Won Poker Cup

Bob Hung hung on for a very long time before making a move. He finally saw his chance near the end of the Day1D to double his very short stack, hoping to come in healthy for Day2.

We caught Hung go all-in at the button for 67,000. Nguyen Huu Cao Tri at late position called and tabled 7♦ 7♠. A groan came out of Tri when he saw Hung with 8♥ 8♣.

Board came K♣ 2♥ J♦ Q♥ 3♥ giving Hung a much needed reprieve from just hanging on.

Nguyen Huu Cao Tri called the blind after everyone folded to him and Carvey Horng at big blind checked. Flop came 8♠ K♥ 9♠ and Tri bet 5,000 and Horng called. Aggression flipped on a T♣ turn when Horng shot 13,000 to be called by Tri. On the river 2♣, showing weakness by checking, Horng took the opportunity to fire out 38,000 into the pot to push Tri out successfully out of the hand

We came to the table with an all-in from Erik Rozhynskyi all-in at late position on a flop of 6♦ 4♣ K♥ waiting for She Wei Wei to finish considering his move. Exasperated, Wei banged his chips to the middle of the table. Rozhynskyi showed Q♠ Q♣ versus Wei's 8♦ 7♦. Hoping for a redraw, the turn of 3♣ and river of 4♥ didn't improve Wei's hand at all.

In another hand that involved Fan, OneQ raised the pot to 8,000 from middle position to be re-raised by Leroy Fan at hijack to 25,000. Covering his face with his hoody to hide a tell, OneQ tanked a bit before calling the huge raise.

Dealer flopped 8♠ 7♠ T♥ and both players checked. Turn 6♠ got another check from both until the J♣ river where OneQ bet 21,000. Fan called. OneQ showed A♠ J♥ for a pair and Fan mucked.

We didn't get to see the action prior but we got there in time to see Leroy Fan's Q♠ 6♥ versus Chang Huan Bin's A♣ K♠ get blown by a Q♥ 2♣ 4♦ J♦ 8♦ board. And the Bin has been taken out by the Fan.

We get to the table with Nguyen Huu Cao Tri in small bling betting 5,000 on the turn A♥ T♦ 4♠ 9♥. Carvey Horng at big blind flat called the bet. River T♥ got a 17,000 bet from Tri which got called without hesitation by Horng. Tri showed 5♦ 8♦ while Horng wins with 9♠ 2♥.

The board played 5♥ 9♦ T♣ 6♣ when we saw Mok Jo Seng all-in waiting for OneQ to act. OneQ called to show set on the turn with 6♦ 6♠. Unfortunately for Seng, river was a 4♦ ending his tournament at that moment.

We arrived with Leroy Fan all in at late position on a board of 8♠ 5♥ 4♥ 6♦ 7♥ waiting for Lee Sung Hak to decide whether to call or not. Hak called to show T♠ T♦. Fan opened his cards to show the straight at the river with 9♥ 8♥.

Florent Remi was all-in with 90,000 on a flop of 4♥ 2♣ T♣ at small blind waiting for Quoc Khai at the button to make his move. Knowing that this would cripple his stack, Khai took his time to decide to call but called anyway in the anyway int end.

Remi turned over A♥ K♣ while Khai was ahead with &h &c. The turn was 8♣ upholding Khai's pockets. But Remi caught K♥ at the river doubling his stack.

In just 1 and a half levels, Remi has brought his starting stack to about 200,000.

We arrived with Truong Nguyen all-in for 21,000 against Sega Wu Jie for a coin flip of 7♠ 7♦ vs A♦ 9♦, respectively.

Dealer flopped 2♠ 6♥ T♣ 5♥ K♥ bringing Nguyen stack a little more than starting.

Jhon Hendri was all-in at the button preflop waiting for Sega Wu Jie in middle position to act. Jie was taking time to act considering that Dmytro Dmytro Lytvynov, one of the chip leads in the field and who had him covered, was yet to act after him. Finally he made the call, and without taking too much time, so did Lytvynov.

Both players checked the flop of Q♥ K♥ 2♣. Jie bet 12,000 at the turn 5♥ which Lytvynov called. The river 5♦ was checked by both players.

Hendri tabled Q♦ T♦ and cheered when he saw Jie's 6♥ 6♠ and Lytvynov 7♥ 7♣ who won the side pot.

We came to the table with Erik Rozhinskyi all-in preflop waiting on OneQ's action who was relaxed having a massage. Looking like he was enjoying his massage, he waited a bit before making the call.

Rozhinskyi showed Q♣ Qc and OneQ nonchalantly flipped over K♣ 4♣.

The dealer flopped 3♣ 5♥ 6♥ 6♣ 3♥ then pushed the pot towards Rozhinskyi.

While everyone was already walking out for the break we found Leroy Fan on the button raising the flop to 2,400. Ta checked the flop J♥ 8♠ 6♣ to Fan who bet 3,000. Ta called to see A♥ turn. Checking to Fan, Fan bet 7,200 and Ta jammed his stack all-in which got an immediate fold from Fan.

We found Kyle Bao Diep in a hand with Nguyen Manh Hung where the latter bet 4,500 on a flop of A♠ Q♥ 8♣. Diep called to see a 7♠ turn and checked. Hung continued with 10,000 to be slowly called by Diep. The 5♥ river that Diep checked garnered an all-in of 27,000 from Hung. Diep threw a time bank card immediately and for 20 seconds sat stone faced, unmoving. Finally he called leaving 5,000 chips behind, just to discover a set on the flop for Hung with Q♦ Q♣.

We arrived with Jung Woo Oh betting 3,000 on the board of J♦ T♣ Q♦ 5♥. Dang Thanh Luong made the call with only about 13,000 behind. A bet of 5,000 came from OH on the J♣ river which made Luong think long. Luong made the call and Oh showed A♣ 4♠. With a sigh of relief, Luong turned over 9♠ 9♦ hoping for a longer tournament life.

Truong Nguyen raised under the gun for 1,600 which Vikaash Shah called from the button. Small blind Sega Wu Jie 3-bet though with 6,600 making Dmytro Lytvynov and original raiser Nguyen fold to Shah who called.

The remaining players checked all the way to the turn on a board of K♠ 8♣ 5♥ J♦. The J♠ river got a check from Jie and Shah wondering what Jie had slowly placed 6,800 into the pot which Jie called immediately to show Q♦ Q♠.

We arrived at the table with Toi all-in for 14,200 on a flop of 5♥ 9♣ T♦. Mok Jo Seng to his right called as well as Titov Oleg. On a 2♥ turn, Seng bet 30,000 covering Oleg's small stack. Oleg made the call and all 3 players in the hand turned over their cards.

Toi: Q♣ Q♦

Seng: A♠ T♠

Oleg: 9♥ 7♥

The river showed 2♣, giving Toi another chance at tournament life and ending Oleg's.

Crippled after the hand with Mai Bien, we reach the table with an all-in from Song Bu Geun and a call from Fen Dy. Unfortunate for the happy Korean, Geun's pocket 9♣ 9♥ didn't hold up against Dy's Q♣ 5♣ on a board of 5♥ 3♣ 2♦ 2♣ 6♣ which gave Dy a flush for the win.

We arrived at the table with a 18,700 bet from Song Bu Geun at cutoff on a Q♦ T♣ 7♣ flop and action waiting on Mai Bien. Bien went all-in for 38,600. Geun threw in all three of his time cards and asked for a count. He then stood and let out a huge Korean cheer with his hands up as he called the all-in. Bien tabled T♠ T♦ agains Geun's K♦ J♣ for an open ended straight draw. With Geun cheering for his hand to improve, turn revealed a 5♥ then a Q♥ on the river to give Bien a full house.

Flop showed K♣ K♥ 3♣ with a 1,000 bet from Xuan Qiu at small blind, a 3,500 raise from Fen Dy from big blind and action with Jung Woo Oh. Oh called but Qiu 3-bet to 12,500. A♠ Dy was thinking of his action, Oh was already picking up his chips to call. Seeing this Dy got out of the way for Oh to put the chips in the middle.

Qiu checked the turn 2♦ and Oh splashed the pot with 30,00o with chips going towards all directions. Surprised Qiu tanked and threw a time card in with 32,800 behind. Taking too long the dealer asked for another time card which he hesitantly gave then folded.

Upon arriving the board was 9♦ 7♥ Q♣ A♥ 3♦ with a 18,000 bet from Mr Gan and action waiting on Quoc Khai. It took some time for Khai to act but eventually shoved his remaining stack which was only a thousand than Mr. Gan's bet. Even before the dealer could properly spread the chips, Gan mucks his hand to the surprise of both the dealer and Khai. Khai showed A♦ A♠ anyway.

We reached the table with a 4,700 raise from Dmytro Lytvynov at button and Wang Su Chong tanking and staring at Lytvynov trying to get a read. Chong jammed his stack of 18,600 which Lytvynov snap called. Chong held 6♣ 6♥ vs Lytvynov's T♣ T♥. Board went 7♠ 5♠ J♥ Q♥ 2♠ kicking Chong out the door.

Craig Daniel raised the pot with 600 which got called by Wang Su Chong right beside him. Both players checked the flop T♣ A♦ 4♠. Daniel continued with 1,700 on the turn 4♥ and Chong called. On river K♥ Daniel shot 6,700 with an immediate call from Chong. The moment Chong called, however, Daniel mucked and Chong showed K♦ J♠

Sia Soon Lee bet 1,000 after players folded to the button. Do Quang Trinh in small blind called to see a flop J♦ A♦ 7♦. Just taking it easy, Trinh checked for Lee to continue with 500. Trinh continued to just tag along with a call. Trinh and Lee continued their dance in the same way with the latter betting 1,000 on the turn Q♥. Still playing the same song, this time Lee bet 3,500 which got called by Trinh so the former could show K♦ T♣ to win the pot

On the flop of J♠ 4♠ 9♠ Phan Hung Cuong bet the pot 1,000 which got raised by Quan Qiu by 3,000. Cuong called to see another card. Turn came A♥ which Cuong checked. Qui continued the aggression with 6,000 and again Cuong called. Cuong checked the river K♣ and Qui shoved all-in for 17,400. Cuong used his time card early in the game to eventually fold face up with J♣ 8♣. Qui raked the pot without showing.
