Singh Doubles Through Teoh

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ajitpal Singh
Ajitpal Singh

Ajitpal Singh jammed three hands in a row to build his stack again and then took on William Teoh in the late stages of the level.

Singh had the J?J? and flat-called Teoh's raise to 110,000 with the latter holding 9?9?. The 8?6?6? flop was checked by Singh, who then jammed for 970,000 over a bet worth 250,000.

Teoh reluctantly called and the Q? turn as well as 7? river sent Teoh to a short stack.

Second Break With 12 Players Remaining

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

No major action happened in the last minutes on the outer table.

The last pot was awarded to Takashi Ogura when he raised from under the gun and Danny Tang defended the big blind. They checked all the way to the 9?7?2?4?Q? river, on which no betting action took place either.

Tang announced king-high but mucked when Ogura tabled his K?J?.

The remaining 12 players have been sent on a scheduled 15-minute break, and the final table is approaching rapidly.

Ewe Flips Well With the Mighty Ducks

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Eng Siang Ewe
Eng Siang Ewe

Gary Thompson had chipped up to more than two million while Eng Siang Ewe dropped to fewer than ten blinds. The open-raise to 100,000 by Thompson led to the shove of Ewe on the button for 415,000 and the Irishman sighed before calling.

Eng Siang Ewe: 2?2?
Gary Thompson: A?8?

The deuces prevailed and made a full house on the J?10?5?J?2? board, as Ewe remained in contention.

Doddapaneni Loses Big Pot to Ewe

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Sriharsha Doddapaneni
Sriharsha Doddapaneni

Sriharsha Doddapaneni limped in the K?K? and Eng Soon Ewe raised to 150,000 only for the Indian to limp-raise to 400,000. Ewe called with the A?J? and they checked the K?8?5? flop. After the 7? turn, Doddapaneni check-called for 200,000 and checked again the 4? on the river.

Ewe then bet 600,000 and Doddapaneni tanked for a long time and lost several time bank extensions to then make the crying call. He was shown the nuts and dropped to a very short stack once again. Lester Edoc has also vanished from the same table as the field was reduced to 12 hopefuls.

Edoc on the Ropes After Doubling Doddapaneni

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Over on the feature table, Lester Edoc got it in with the 9?9? only for Sriharsha Doddapaneni to reveal his Q?Q?. The two suits were covered and Doddapaneni stayed ahead all the way on the J?8?4?A?K? board to leave Edoc very short.

Once Upon A Double-Up for Loon

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Having been moved to the outer table to balance the field, Lun Loon was shipped a full double for eight blinds. His A?Q? had missed the board of 10?6?3?3?5? but that was still good enough, as Eng Siang Ewe paid him off to drop just below Loon on the leaderboard.

Ewe Further Increases Lead

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Eng Soon Ewe raised to 100,000 with the K?Q? and received two callers including William Teoh and Sriharsha Doddapaneni with the A?10?. It checked to Ewe on the K?Q?4? flop, and he bet 80,000. Teoh folded and Doddapaneni also let go, as Ewe bumped up his stack even further.

Kho Doubles Through Lee

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Wai Kiat Lee raised it up and then called the shove by Kitson Kho on the outer table for 345,000 on the button.

Kitson Kho: K?Q?
Wai Kiat Lee: A?10?

The J?6?3?4?Q? board gave Kho an unbeatable flush on the turn as he traded spots on the leaderboard with Lee.

Ewe Misses Value From Teoh

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

William Teoh min-raised to 100,000 with the Q?5? and Eng Soon Ewe called with the 10?9? out of the big blind.

The J?8?5? flop saw Ewe check-call for 140,000 and did so again for 310,000 on the Q? turn. The J? river saw Ewe check once more and Teoh's two pair were counterfeited, as he knuckled it back to save a lot of chips.
