Jones Rails Chao and Matsuda

Level 8: 500 / 1,000 ante: 1,000
Craig Jones

Korea’s Lee Juyeol opens from UTG and gets called by Japan’s John Matsuda and Craig Jones of England but then Taiwan’s Chao Ting Cheng 3-bets all-in for 12,500. It gets folded back to Lee who opts to fold, but then Matsuda declares he is all-in for over 20,000. Jones still calls.


Chao shows pocket Jacks while Matsuda is behind with pocket Tens . Jones has Ace Queen .


Jones flops an ace and the runout did not help either of his opponents.


Chao and Matsuda are shown the door—for now—and Jones’ stack now rises to way over the century mark with the double kill.

Petit Trumps Three

Level 7: 400 / 800 ante: 800
Rosalie Petit

Lee Juyeol of Korea opens from UTG for 1,600 and gets calls from Japan’s John Matsuda in the hijack, Frenchwoman Rosalie Petit in the cutoff and getting insane odds to join in Zhu He of China in the BB.


The flop goes Q K 8 as it is checked to Petit who bets 1,500 and gets no callers.

Matsuda with Big River Bet Against Petit

Level 5: 200 / 500 ante: 500
John Matsuda

Japan’s John Matsuda is back in action and he raises from the hijack to 1,000 and gets quickly called by Rosalie Petit of France in the cutoff. Everyone else steers clear.


The flop is 6 3 J as Matsuda continues for 1,000 again and again gets called by the Frenchwoman. The turn card is the 9 and the Japanese player now makes it 4,000. Petit still calls. The river is the 6 as Matsuda now goes into the tank. After a while, he unloads 13,400 as Petit now goes into deep thought.


After pondering, Petit opts to fold with her chips still slightly above the starting stack.
