WPT Cambodia Championship ($3,500)

A short-stacked Mario Fata survives the bubble and then gets it in with jack-ten to find himself up against Dominik Nitsche with the K♦ 6♦ .

Fata has a lot of outs on the Q♣ 9♥ 3♣ flop but bricks the 2♥ turn as well as the 4♣ river.

Max Deveson, also a regular on the South African poker circuit, is likewise no longer in contention. The Brit recalls his bustout hand in which pocket kings get cracked by the pocket tens of Zijing Zhan.

Kunal Patni won a big flip with jacks against the ace-king of Joshua McCully, who busts soon after. In the meanwhile, Konstantin Held emerges from his undercover run and nearly doubles the stack he started with so far, now sitting between Hugues Girard and Ngoc Ha Nguyen. The same table has already lost Joris Michl and Dhaval Mudgal.

In a larger heads-up pot to the A♠ 9♥ 6♥ 9♣ turn with around 130,000 in the middle, Javier Gomez and Max Deveson opt to check. Gomez then bets the 6♣ river for 47,000 and Deveson mulls it over for half a minute before folding.

By the turn board 9♠ 6♠ A♦ 2♦ , with 17,500 in the pot, Eduard Burd bets 8000 that pushes out a player while Max Deveson calls. On the river T♠ , both players check. Deveson shows Q♥ Q♠ , Burd wins the pot with A♣ J♠ .

Shmuel Bechor moves all in from the hijack for 19,500, and Max Deveson calls from the small blind with T♠ T♦ . Bechor turns over A♦ J♥ , and needs to improve to stay alive.

The board comes Q♣ 9♠ 7♥ K♠ 7♣ , and Bechor turns a gutshot straight draw, but improves no further. Deveson wins the pot with his pocket tens to eliminate Bechor.
