Harsh Exit for Lee Against Teoh

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Wai Kiat Lee
Wai Kiat Lee

Several players were on their feet on the feature table as Wai Kiat Lee was all-in against William Teoh.

Lee had just flat-called preflop and check-raised a 10?6?3? flop to then call a push by Teoh. He revealed the A?A? and was up against Teoh with the 8?6?. The 6? turn gave Teoh trips and Lee missed the nut flush draw when the 5? river completed the board.

Thompson Gets a Shove Through

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Paul Fontan Castrillon raised to 40,000 on the button and then folded when Fei Chen three-bet to 500,000 out of the big blind.

Winfred Yu raise-folded against Sriharsha Doddapaneni, who then also raised to 70,000 when Gary Thompson limped. This time, the shorter stack didn't budge as Thompson went over the top and forced out Doddapaneni.

Lee and Yeu Back in the Mix

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Soon after his exit, Wai Kiat Lee opted to re-enter and was joined on the registration desk by Wei Hsiang Yeu, who had been eliminated on Day 1. This brought the field up to 29 entries of which 15 players remain across two tables.

Xingyu Ren

The next preflop shove by Xingyu Ren followed and this time, he was looked up by William Jia from one seat over.

Xingyu Ren: A?2?
William Jia: 9?9?

The J?10?3?5?J? runout provided some equity but no help, as Ren departed from the feature table.

Ewe Doubles Through Ren

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Xingyu Ren once more pushed all-in and this time, Eng Soon Ewe called for the last 170,000 out of the small blind. Ajitpal Singh was rubbing his hands before checking the cards but couldn't call to put two players at risk.

Eng Soon Ewe: Q?Q?
Xingyu Ren: A?4?

The board ran out 7?6?3?2?K? and Ewe doubled. While the short stack survived, the first player to bust was then a surprise. Former big stack Wai Kiat Lee had distributed his chips all over the table and was spotted on his way to the rail.

Picking up the action on the K?K?3?J? turn, Sriharsha Doddapaneni bet 85,000 out of the small blind and Gary Thompson called on the button. The J? river paired the board for the second time and Doddapaneni checked.

Thompson checked it back and then all but grinned when he was shown the A?K? for a full house by Doddapaneni.

Fontan Castrillon Doubles Through Chen

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Paul Fontan Castrillon was the player at risk for a mere 205,000 and flipped for his tournament life, as he tabled the A?K?. Fei Chen had the underpair in 10?10? and couldn't hold on the Q?8?2?K?J? runout, as the Spaniard scored a double.,
