Yu Wins More, Patni and Westmorland Chugging Along, Haxton Out

RazorSharpPro

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

China’s Zigao Yu is currently sitting second in chips and has just padded out his stack a little further at the expense of Kazakhstan’s Shyngis Satubayev.

We caught the action on the turn with the community cards reading and it appears there has already been quite a bit of action as the pot is round 15,000.

Of course, this dies down the instant we arrive with both players seemingly content to check it down to the river. Sitting in the big blind Yu showed first, his seemingly enough to get it done and Satubayev tapped the table and pitched his cards into the muck leaving Yu to scoop the pot.

Kunal Patni looked to have a tough table draw, sitting with Jaeik Cho and Jordan Westmorland, both of whom currently share a house in Bali where they grind online tournaments.

This doesn’t seem to phase Patni though and he wins a small pot off Cho by coming over the top of his 2,300 cutoff open with a squeeze to 6,700 from the button.

Cho eyed up Patni’s remaining stack – which looked to be roughly 27,000 – and decided to let it go, leaving the Indian player to rake in the pot without showdown.

High stakes specialist Isaac Haxton will have a window in his busy schedule tomorrow for the HK$200,000 Single Re-Entry Shot Clock by the looks of things as we saw him headed for the rail and his Main Event run is now over.
