Another player has found the rail. This time an elimination hand started when the action folded around to Jeff Rossiter in the small blind. Having Anson Tsang, the short stack, covered, Rossiter moved all in. Tsang looked down at his cards and called off his last 4.55 million in chips.
Rossiter:
Tsang:
Tsang was slightly ahead, but the flop changed that and with a turn and a river, Rossiter had made a full house and Tsang was eliminated in 7th place for which he receives HK$7,150,000 (US$922,580). The next player to go home will collect HK$8,300,000 (US$1,070,967).
Folded around to Niklas Heinecker on the button and he would move all in for around 12 million. The rest of the players got out of the way and Heinecker picked up the pot.
The next hand would see Igor Kurganov get a walk.
The following action would see play fold around to Zheng Tang on the button and he would raise to 2 million. The blinds got out of the way and Tang scooped up the small pot �C well, big pot really considering the blinds.
We have just our first player at the GDAM final table. Folded around to Igor Kurganov in in the small blind and he would hesitate for just a moment before shoving all in. Pratyush Buddiga was in the big blind and called quickly, putting himself at risk with his last 12 million in chips.
Kurganov:
Buddiga:
The flop was a great one for Kurganov and with a turn and a river, it was all over in 8th place for Buddiga. For that effort Buddiga receives HK$6,000,000 (US$774,193). The next player eliminated will take home HK$7,150,000 (US$922,580).
Hand number four would see the action fold around to Isaac Haxton in the small blind and he would shove all in for 5,675,000. Zheng Tang was in the big blind and opted to make the call.
Haxton:
Tang:
Tang had Haxton well covered and Haxton was looking like he would be our 7th place finisher. However, the board would give Haxton enough to survive and double up.
The second hand of the day saw our first all in. It was Igor Kurganov from the hijack and he jammed for around 18 million. The rest of the table got out of the way and Kurganov added some chips to his stack.
The next hand would see Sorel Mizzi shove the button and Niklas Heinecker and Isaac Haxton folded out of the blinds.
The first hand of the day saw the action fold around to Anson Tsang in the small blind and he tanked before folding. Sorel Mizzi was in the big blind and tabled .
