Day 1
Skrbic Heads Out the Door

Phanlert Sukonthachartnanat opened the cutoff to 9,000 and received two callers, Chanpanya Saifah on the button and Milos Skrbic from the big blind.
Three players read the flop of 3♦ K♠ 9♣ , and Skrbic checked the action to Sukonthachartnanat, who bet 16,000, forcing Saifah to fold. Skrbic then shoved all in for 38,000. Sukonthachartnanat dropped in a call to put his opponent at risk.
Milos Skrbic: 4♦ 3♥
Phanlert Sukonthachartnanat: K♦ J♠
The K♣ landed on the turn, and Sukonthachartnanat’s flopped pair of kings bloomed into trips. The river came T♥ , improving nothing for both players and sealing Skrbic’s elimination.

Nevan Chang Wins Some Chips Back

Nevan Chang who has had a tough day so far, just managed to get a double-up. Chanpanya Saifah opened from early-position and only Nevan Chang in the big-blind called. Saifah continued with a 4,000 bet on T♥ T♦ 9♥ and Chang raised to 13,000. Saifah called and the players saw a 9♣ on the turn. Chang bet again 13,000 and Saifah called.
The river was the 5♦ and Chang jammed his remaining 41,000 all-in. After a few seconds of consideration time, Saifah decided his hand was too strong and the odds were too good to fold.
Nevan Chang: Q♥ T♠
Chanpanya Saifah: 9♦ 7♦
