop, Tang check-called a bet worth 40,000 before checking again on the turn. Ivey checked behind and the appeared on the river.
Tang checked, Ivey bet 100,000 and was met by a check-raise to 350,000 by Tang. After plenty of consideration, Ivey tossed in the extra chips and Tang rolled over
