Phua Tests Peters, More New Entries
We caught Paul Phua and David Peters embroiled in a hand on the river with a mound of chips in the center of the table and the community cards spread .
Phua, sitting in the big blind, had just led out for a rather hefty 180,000 bet to put the US pro to the test as, with 123,100 behind, this has Peters’ covered so if he made the call it would be for his tournament life.
“Re-buy, re-buy,” joked Phua light-heartedly. Peters flashed Phua a grin and threw his hand away leaving the Malaysian to rake in a decent sized pot and climb to 268,000.
The field has now grown to 25 entries, 23 of whom are still in the running with 2016 Triton Super High Roller Philippines champion Wai Kin Yong, Richard Yong, John Juanda, Daniel ‘Jungleman’ Cates and Andrew Robl joining the action.
