Carsten Klug Sends Vu Hoai Lam To Exit

Vu Hoai Lam and Carsten Klug were faced with a flop of Q♦ 4♠ 9♠ and a pot of 13,000. Lam bet 6,100 and Klug raised all-in. Lam called with his last 21,500 at risk.
Lam showed Q♣ 2♣ for top pair queens versus the K♠ J♠ of Klug, drawing to 15 outs with one over card, a gut shot straight and a flush draw.
The Q♠ turn gave Klug the flush. However, Lam's trips still had a 10-outer chance with another queen or a pair from the board or the hole. The 8♣ on the river wasn't one of them and Lam was sent out of the event... for now.

30 minutesAnother One Busts The Dust

Second bust of the day goes to Le Manh Cuong.
Warwick James Dunnett raised to 300 from the lo-jack. Hijack Ian Modder three-bet re-raised to 1,100 and Le Manh Cuong four-bet re-raised to 5,500 on the button. Only Dunnett continued the challenge to see a flop of K♦ 8♠ 5♠.
Dunnett check-called the 3,500 bet of Cuong to see a 9♦ turn. This time Dunnet's check-call took a while longer, using a time-bank token before making the 8,800 call to open a 5♥ river. Cuong spent two-time banks before deciding to shove all-in for 31,200. Dunnet snap called and showed A♣ K♠ for a pair of kings, winning against the J♣ J♥ of Cuong to eliminate him from the event.

First Bust

Michael Kim Falcon and Lyu Junqiang were all in before the flop with Falcon at ris for his remaining 28,000.
Falcon showed A♦ K♣ against the T♣ T♥ of Junqiang. A coin flip.
The board ran 9♦ Q♦ 3♠ 8♣ T♠ to give Junqiang a set and make Falcon the first casualty of the day. Faclon will most probably re-enter again, so it won't be the last of him.
