Tough One For Tsui

Level 22: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Justin Tsui

Kornprut Sriminingmongkolkul opened from the button and Justin Tsui three-bet from the big-blind. The flop came down J♣ T♣ 4♦ and Tsui did not hesitate long and jammed all-in for a bit over pot size, equalling 24,000. The Thai player thought about it for a few seconds before making the call.

Justin Tsui: Q♥ Q♣

Kornprut Sriminingmongkolkul: 9♦ 8♦

The Australian Tsui was in a great spot to double-up early on on Day 2, but after the 6♣ turn came the 7♦ river which gave the Thai player a straight, busting Tsui. The Aussie has re-entered the tournament already.

Snap Call?

Level 10: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Vladimir Litasov

Vladimir Litasov opened the hi-jack with a 2,500 bet which was re-raised by Justin Tsui in small blind for 10,500. Litasov called to a see a flop of 6♠ T♠ 5♣ .

Tsui led out with 8,000 to be called by Litasov. Tsui checked the turn 6♦ allowing Litasov to fire 10,000 whichi Tsui called to keep the action alive.

Another check came from Tsui on the rivered 9♦ , with one of the bigger stacks in the field, Litasov shoved all-in. With only about 54,000 behind and in the last level of the day, Tsui took his time to consider his option. After much thought, Tsui put in his chips for a call slowly as if unsure of his decision.

Justin Tsui: A♥ T♥

Vladimir Litasov: A♠ 2♠

With Tsui hitting the board and the board pairing Tsui got himself a two-pair while Litasov missed his flush draw. Litasov had to make a comment, however and said, "What were you thinking about? Snap-call!"

Tsui's Queen Works

Level 9: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Maxim Sorokin limped in from the small blind and Justin Tsui checked from the big blind to take it into the streets.

On the flop of 6♣ K♣ K♦ , Sorokin bet 1,200 and Tsui called to see the 8♣ fall on the turn, where Sorokin bet 2,500 and Tsui stuck around again.

The river brought the 5♠ . Sorokin kept to his strategy and fired out a bet of 7,500 this time. This didn’t deter Tsui from making the call. Sorokin tabled 7♥ 5♣ for rivered two pair, but it was still not enough to win the hand as his opponent also flipped rivered two pair with Q♣ 5♥ , which shipped the pot Tsui's way.

Level 7: 400 / 800 ante: 800
