First Break and End of Late Registration Looming

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Level 14 came to an end without any further casualties and the screens show 18 players out of 36 entries remaining. Among those is Danny Tang, who already bought in but will only take a seat after the break. The late registration ends when the cards go back in the air after the 15 minutes away from the tables.

Current chip leaders are Sriharsha Doddapaneni, William Teoh and William Jia. Doddapaneni won a medium-sized pot off Teoh when the latter didn't bluff the 6?5?4?8?3? river with the K?10?, as Doddapaneni won the pot with the J?2?.

Yu Pulls Narrowly Ahead of Ogura

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Picking up the action on the J?5?5?6? turn, Takashi Ogura in an early position and Winfred Yu on the button both invested 45,000 in chips. Ogura then checked the 8? river and Yu made it 110,000 to go. That won the pot uncontested as Ogura sent the cards into the muck.

Yeu Flipped Out by Chen

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Wei Hsiang Yeu
Wei Hsiang Yeu

Gary Thompson opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Fei Chen called in the hijack. Wei Hsiang Yeu then pushed all-in for 240,000 on the button and Thompson folded, Chen quickly called.

Wei Hsiang Yeu: A?10?
Fei Chen: 9?9?

The pocket pair remained ahead all the way on the Q?7?7?7?3? runout and that sent Yeu to the rail for a brief moment, as he re-entered immediately.

Eng Siang Ewe also jumped in and that required a third table to open.

Ewe Doubles; Lee Gets a Shove Through

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Three ways to the Q?9?6? flop, Takashi Ogura checked his option out of the big blind. Wei Hsiang Yeu bet 65,000 from under the gun and Wai Kiat Lee called from the next seat, Ogura came along. The 9? turn was checked to Lee, who jammed for 285,000 and forced two folds.

At the same time on the feature table, the completed board showed 5?5?4?Q?2? and Eng Soon Ewe snap-called when Lester Edoc pushed all-in with the superior stack. Ewe tabled the 8?6? for a flush and doubled for 335,000, as Edoc briefly revealed his 9?8? for a bluff gone wrong.

Kho Knocks Out Ewe

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Eng Soon Ewe
Eng Soon Ewe

Eng Soon Ewe had re-entered right into the same seat and got it in the very first hand for 20 big blinds. Kitson Kho had the same stack size and they were flipping for an average stack.

Eng Soon Ewe: 4?4?
Kitson Kho: A?K?

The A?7?2?3?9? board knocked out Ewe, and he left the table with a grin on the face. Only two minutes later, Ewe returned to the same seat as it's the only open one now across two tables.

Singh Wins a Showdown as Two New Entries Emerge

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ajitpal Singh

With some 400,000 in the middle, the completed board showed J?6?3?3?7? and Ajitpal Singh reluctantly knuckled it down against chip leader William Teoh. His A?J? was the winning hand but he added "I probably make it 100,000, you raise it to 600,000 and I fold," the Singaporean joked.

Kitson Kho then joined the same table before Singh knocked out Eng Soon Ewe. Over on the second table, Wai Kiat Lee sat back down for his second entry of the day.
