WPT Cambodia Championship ($3,500)

Yoon Kang raises from under the gun, John "Bert" Perry calls, as does Martin Stausholm on the button. Table short stack Jiaxian Pan defends the big blind and they head four ways to the 8♣ 7♥ 2♣ flop. Only Pan check-calls for 60,000 when Stausholm bets.

They check the J♦ turn and Pan jams the river for 200,000 to earn an instant fold from Stausholm.

After a rough time grinding at the previous level John Perry has claimed a good pot to chip up to 66 bigs. The hand sees a board Q♦ 2♣ 4♣ A♥ with small blind Amin Riyazati betting 125,000. Perry calls to take it to the river 3♣ . Following a check, Perry bets 200,000, Riyazati calls then mucks to Perry's 5♣ 6♠ straight.

"I should have gone all-in preflop," Paul Hoefer sighs when he bet-folds the river for nearly half his stack and is left on fewer than 20 big blinds. He then adds it was a three-bet pot on which the board shows A♦ 9♦ 3♥ T♣ K♠ . Hoefer bets 190,000 and Sho Homma jams to force a fold from his table neighbour, with Homma exposing the Q♠ .

In the next hand, Jhon Hendri jams for 171,000 and Homma calls with the 7♠ 7♥. Hendri laughs as he exposes the dominated 2♥ 2♣ , which fails to improve on the Q♦ T♦ 4♦ 4♥ 3♥ board.

A scan of the field during the break turned up nine players with at least 1.3 million in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

A scan of the field during the break turned up 10 players with at least one million in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

John Perry raises from the cutoff, Jiaxian Pan reraises from the small blind, and Perry reraises to 115,000. Pan reraises to 230,000, and Perry six-bets all in for about 785,000.

Pan uses three Time Chips to tank for about two minutes before he folds, and Perry takes the pot.

A scan of the field during the break turned up 14 players with at least 700K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

John Perry raises from under the gun and earns callers in Florencio Campomanes as well as Tam Truong.

On the T♥ 6♦ 3♦ flop, the action checks to Campomanes and he bets 21,000. Truong check-raises to 60,000 with around 80,000 behind. Perry moves all-in and Campomanes sigh-folds, Truong calls.

Perry rolls over the 6♠ 6♣ for middle set and Truong is in rough shape with 3♠ 3♣ for bottom set. Nothing changes with the K♥ A♥ on turn and river to see Perry approach seven figures.

A scan of the field during the break turned up 18 players with at least 600K in chips, creating an unofficial leaderboard:

Just before the end of the level, Jon Kyte raises to 11,000 and reluctantly calls the shove by Thomas Eychenne for 67,500. The French player has a premium hand in J♦ J♠ and Kyte needs to improve with the A♥ 7♣ .

However, there is no threat for Eychenne on the J♥ 9♠ 3♣ 6♠ K♥ board and he survives.

Georgios Skarparis is not as fortunate as he sends his entire stack over to John "Bert" Perry in the very last hand before the third break on Day 2.

Before their table breaks, Marc Joseph tangles with Sho Homma and they create a pot of nearly 150,000 to the 5♣ 4♥ 2♣ 8♥ 9♥ river. Homma checks and Joseph bets 100,000 with only a few chips behind. The snap fold follows and they head different ways soon after.

Several other updated counts can be found below.

Three players put in a little more than 20K into the pot to see a flop of Q♦ J♦ 7♦ , and they all check to the turn, which is the A♦ .

Egidijus Digrys checks from UTG+1, the hijack checks, and John Perry bets 7,000 from the cutoff. Digrys calls, and the hijack folds.

The river card pairs the board with the Q♠ , and both players check. Digrys shows 5♠ 5♦ for a five-high diamond flush, but Perry turns over K♦ K♣ to win the pot with a king-high diamond flush.

Last year's runner-up Joshua McCully from Australia entered not long ago and has not been able yet to run up a profit. He is involved in a heads-up pot with Adrien Berger right now and bets the J♠ 7♠ 4♠ flop for 2,000. Berger check-raises to6,000 and forces out the Aussie.

Also on the table are Peter Kiem, John "Bert" Perry, Kou Vang and Aliaksandr Shylko.
