Chen Doubles Through Huang

posted by Dan

Level 33: Blinds 125K / 250K - Ante 250K

Chi Wing Chen raised to 600,000 on the button and Jung Tu Huang shoved from the big blind. Chen snap-called all in for 2,400,000 total and a showdown was held.

Chi Wing Chen: Q Q

Jung Tu Huang: A J

The Q 6 T flop gave Chen a set of queens, but the 4 turn improved Huang to a flush draw in addition to his gut shot for a real sweat.

However, the 6 river bricked out for Huang and Chen scored a double up.

Peng Lim Ly opened to 500,000 first to act and Shixiang Khoo defended his big blind.

Both players checked on the 2 Q T flop and then Khoo check-called a 700,000 bet from Ly on the 6 turn.

The K completed the board and both players checked.

Khoo showed 8 6 for a pair of sixes and was a bit surprised when Ly revealed Q T for queens-up to claim the pot.

Chen tanked a bit, but eventually thought better of it and laid his hand down.

Yuto Yamaoka Eliminated in 9th Place for TWD 87,100 (~USD 2,790)

Jung Tu Huang made it 500,000 to play from early position, and action folded to Yuto Yamaoka in late position, who four-bet all in for 1,825,000. Huang thought for a short time and made the call.

Yuto Yamaoka: 6 6

Jung Tu Huang: 4 4

All sorts of weird and whacky combinations on the flop that came 7 3 5 and when the 4 peeled off on the turn it gave Huang a set but also made Yamaoka a straight and he was still ahead.

The river had other ideas though and the dealer rolled off the 5 to fill Huang up and send Yamaoka home in ninth spot in a cruel fashion.

Rogerio Wong shoved for his last 1,700,000 on the button and just behind him, Shixiang Khoo also went all in for more. Masatoshi Minowa got out fo the way in the big blind and hands were turned face up.

Rogerio Wong: A T

Shixiang Khoo: A Q

Wong stood up and started shouting, "Ten! Ten!"

However, no ten came on the 5 4 9 8 K runout — leaving Khoo's queen-kicker best to eliminate Wong just short of the final table.

Shixiang Khoo opened to 320,000 from early position and action folded to Man Hei Leung, who shoved from the big blind. Khoo quickly called all in for approximately 2,400,000 and hands were revealed.

Shixiang Khoo: 7 7

Man Hei Leung: K 6

Leung was caught getting frisky with his less-than-premium holding, and the J 9 8 5 9 runout kept Khoo's sevens best to award him the substantial double up.

Chih Hao Hu raised the button to 240,000 and Man Hei Leung three-bet the big blind to 600,000. Hu then ripped in his stack of 2,235,000, and after using a few time banks, Leung called.

Chih Hao Hu: 4 4

Man Hei Leung: J J

Hu was way behind with pocket fours, and the flop of 6 3 A didn't offer much help. Some more outs did arrive for Hu on the 2 turn in the form of a gutshot, but the T river was a brick, ending his run in eleventh.
