Loong busts Yu on river, gains chip-lead

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Loong Yuen Hong

With the action folded to Loong Yuen Hong, he raises it to 4,500 from the D. Yu Lin from Taiwan goes for a 3-bet shove from the BB for his last 67,500. Loong calls.

Yu turns over A♣ K♦ while Loong has an inferior A♥ Q♣ .

The flop appeared safe for Yu: 5♣ 7♣ 5♦ although chop out became available. The turn is the 5♠ and their kickers still play, until the river arrives and it is the Q♥ giving Loong a full house to eliminate Yu.

Loong now has the most chips at this juncture.

THe money bubble now looms.

Dang triples through, Yu drops further

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Dang Anh Duc

Former chip-leader Yu Lin of Taiwan goes for an open shove UTG and gets calls from a player in the HJ and Vietnam’s Dang Anh Duc in the SB for his last 12,000.

Yu shows A♣ 3♠ while the player in the HJ has K♥ Q♠ . Dang has the worst of it with 9♥ 7♥ but has live cards.

The flop immediately gave the Vietnamese player an edge: 6♥ 7♦ 2♣ . The turn seals the deal as the 9♦ appears, rendering Dang’s opponents as drawing dead. The river is the T♦ ensuring a triple up for Dang and the loss busts the player in the HJ out and further reduces Yu’s stack.

Hong takes chip lead from Yu

Level 9: 500 / 1,000 ante: 1,000

Hong Sung Heon

Korea’s Hong Sungheon is in the CO and chip-leader Yu Lin of Taiwan is in the CO on a flop of 4♥ 5♠ 2♠ and with already 13,500 in the middle.

Yu bets 6,000 and Hong over-raises by going all-in for 108,200. Yu makes the call.

Hong turns over 5♣ 4♣ for top two pairs on the flop while Yu shows K♠ Q♠ for the second nut flush draw.

The turn is the 2♥ adding more outs for the Taiwanese player but the river card misses everything as the 8♣ arrives to give the Korean over 200,000 in chips and goes to the top of the leaderboard.

Yu eclipses 100k chip mark, rails Thipthan

Level 8: 400 / 800 ante: 800

Lin Yu

Thailand’s Thanapon Thipthan opens from the CO for 1,600 and gets re-raised by Yu Lin of Taiwan for 6k. Thipthan makes the call.

The flop is Q♥ 6♥ 6♣ as Thipthan leads out for 6,000 and is greeted with a raise all-in from Yu. The Thai players calls for his remaining 13,000.

Yu flips over K♣ K♠ while a disgruntled Thipthan shows Q♣ 9♣.

The turn card provided a sweat as the 9♠ arrived but all that was quelled when the 6♠ showed up on the river to give the Taiwanese player a higher full house and eliminate Thipthan.

The win also pushed Yu above the six-figure chip mark and installs him as the new overall chip-leader.

Yu catches set on river, ousts An

Level 6: 300 / 500 ante: 500

Lin Yu

After a flop of 3♠ A♥ 8♥ was dealt and a pot of 19,000 up for grabs, Taiwan’s Yu Lin went all-in and An Seokyeol of Korea made the call.

When the cards got tabled, Yu showed 5♦ 5♣ while An had A♦ 2♣.

The turn was the 9♦ but the river was the Miracle card for the Taiwanese as the 5♥ appeared to bust An and bring Yu closer to the 80,000 chip mark.
