Weng Busts to Chidwick

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Over on the feature table, the UK's Stephen opened the action with a raise to 6,000 from the hi-jack and Malaysia's Beh Kok Weng moved all-in from the cutoff for 56,500. Chidwick made a quick call and the cards went on their backs:

Beh Kok Weng: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Stephen Chidwick: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Beh was the at-risk player, with the dominated hand but received a faint glimmer of hope with chop possibilities on the {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop. The {3-Clubs} turn brought more chop possibilities,

However, Weng's hopes were dashed when the {10-Diamonds} river completed the hand, and his tournament and he hit the rail while Chidwick stacked up to

The flop fell {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Yu checked to Fast, who checked as well. Leow bet 9,000 and Yu check-raised to 25,000.

Yu moved all in over the top with the biggest stack of the trio, and Fast called to create a massive three-way showdown.

Ivan Leow: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Dietrich Fast: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Winfred Yu: {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Sontheimer moved all-in for 50,300 from the small blind with {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and was looked up by big blind Haxton who re-shoved for 169,500 with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and Leng bowed out.

The flop was not good for Sontheimer, coming down {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} but the {q-Hearts} turn saw him briefly take the lead in the hand. Unfortunately for the German, his hopes of a double were dashed on the {8-Hearts} river, which gave Haxton the nut flush and the pot, while Sontheimer hit the rail.
