Tang Triples Up, Watson Busts for a Third Time

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Danny Tang
Danny Tang

Shortly after being left with a single chip by Michael Soyza, Danny Tang moved all in from under the gun and was called by Juan Pardo and Kahle Burns. Mike Watson shoved for around 90,000 on the button and Pardo to put both players at risk.

Danny Tang: {7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Mike Watson: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Juan Pardo: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

"It would be sick if you win this," a tablemate told Tang heading to the {6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop.

"Good start," Tang replied as he made a pair of sevens. The {7-Clubs} on the turn improved him to trips.

"Hold," he yelled as the {10-Spades} fell on the river. Tang tripled up, while Pardo's queens took out Watson yet again.

Addamo Turns a Set, Soyza Leaves Tang With Crumbs

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Kitson Kho raised to 6,000 from under the gun and received calls by Michael Addamo and big blind Elton Tsang.

The flop came {j-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts} and action checked to Addamo, who bet 7,500. Only Tsang called as they saw the {4-Clubs} come on the turn.

Addamo bet another 25,000 and Tsang called once again. The river came the {5-Spades} and Addamo fired out 58,500 this time. Tsang went into the tank for a few moments before calling, then mucked when Addamo showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for the turned set.

At the same time on an adjacent table, Danny Tang bet 38,000 on a {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades} board and was called by Michael Soyza. The river came the {2-Spades} and Tang bet, leaving himself just a red 500 chip behind, and folded when Soyza shoved all in.

Mateos Doubles Through Greenwood

Level 9 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Lucas Greenwood raised to 6,000 from early position before Adrian Mateos reraised all in for 21,000. Elton Tsang on the button asked Greenwood how much he had behind as he pondered the decision before folding, while Greenwood flicked in a call when action folded back to him.

Adrian Mateos: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Lucas Greenwood: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Mateos had his opponent dominated and took an even bigger lead in the hand as the flop came {10-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades}. The board ran out {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Mateos doubled his short stack.

Sam Greenwood

Michael Soyza raised to 5,500 from under the gun before Sam Greenwood shoved for 36,000 on the button. Kahle Burns in the big blind called and Soyza got out of the way.

Sam Greenwood: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Kahle Burns: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Greenwood was looking for help but didn't get any on the {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn left him drawing dead as Burns made a full house, while the {j-Clubs} on the river was a mere formality as Greenwood was sent to the rail.

Burns Can't Get Rid of Vogelsang

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Christoph Vogelsang raised to 5,500 from early position and was called by Kahle Burns in the cutoff and Stephen Chidwick from the big blind.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and action checked to Burns, who bet 4,000. Chidwick folded, but Vogelsang stuck around to see the {2-Diamonds} on the turn.

Both players checked to the {7-Hearts} river, when Vogelsang checked once again. Burns bet another 18,000 and Vogelsang gave it some thought before throwing in a call.

"Fours," Burns announced, but Vogelsang turned over {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for a pair of kings to take the pot.

Jean-Noel Thorel has re-entered the tournament and taken his old seat at this table, while Patrik Antonius entered on the break.
