Teng Pays Off Lu

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Kah Yew Teng opened to 4,000 from the hijack and found a call from Zijie Lu in the big blind.

On the K♥ 3♦ 9♦ flop, Lu check-called Teng's 5,500 continuation-bet for the players to see the J♥ come on the turn.

The action was checked around and the dealer peeled off the 9♥ as the river. Lu led out for 20,500 and after a short tank Teng made the call. Lu tabled A♦ 9♣ for rivered trips and was sent the pot when Teng mucked his cards.

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Kwang Chung Tan made it 4,000 to play from early position and found a call from Mun Leong Cheong in middle position. Action folded to Muhammed Razeen Rahmathulla in late position, who three-bet to 12,000.

It came back to Tan who four-bet to 35,000, Cheong got out of the way and Rahmathulla five-bet for 43,500. Tan snap-called.

Muhammed Razeen Rahmathulla: Q♦ Q♣

Level 11: 1,000 / 1,500 ante: 1,500

Muhammed Razeen Rahmathulla opened to 3,000 from the hijack and Kok Wei Teoh called from the cutoff. Kok Keong Eng sat on the button and three-bet to 12,000. Ming Fei Wong, who was in the big blind, then went into the tank for a while before he four-bet for 25,500.

Rahmathulla folded as did Teoh, and after a short tank Eng made the call.

Ming Fei Wong: A♣ A♠

Kok Keong Eng: 7♥ 7♣

No lucky seven for Eng on the 6♣ 8♦ T♠ flop, but he did pick up extra outs to crack Wong's bullets. No sickness for Wong on the 8♠ turn nor the 4♣ river and his aces held strong for a double-up and more.

Chee Siang Wong made it 3,000 to play from the cutoff and Jay Yu Ooi sat on the button three-bet for 7,500. Wengang Wang sat in the small blind then four-bet to 17,000.

Wong made the call and the dealer peeled off the flop of 9♣ J♠ T♠.

Wang checked to Wong who bet out for 15,000. Wang thought for a while before he mucked his hand to leave the other two players to it.

Jay Yu Ooi: A♥ 7♦

Wengang Wang: Q♣ T♣

The K♦ came on the turn and made Wang a straight but gave Ooi outs to the higher straight. No miracle on the J♦ river and Ooi was sent to the rail.

Chiu's Stack Soars After Double KO

Level 10: 500 / 1,000 ante: 1,000

A three-way all in was already underway, with Maksym Ryzhko all in for a bit over 25,000 from late position and Adrian Chua all in for a bit over 20,000 from middle position against Kim Wah Chiu, who had both players covered from early position.

Adrian Chua: K♦ Q♣

Maksym Ryzhko: 9♥ 9♣

Kim Wah Chiu: A♦ K♥

Ryzhko was favored of the three, but the 3♣ A♥ 5♦ flop immediately pulled Chiu into a commanding lead after pairing his ace.

Neither the 8♠ turn nor 3♠ river changed anything and Chiu scored a double elimination to claim the pot.

Alex Lee was already all in for a bit under 50,000 from middle position after getting into a preflop raising war with Tin Lam Wong, who had Lee covered on the button.

Alex Lee: K♥ K♠

Tin Lam Wong: A♣ A♥

It was the classic Hold'em cooler, with Lee's Cowboys in need of help against Wong's rockets.

No help came, however, as the 6♣ 6♠ 5♠ 2♦ 6♥ runout missed both players - leaving Wong best for the knockout.

On the 5♣ turn, both players checked to see the J♦ peel off on the river. It was checked down again with Chen tabling Q♠ 6♠ for top pair, which had Ng's A♥ 2♠ crushed and Chen was pushed the pot.

Heads-up on a flop of 5♠ 4♥ 9♠, Linghan Yu checked from the big blind and Joel Loy bet 1,500 from the cutoff. Yu then check-raised to 4,500 and, undeterred, Loy clicked it back for a raise to 7,500. Yu called.

Yu checked on the T♣ turn and Loy continued his aggression with a bet of 11,000. Yu went for a double check-raise and made it 25,000 to go, which Loy called.

The A♦ completed the board and Yu checked. This time, Loy checked behind and Yu showed T♣ T♥ for a turned set.

Loy frustratedly tossed his hand into the muck and Yu was sent the large pot.

On the K♠ turn Chua checked again to Lee, who fired a second barrel of 5,000. Ling folded and Chua called.

The action went check, check on the 4♠ river and Chua tabled Q♥ J♠ for second pair, which was good for the pot when Lee mucked his cards.

Heads-up on a flop of 2♦ T♥ 2♠ with about 15,000 already in the middle, Choon Yap Fam had a bet of 5,000 in front of him on the button and Zhou moved for approximately 25,000 total from early position.

Fam used up a time extension contemplating his decision, but eventually decided to stick in a call to put Zhou at risk.

Eugene Zhou: A♠ T♠

Choon Yap Fam: J♣ J♦

Fam had Zhou on the ropes with his jacks against Zhou's ten, and the 2♥ turn kept Fam in front.

However, the T♣ peeled off on the river - giving the current leader in the Dream Player of the Year race a full house to award him the double up in dramatic fashion.

The action went check, check on the K♠ A♦ 7♦ flop for the players to see the T♥ roll off on the turn.

Yeoh checked to Wang, who bet out for 3,400. Yeoh called and the dealer flipped over the 3♦ as the river.

Yeoh checked it over to Wang once more, who fired out a river bet of 6,000. Yeoh went into the tank and used one time bank before he released his hand to send the pot to Wang with no showdown.

Ryzhko Lightens the Field

Level 3: 100 / 300 ante: 300

Heads-up on a flop of 7♦ 7♣ T♣, Artem Kuznetkov was already all in for his last few thousand in chips from the cutoff against Maksym Ryzhko, who had Kuznetkov covered from under the gun.

Artem Kuznetsov: 5♣ 5♦

Maksym Ryzhko: K♣ K♥

Kuznetsov was crushed by Ryzhko's Cowboys, and neither the 3♥ turn nor A♥ river could bail him out, awarding the knockout to Ryzhko.

Tan Takes it on the River

Level 2: 100 / 200 ante: 200

Jun Yan opened to 500 from the cutoff and was called by Lee Meng Lee in the small blind and Neng Rong Tan in the big blind.

Everyone checked on the 8♥ 6♥ 7♣ flop, but then Tan led out for 600 after being checked to on the Q♣ turn. Both Yan and Lee called.

The 6♦ filled out the board and it was again checked to Tan, who sized up for a bet of 2,300. This time both of his opponents folded, awarding him the pot without a showdown.

Ulanov Cracks Kings to Send Ingham Out

Level 2: 100 / 200 ante: 200

Heads-up on a board of T♣ Q♦ 7♠ 2♦ with over 10,000 already in the middle, Sheldon James Ingham had a bet in front of him from the small blind and Roman Ulanov raised enough to put Ingham all in for a bit over 20,000 total from middle position. Ingham called all in and hands were revealed.

Sheldon James Ingham: K♣ K♠

Roman Ulanov: Q♣ Q♠

"I knew it," Ingham said after seeing Ulanov had flopped a set with his queens.

Ingham was looking for a king only, but no miracle came on the 2♦ river - eliminating Ingham on Level 2 and boosting Ulanov's stack to approximately 75,000.

Pol and Zhang Chip up in a Chop

Level 1: 100 / 100 ante: 100

Chuyi Zhang raised to 300 first to act and was called by Sok Pinard Pol in the small blind and Bransom Lim in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Action checked through on the 8♦ Q♦ 7♠ flop and then Pol led out for 600 on the 9♥ turn. Both Lim and Zhang called.

Pol sized up for a bet of 2,500 on the J♣ river, which got a fold from Lim and a call from Zhang.

Pol showed T♣ 3♣ for a straight and Zhang tabled A♥ T♥ for the same straight, sending half the pot to each.

The field is now up to 44 entrants, with still only one elimination thus far.

Ulanov Chips up; Chiu Out

Level 1: 100 / 100 ante: 100

Three ways on a flop of A♣ J♦ A♥, Dong Chang Ong checked from the small blind and Rolman Ulanov bet 400 from the big blind. Sok Pinard Pol folded from the button and Ong called.

Ong checked again on the T♦ turn and Ulanov barreled 800 into the middle. Ong again called.

The 3♦ completed the board and Ong check-called a hefty 3,000 bet from Ulanov, who tabled T♥ T♠ for a turned full house.

Ong rapped the table and sent his cards into the muck - sending a nice pot Ulanov's way.

At the other table, Barry Tay eliminated Kim Wah Chiu to double his stack and claim the first knockout of the day.

Final Day of Main Event Opening Flights Begins at Noon

With four days of opening flights already played to completion, today marks the final opportunity for players to secure a seat in Event #34: Main Event (MYR 4M GTD). The biggest turnout of the series is expected, with Day 1/K set to kick off at 12 p.m. local time.

Yesterday saw 35 more players lock up seats into Day 2, including the first Dream Bonus qualifier, Shuang Li. After already bagging through Day 1/B, Li returned for Day 1/F and improved his position dramatically, ending the flight with 516,000 chips to take over the overall lead. The first player to qualify for the Dream Bonus, Li has secured a guaranteed MYR 10,000 (~USD 2,500) bonus, plus an additional multiplier based on his chip stack. A total of 67 players have now advanced to Day 2.

Overall Top Ten Chip Leaders (Day 1/A - Day 1/J)

Day 1/K features an MYR 4,800 buy-in (~USD 1,200) and begins at 100/100 blinds with a 100 big-blind ante. Levels will last 40 minutes each, with 15-minute breaks after every three levels for the first two breaks, then after every two levels. There is a scheduled 50-minute dinner break after the completion of level 10 at approximately 7:20 p.m.

Three additional flights will also be available later on, with Day 1/L beginning at 4 p.m., turbo flight Day 1/M starting at 8 p.m., and the hyper-turbo Day 1/N getting underway at 10 p.m. Here's an overview of the remaining Main Event schedule:

Remaining Poker Dream 25 Main Event Schedule

All of the survivors across all starting flights will return on Sunday, August 2 at noon to play down to the final 16. The Day 3 finale will get underway on Monday, August 3 at noon, with the remaining contenders battling it out for the Main Event title.

Today marks the last chance for participants to qualify for the Dream Bonus. Any player who bags a second time will automatically receive a MYR 10,000 (~USD 2,500) bonus, along with a multiplier based on the number of chips secured. Bagging a third time or more increases the bonus to MYR 20,000 (~USD 5,000), with an even larger multiplier applied. Players who qualify multiple times will only carry their largest stack forward to Day 2, while all additional stacks will be removed from play.

With the largest fields of the series expected to take their seats today, Day 1/K promises to deliver plenty of action as a final wave of players punch their ticket into Day 2. For continuing coverage from the floor, be sure to follow the Poker Dream live reporting page.
