Warm Up Mystery Bounty (12,000 NTD)

Jacob Yin opened utg+1 and called off for his entire 128,000 after Chen Jui behind moved all-in.

At risk, Yin instantly gained the advantage, having spiked top pair on ace high board A♥ 4♥ 5♣ K♠ 6♦ to take the win.

Jacob Yin shoved 71,000 on the button and was looked up by Chen Jui on the big blind.

Up for a race, board 5♣ 3♠ J♥ 7♠ T♣ missed to connect with either player, leaving Yin's ace-high enough for the win.

Chi Jen Chen open shoved 36,500, followed by another all-in from Tang Ngong behind. Chen Jui on the small blind joined in, pushing his entire 78,000 in the middle.

Running as the underdog, Ngong was in luck to find three hearts on board 9♥ 3♥ 3♠ Q♥ 7♣ to ship it all, leaving both opponents empty handed.

Chen Po Jui opened to 25,000 utg+1 and called Chienyu Lin's all-in behind for 64,000 total.

In for a flip, Lin survived through after board 4♠ 8♥ 2♥ 8♦ 3♣ missed to pair up her opponent's overcards.

Facing a late position open and a call, David Erquiaga moved all-in on the small blind and was called by Chen Po Jui for his entire 231,500.

Drawing slim, Erquiaga forked over the lead to Jui along with over half his stack as board ran 5♥ K♠ 2♣ 5♣ 8♥ .

Chen Jui flicked in his last 20,000 utg, called by a player on the cutoff. Won Bae on the button, sent out a raise to 60,000 and successfully isolated the short stack battle to showdown.

Up against the best starting hand in poker, Chen headed out two places shy of the money shortly after board 7♦ 8♥ K♣ 7♥ 3♣ landed on the felt.

Facing a late position open and a call, Yuting Chen on the big blind raised all-in for 138,000 and was challenged by initial raiser Chen Jui.

Ahead with a pair, Yuting Chen cruised to victory as board ran 7♦ Q♣ 3♥ 8♣ 8♠ , crippling Chen Jui in the process.

An all-in preflop situation saw Chen Jui at risk for his 57,500 stack against Liang Yeh on the big blind.

Board A♥ 5♠ 9♦ A♦ 2♦ missed to pair either player, leaving Chen's queen high good for the take down.

A three way all-in preflop situation ensued with Chao Xiang Po covering both Chen Jui's 61,500 and Chia Tsai's 77,500 stacks.

At risk, Tsai secured the crucial win after his pocket pair held on board T♦ 6♥ 2♠ 4♠ 4♥ .

A pile of 73,000 was already in the middle as board 3♠ 6♦ 7♥ T♠ T♣ was spread out on the felt. Chien Lee moved all-in for 79,000, sending Chen Jui deep in the tank. Jui eventually paid the price with K♥ 6♥ , yet was crushed as Lee revealed A♦ A♣ for the win.

Chen Po Jui defended his big blind against Chao Xiang Po's early open, and went on to check call two streets - 4,000 and 13,500, on board 4♦ 3♠ Q♠ 5♠ . On river 4♣ , Chen eventually decided to opt out as Chao launched a final 41,000.

Player on the cutoff open jammed 28,000 in with 5♥ 5♣ , and saw Chen Jui make the call on the big blind with K♠ T♠ . Running a flip, the pocket pair continued to hold on board Q♦ 9♣ 6♠ 2♦ up until the river J♠ filled up Jui's straight for the win.
