Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

The action is coming to the boil now and we have witnessed several competitors play big pots for their tournament lives �C and at least for 50 percent of them, it all worked out.

Poker being a zero-sum game means that when someone wins, someone loses and the winner and loser in this particular case was Chih Wen Chen and Luo Jing respectively.

It was Chen who was the initial aggressor in this particular hand, making it 2,500 to go from early position and Jing moved all-in over the top for close to his 15,000 starting stack. Chen called quickly and the cards were turned over.

Chih Wen Chen:
Luo Jing:

The board ran out to see Chen win the classic race and bink a set and while Jing paired his king it was not enough and he hit the rail while Chen stacked up to 35,000.

We arrived at Yuefeng Pan��s table shortly afterward in time to see another big all-in confrontation, though this time it was on the flop that all the chips went in.

With the flop spread and close to 7,000 already in the pot Hong Kong��s Alfred Lee had led for 3,000 from middle position and been raised by Pan to the tune of 9,000.

Lee thought it over and looked Pan up and down suspiciously before moving all-in for close to 20,000 and Pan called extremely quickly.

Alfred Lee:
Yuefeng Pan:

Pan��s suited gap connectors had hit the flop hard and his two pairs were leading Lee��s top pair and that did not change when the turn and river completed the hand. Lee hit the rail and Pan stacked up to 55,000.
