Lun Loon
Lun Loon

Lun Loon jammed from under the gun for 950,000 and Fei Chen just flat-called. Chip leader Eng Soon Ewe then pushed all-in out of the big blind and Chen snap-called as the players at the table gasped "woooowww's".

Lun Loon: A?K?
Fei Chen: A?A?
Eng Soon Ewe: K?K?

The K?8?7? flop brought an uproar from the live stream table and several players took out their smart phones to record the rest of the showdown. No case ace came for Chen on the J? turn and 2? river, as the bubble burst to send the final six players in yet another short break to take a group picture.

Danny Tang: 9?9?

The 6?6?2?2?3? runout provided no help to Doddapaneni and the field was reduced to the last eight contenders with six of them being in the money.

Level 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Gary Thompson and Lun Loon
Gary Thompson and Lun Loon

Over on the outer table, Gary Thompson was involved from under the gun and Danny Tang joined him on the button with the flop showing 7?3?3?. Thompson's bet of 240,000 was called by Tang and the same action repeated on the 8? turn for 470,000.

Thompson checked the 9? river and Tang jammed with the covering stack. The Irishman mulled it over and made the call with Q?8?, which secured a large double as Tang had made a power move with the 7?6?.

After an elimination on the feature table, the next all-in showdown took place on the outer table.

Kitson Kho jammed his short stack from the button to get called by Danny Tang in the big blind.

Kitson Kho: K?6?
Danny Tang: A?K?

The Q?J?3?5?J? board failed to improve the local player and that brought the field down to the last 10 contenders.

Fei Chen raised to 130,000 with the 3?3? and William Teoh jammed for 750,000 with the A?3? out of the big blind, which Chen called.

"Anyone have an ace?" Teoh grinned to the other players at the table. There was no help on the J?6?5?K?8? board and Teoh barely returned to the feature table to collect his belongings before leaving again.
