Hoang burns two Time Banks cards vs. Zheng

Level 16: 3,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Anshu Zheng

Chip leader Zheng Anshu of China continues wielding his mighty stack as he opens from the HJ for 12,000. The blinds call him.

The flop is T♣ 2♠ 4♣ as the blinds check it back to the raiser who continues firing for 22,000. Vietnam’s Hoang Hai Nam calls from the SB as the BB folds. It is heads up to the that produces the J♦ . Suddenly, Zheng goes all-in and puts the Vietnamese legend in the tank. Hoang squirms in his seat so long that the dealer takes two of his precious Time Bank cards. Hoang ultimately decides to fold, but not before taking a serious dent to his stack which is just barely above the 100,000 mark.

Zheng busts two, claims chip-lead

Level 14: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000

Anshu Zheng

The action is folded to the CO of Haile Rafik Kuo of Canada and he goes all-in for 35,500. Right beside him on the D, Vietnam’s Quynh Thuy declares she is all-in for 143,500. In the BB, Zheng Anshu covers them both and decides to make the call.

Kuo turns over A♦ 6♥ while Quynh shows Q♠ Q♣ . Zheng tables A♣ K♥ .

The flop gives the lead to Zheng: 7♣ 8♣ K♦ and there was no help in sight for the players behind as the 2♥ and the 7♦ completed the runout.

Quynh, who already has two podium finishes in the three events she’s joined was a surprise elimination to many still in contention. Now she is out of the competition along with Kuo.

Zheng now nears the half-million mark and is the de facto overall chip-leader.
