Ryan Lashmar

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Wing Po Liu limped in from the button and Kasparas Klezys limped behind in the small blind. Omar Eljach checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came 9♦7♥4♣. Klezys checked, Eljach bet 400,000, Liu called and Klezys folded.

Eljach bet again for 1,600,000 on the 5♠ turn. Once again Liu made the call.

Both players checked the Q♦ river.

"Ace-Five" Eljach told his opponent, showing the A♥5♥ from his hand.

Liu tabled 7♠5♦4♥2♠ for two pair and Eljach mucked.

Anson Tsang opened to 500,000 on the button and Omar Eljach three-bet to 1,700,000 from the small blind. Action folded back to Tsang, who called after a bit of thought.

Eljach bet enough to put Tsang all in for his last 3,000,000 on the 9♦6♣3♥ flop and Tsang called to put himself at risk.

Anson Tsang: J♥10♠9♠2♥
Omar Eljach: A♦K♠8♠4♦

The A♠ turn improved Eljach to a pair of aces and 7♥ river changed nothing — eliminating Tsang in fourth place.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Marco Di Persio raised pot to 700,000 from under the gun and was called by Wing Po Liu in the big blind.

Liu bet enough to put Di Persio all in for his last 400,000 on the 3♦5♦J♦ flop and Di Persio folded.

On the very next hand, action folded around to Liu in the small blind and he raised enough to put Di Persio all in for his remaining stack in the big blind. Di Persio called.

Marco Di Persio: K♦J♣8♣6♣
Wing Po Liu: A♦J♥7♠5♠

The 8♥6♥9♣J♠2♣ runout left Liu best with a straight and Di Persio was eliminated in fifth place.

On the 2♥ river Liu moved all in, covering Di Persio's remaining stack of 1,210,000. This time it was enough to force a fold from Di Persio.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Omar Eljach opened to 400,000 first-to-act and Wing Po Liu announced a pot-sized three-bet to 1,440,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Eljach, who made the call.

Eljach checked to Liu on the Q♠3♣A♠ flop and he went all in for 800,000 total. Eljach looked a bit pained, but stuck in a call to put Liu at risk.

Wing Po Liu: A♦A♣10♣4♠
Omar Eljach: K♣Q♥8♣8♥

Eljach was in rough shape against Liu’s set of aces and the 4♦ turn nor the 9♠ river changed anything — scoring the double up for Liu.

Tsang Making a Comeback

Level 28 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Anson Tsang has doubled (and tripled) up in a series of hands in quick succession to bring his stack all the way to 2,700,000 after being on the brink of elimination.

After tripling up with the short stack in a hand against Marco Di Persio and Wing Po Liu, Tsang opened to 560,000 first-to-act and was called by Omar Eljach in the cutoff.

Tsang shoved for his remaining stack on the 7♦2♦8♦ flop and Eljach called.

Anson Tsang: Q♦J♦8♣5♣
Omar Eljach: K♦K♠10♠8♥

The K♣ turn gave Eljach outs to a full house against Tsang’s flush, but the A♠ river bricked out and Tsang doubled up.

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Anson Tsang opened to 300,000 from the button and Omar Eljach three-bet to 1,020,000 from the small blind. Tsang four-bet to 3,180,000 and Eljach moved all in for 3,335,000. Tsang made the call to put Eljach at risk for the first time since the start of the final table.

Omar Eljach: K♥K♣8♦7♥
Anson Tsang: A♥A♠10♣3♦

Eljach looked to be in dire shape against Tsang's aces until the flop came K♠10♥5♠ giving him top set. Eljach remained ahead on the 6♣ turn and 7♦ river to secure a much-needed double up, getting back some of the chips he had lost earlier while leaving Tsang with a very short stack.
