An Early Dinner Break
The players have agreed to take a 90-minute dinner break now, which will give the remaining players from Event #8 more time to finish their tournament and then join the Short Deck field. The Short Deck action will continue from 6 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET).
“I Won the Tournament!”
On the three-handed table, Lee Wai Kiat limped, Seth Davies shoved for 94,000, Jason Koon called, and Lee Wai Kiat also joined them to the preflop showdown.
Davies: [Ah8h]
Koon: [JhJd]
Wai Kiat: [9s8s]
The flop came [Ac7hJc].
“That’s a good start,” Koon liked the three community cards.
The rest of the board ran out [Kd] and [Kc] and Koon scooped all chips on the table.
“Yaaay! I won the tournament!” Koon joked. Meanwhile, Davies and Wai Kiat reloaded and they are back at it.
