Abraham Ceesvin open-shoved from the small blind for 2,400,000 and Akira Takasugi defended in the big blind to put his opponent at risk.

Akira Takasugi: J♥ J♦

Takasugi dominated and held the lead throughout the board of 3♥ Q♦ 7♠ 8♥ 3♣ , busting Ceesvin in eleventh place for a payday of TWD 1,252,500 (~USD 38,660).

Kiwanont Sukhum opened the hijack to 2,600,000 with 275,000 chips behind, and Abraham Ceesvin shoved all in for around 4,800,000 on the button. Sukhum then called off his last few chips, putting himself at risk.

Abraham Ceesvin: K♦ Q♦

Kiwanont Sukhum: 4♦ 4♥

Sukhum held the lead on the board of 8♥ 6♦ 7♥ 9♣ 3♥ , locking up a crucial double-up.

Kaihung Hu made it 1,375,000 to go from early position with 25,000 chips behind, and Abraham Ceesvin called in the hijack.

On the flop of 3♣ 6♣ 9♠ , Hu checked to Ceesvin, who fired out 200,000. Hu took out all his time bank cards and waited for around 3 minutes before he tossed his last green chip in the pot.

Kaihung Hu: A♠ Q♣

Abraham Ceesvin: 7♥ 7♣

Ceesvin had the lead with pocket sevens but still needed to fade an ace or queen to bust his opponent.

The dealer revealed a runout of K♠ 5♠ , bringing no help to Hu and sending him out of the field for a payday of TWD 874,500 (~USD 26,990).

Akira Takasugi opened from under the gun to 400,000 and only big blind Marcus Law defended to play.

The flop arrived: 5♠ 2♠ 8♠ and Law check-called Takasugi's bet of 300,000 to open a 3♠ turn.

Check-check and a 5♥ was dealt on the river. Law tapped over to Takasugi who put in 1,000,000. Law folded.

In the next hand, Abraham Ceesvin opened on the button for 450,000. Takasugi defended his big blind. Flop came J♦ 7♦ 4♠

Both checked to see a 8♣ turn. This time, Takasugi led out for 800,000. Ceesvin folded.

For sure there was an open, a three-bet... maybe even a four-bet.

We caught the action with cut-off Lat Man Leong with a bet 875,000 in front of him and big blind Abraham Ceesvin with the all-in arrow sit alongside his 2,390,000 stack.

Leong tanked and used a bit of time bank cards and wondered who discovered that pixie dust could make you fly before folding his hand.

Ceesvin let out a resounding "YES!" as he took down the pot.

Nicholas Go opened the button to 160,000 and Abrahama Ceesvin three-bet to 320,000 from the small blind. Go made the call.

On a flop of T♠ 5♣ Q♠ , Ceesvin fired out 120,000 and Go tagged along.

When the 6♥ hit on the turn, Ceesvin sent another chunky barrel of 1,700,000, sending his opponent into the tank. After around 3 minutes, Go eventually opted to fold.

Ceesvin friendly showed A♥ K♥ , showing his bluff.
