We're going on break. See you in five minutes.
The three Chinese businessmen are all in the top five in chips. Richard Yong, our current chip leader just walked over to the side table, all smiles to fill in both Phua and Qiang on his good fortune. Word is that the three have plans to hop on a jet tonight, back to Macau, hence the quick structure, but I'm sure they'd gladly stay if these three remain at the top of the counts.
Erik Seidel has moved to the feature table now.
He didn't waste any time in getting involved as he made it 12,500 to go and was called by Richard Yong, on the button and Tony Bloom from early position.
The flop came down .
It was checked to Yong who tossed out 30,000. Bloom folded but Seidel made the call.
The fell on the turn and Seidel check-called Yong's bet of 70,000.
Both players checked the river and Yong tabled , which was no good to Seidel's .
Over at the side table, things are heating up. We caught up with David Benyamine firing out a 31,000 three-bet to take down a pot preflop, and then we saw Trickett open to 10,000, Daniel Cates call, and Eugune Katchalov three-bet to 35,000 getting two quick folds.
Trickett, however would not be deterred and made it 10,000 to go on the very next hand as well, this time getting called by both Wang Qiang and Paul Phua.
The flop came , and Qiang led out for 18,000 from the small blind. and Sam Trickett decided to slide in the whole stack. Phua and Qiang folded instantly.
We were still writing down Tom Dwan's bust out hand when the action fired up again.
Roland de Wolfe moved all in on a flop of and was called by Richard Yong.
When the cards were turned over, de Wolfe showed for a flopped top two, but to his dismay, Yong had flopped the nuts, with his .
The turn, was no help to de Wolfe, nor was the on the river, and just like that the feature table is another player lighter.
Tom Dwan made it 14,000 to go and found a caller in Richard Yong.
The flop came and Dwan tossed out a bet of 27,000. Yong raised it up to 75,000.
In the midst of thinking about his next move, Dwan and Phil Ivey were discussing whether or not they had a bet about something. We couldn't exactly hear about what about. As soon as Dwan was certain that they had a bet, he tossed all his chips in the middle. Yong made the call and the cards were on their backs.
Yong:
Dwan:
"Six outs," Yong said discussing Dwan's outs
The turn brought the and no help to Dwan, and the fell on the river.
As he was walking away, Dwan was trying to confirm with Ivey they had a bet, but the two didn't seem to agree. We're not sure what's going on with their bet, but one thing is for sure, Tom Dwan is no longer in this tournament.
