Ajitpal Singh raised with the J?J? and Danny Tang defended the 4?3? out of the big blind. On a K?9?2? flop, Singh was first to act and bet, forcing out Tang right away.

Tang then limped the small blind with the Q?3? and chip leader Eng Soon Ewe checked the 10?7?. The Q?6?4? flop was checked, as was the A? turn. Tang then bet the 2? river and Ewe folded.

Ogura Jams at the Wrong Time

Level 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Eng Siang Ewe

Eng Soon Ewe raised the A?6? and then saw Takashi Ogura jam out of the small blind into the big blind of Eng Siang Ewe, who happily called with the best of it. The big stack folded and the cards were revealed.

Eng Siang Ewe: A?A?
Takashi Ogura: J?9?

Ewe would have knocked out his brother, who doubled thanks to a Q?10?6?6?3? board. Ogura saw his stack reduced to fumes, and has a mountain to climb.
