WPT Cambodia Championship ($3,500)

"I am a lucky guy," Dominik Nitsche says with a grin after he wins the all-in showdown against Ngoc Ha Nguyen.

She is all-in with the Q♦ T♦ preflop and dominated by Nitsche's K♠ Q♠ .

Two diamonds on the 6♦ 3♣ 2♦ flop provide some hope but the A♠ turn and 3♠ river end Nguyen's run in 27th place.

Limping in from the small blind, Ngoc Ha Nguyen then calls big blind Dominik Nitsche's 75,000 raise. At the flop 4♣ J♣ 2♠ she calls another 130,000 bet from Nitsche then they check the turn 3♦ to see a river 8♣ . Nguyen checks once more, Nitsche pushes, Nguyen tanks then opts to hold on to her remaining chips.

In a limped battle of the blinds, Aurimas Stanevicius leads the J♥ T♦ 5♥ flop for 15,000 and Ngoc Ha Nguyen calls in the big blind. The Lithuanian bets the 7♦ turn for 70,000 and Nguyen folds.

One hand later, Renat Bohdanov opens to 30,000 with Stanevicius on the button and Dominik Nitsche in the big blind calling. The Q♦ 8♥ 5♦ flop is checked to Stanevicius and he bets 37,000 to win the next pot.

Shortly after the elimination of Guy Taylor, Yoon Kang raises to 24,000. Ryan Plant three-bets to 72,000 and everyone including Kang folds.

Daniel Charlton then raises the button to 25,000 and Kang comes along from the big blind. The flop comes A♦ K♦ 9♦ and Kang checks, Charlton bets 18,000 to win the pot.

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

After a flop of K♠ 6♥ 6♦ , Ngoc Ha Nguyen checks from the big blind, and Amin Riyazati checks from middle position.

The turn card is the T♦ , Nguyen bets 45,000, and Riyazati calls.

The river card is the 5♠ , Nguyen bets 100,000, and Riyazati uses a Time Chip to tank for a while before he calls. Nguyen shows A♠ A♦ to win the pot with two pair, aces and sixes, and Riyazati mucks.

Victor Li has taken full command of table 9, entering multiple pots as he muscles with his big stack. The first hand starts with a loss against Thomas Boivin on a board showing J♦ J♠ 9♣ Q♦ 8♥ . They check the river. Li has K♦ Q♣ , Boivin has A♦ T♠ straight.

Three hands later, Li raises 16,000 from cutoff and is called by button Ryan Plant and big blind Jeremy Jehanne. Li continues for 20,000 at the flop 4♥ K♥ 6♥ and only Plant calls. Li fires again on the turn 2♦ for 72,000 and Plant calls. On the river 3♥ , Li shoves and Plant folds.

Now at hijack, Li opens 16,000 again,, cutoff Plant calls, and big blind Ngoc Ha Nguyen joins in. Like previous, Li comes out firing for 20,000 on the flop A♠ 5♠ 2♥ and only Plant continues to the turn 3♠ . Both players check. On the river 9♦ , Li shoves and Plant folds once again.

Konstantin Held raises to 10,000 in the cutoff and Ngoc Ha Nguyen calls in the next seat, the blinds fold. On the K♠ Q♦ T♦ flop and 6♠ turn, both check. Held also checks the A♥ river and reluctantly pays off a bet worth 30,000.

Nguyen tables the J♦ T♣ for broadway and wins the pot.

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.
