Giam Jian Hui out in 16th for PhP260,000 (~US$4,498)

Level 23: 10,000 / 25,000 ante: 25,000
Giam Jian Hui - 16th place - PhP260,000 (~US$4,498)

In dire need of a double up, Singapore's Giam Jian Hui goes all-in for his remaining stack of 275,000 from the +2 position. The action is folded to the SB where Filipino Sergius Santos--apparently still miffed over his recent loss--makes the call.

Sergius Santos won the pot with Qs 9s

Santos' demeanor quickly changed from glum to upbeat after getting trip queens of his own leading to a full house to put him back over the one million mark.

Joshua Tjan won the pot with Ac Ah

The T appearing on the turn was a sweat card for the Malaysian but in the end his aces hold for a much needed double up while Yoshimiya's stack is now on the respirator.

Jian Hui Giam forces Shen Xianchao out of pot

Level 16: 2,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000
Jian Hui Giam

Min Ji Hyun of Korea opens the action from the CO for 10,000 and gets two callers in China's Shen Zianchao in the SB and Singapore's Jian Hui Giam in the BB.


The flop comes 7 K J as all check. The turn is the Q and Shen leads out for 18,000 but gets raised to 45,000 by Jian as Min, the original raiser, folds. Shen takes his time and consumes three Time Bank cards in making his decision and ultimately folds.
