Nguyen The Hung

Nguyen The Hung and Jeon Segye were starting at 27,000 chips beside a board that showed 8 9 K T J. Cutoff Nguyen checked and allowed Jeon to shove all-in.

Nguyen showed 9 9 for a set of nines. Segye showed A 6 for a busted flush draw. Nguyen took down the huge pot.

Another One Busts The Dust

Level 1: 100 / 100
Warwick James Dunnett

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.

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.
