Level 13: 1,000 / 2,500 ante: 2,500

The turn brings out the 8 and this time it's the Filipino who comes out firing for 10,000. Chen calls.


The river is the T and Drilon puts his opponent all-in with a bet of 60,000. Chen snap called for his remaining 29,000.

Drilon's set sends Struthers to the rail

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

Raising from the +1 position, Filipino veteran Jose Drilon faces an all-in shove from the CO by James Struthers of Australia for 18,100. With a chance to eliminate a player, Drilon makes the call.


Struthers tables K Q while Drilon has 6 6 .


The flop immediately gave Drilon a near insurmountable lead: 6 2 Q for a set against his opponent's top pair.


Needing running cards to win, the 5 on the turn had the Australian drawing dead. The river card of the 8 sealed his fate.
