Blinds have climbed for the turbo Day 1C flight of the Poker King Cup Main Event and two more players have jumped in, bringing the total number of entries up to 59. It is partway through level 9 and blinds are 400/800 with an 800 running ante and this is the last level for registration.

While the tournament clock currently reads 50 players in the running, that number has just dropped by one with the elimination of Graeme Siow, who does not look like he'll be reentering, though there is still 15-minutes before the end of the level, so that might change.

We picked up the action on a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades} just as Siow (big blind) moved in for his last 12,000 in chips, eliciting a quick call from his opponent in the hand, Deng Dan Kai.

Graeme Siow: {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Deng Dan Kai: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

Siow's top pair was leading and he held a blocker to Kai's nut flush draw and while the {q-Spades} was a safe turn card, the {j-Hearts} river saw Kai hit the nuts to send Siow to the rail.

One table over, China's Chunsan Fan was also in the process of thinning the field by one, battling from the button in a hand versus a similarly stacked player in the small blind.

It was Fan who was the instigator, opening the action with a raise to 4,200 with the player in the small blind moving all-in for 25,400 in total. Fan did not take long to stick the rest of his chips in, rolling over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}, which was ahead of his opponent's {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

The {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} runout was a good one for the overpair, with Fan stacking up to a little over 60,000 after the hand while his opponent headed for the rail.
