Wai Kin Yong Pops the Bubble, Ivan Leow Comes Up Short
Wai Kin Yong open-shoved and Ivan Leow called for his 710,000 stack, putting himself at risk of elimination on the bubble.
Ivan Leow: [ackc]
Wai Kin Yong: [9h9d]
The dealer fanned out [9s8d6h] on the flop, giving Yong a set of nines. A [7h] turn smashed Leow with a straight and he needed to dodge to secure a double.
An unfortunate [8s] landed on the river, filling up Yong and his full house sent Leow’s straight out the door as the bubble boy. All players are now guaranteed at least $100,000 for their efforts.

Hand-For-Hand Has Begun
The final nine players will now be playing hand-for-hand until the bubble has popped.
Paul Phua Wakes Up with a Monster
Action folded around to Sam Greenwood who ripped his entire stack into the middle with just Paul Phua left behind. Phua looked down at his cards for about ten seconds and then quickly slammed over aces with a smile as he called for his 1,579,000 stack.
Paul Phua: [asac]
Sam Greenwood: [ahjc]
The dealer fanned out [khqd7d], giving Greenwood a straight draw. An [8h] turn and [7h] was not the runout Greenwood was looking for and Phua scooped in the pot, catapulting him into the lead.

Ivan Leow Shows the Goods to Cary Katz
The flop showed [qsjctd] and there was about 120,000 in the pot. Cary Katz led out for 90,000 and found just one caller in Ivan Leow.
The [qh] landed on the turn, Katz checked to Leow who fired in 275,000 which left him with about 120,000 behind. Katz used three time extension cards on the way to his decision.
Ultimately Katz folded a straight, showing [asks] face-up, sending the pot to Leow who said “Good Bluff!” as he tabled [jsts] for just two pair.

Aaron Van Blarcum Cracks Thai Ha’s Bullets
Aaron Van Blarcum opened to 105,000 and Thai Ha three-bet shoved to 720,000. “I am either racing or you have me dominated,” Said Blarcum as he called.
Thai Ha: [qhqd]
Aaron Van Blarcum: [adac]
The answer was dominated as Ha had the rockets but a [qsjsjh] flop completed destroyed the best hand in poker. A [9h] turn and [8s] river changed nothing and Blarcum pulled in the pot thanks to a flopped lady, sending Ha to the rail.
