Saquing takes out Ono

The short stacks are beginning to dissipate as another all-in preflop ended the run of Japan's Shintaro Ono as Filipino Moses Saquing made a raise from the +2 for 40,000 and got 3-bet all-in by the Japanese player for 280,000. Saquing made the call.
Ono flipped over A♣ 9♥ which was completely dominated by Saquing's A♠ Q♦ .
The run out gave Saquing the lead for good as it went 2♠ 2♦ 8♣ Q♥ K♣ .
Saquing's stack is beginning to dwarf the competition at 1.75 million.

Saquing's set sends Hong packing

Filipino poker veteran Moses Saquing starts the action by raising UTG for 17,000 and as it is folded to the SB, Ryan Ming Hong of Australia re-raises all-in for 152,000. Saquing calls the shove.
Hong turns over K♦ Q♦ and is in a race situation against the Filipino's J♦ J♠ .
The flop is 4♣ 3♣ J♣ giving Saquing a set and rendering the Australian to a zero chance of staying alive unless running clubs happen to force a chop.
The 6♠ on the turn assures that Hong is drawing dead and the meaningless 3♥ on the river busts Hong.
