Easy Come Easy Go for Katz
Four-way to the flop it went, with Sam Greenwood kicking off the calls of 40,000 chips with [Ad9d]. Cary Katz did likewise with [7h7d], Danny Tang with [QsJh] and Robert Flink with [9h8d] both followed suit.
The flop of [JsQhKc] saw all four men check, but the turn [Kh] prompted a bet of 85,000 from Cary Katz, which got four folds.
In the next hand, Katz was dealt pocket tens and again led out to push everyone except Anson Tsang off the pot. Katz c-bet on the [8h9dAd] flop to the tune of 75,000 and Tsang called. The turn [6d] gave Tsang a straight, the ace representing the five, and Tsang’s bet of 130,000 got a call from Katz.
Had the momentum swung? The river of [8c] saw nothing change for Katz, qith Tsang having the better hand, and two checks saw the pot slid over to Tsang.

Flink Flushes Tsang Early
Anson Tsang with the [Tc9c] and Robert Flink holding [Qd6d] went into battle on the river of what had been a fairly slow board of [Jd7c9h9d7d].
Tsang checked his full house on the river, but Flink bet 175,000 and Tsang was put to a very early, yet important, decision. A call from Tsang saw Flink flip over his flush and take the pot, over 350,000 profit in hand #1.
With Sam Soverel currently top of the leaderboard, Flink knows that a win here will see him overtake the American leader.

Cary Katz Makes Second BPO Final Table, Leads £10K Short Deck
A night after Sam Soverel carried the chip lead into his second British Poker Open final table, Cary Katz repeated the feat.
The High Roller of the Year contender made big hand after big hand and bagged the biggest stack heading into Friday’s £10K Short Deck final table. Katz’s 2,900,000 is good for more than double his closest competitor and he’ll look to parlay that advantage into his first Short Deck title.
Anson Tsang is closest to Katz and he came close to making history in this year’s World Series of Poker $10K Short Deck event. The Hong Kong pro finished 3rd, while another Hong Kong King that also advanced won WSOP gold.
Danny Tang took down the $50,000 NLH High Roller to close out the 50th World Series of Poker and he’ll return as the short stack when he tries to win his first High Roller Triple Crown event at the first British Poker Open.
Sam Greenwood and Robert Flink round out the lineup with their second final table appearances. Greenwood finished 5th in Event #3 and Flink finished 3rd in Event #1.
With multiple players securing their second cashes of the series, the Event #4 final table could play a big part in deciding the BPO champion. Watch the final five return to play to a winner live on PokerGO on Friday, with play resuming at 12 PM local time.
The PokerGO live stream will be on a one-hour delay and begins at 8:00 AM ET/5:00 AM PT.

Strange Situation Leaves Tang Crippled
Cary Katz just limped after which Danny Tang raised to 500,000 with 200,000 left behind. The action folded back to Katz who called, thinking Tang was all in, and exposed his cards, [AdAc].
Tang immediately exposed his cards, [AsQd] despite him being not all in just yet. As the dust settled on this hand it was decided that play continued on the flop with Tang having 200,000 chips left.
The flop brought out [AhTs8s] and after throwing in both his time bank cards, Tang folded to leave himself with 200,000 chips. Tang profusely apologized for his actions, as did Katz for exposing his hands and played carried on without any hiccups.

Anson Tsang raised to 130,000 and Cary Katz was his lone customer. The flop brought out [Jh9sJd] and Tsang continued for 140,000 and Katz made it 445,000.
