Ong Gets Cautioned

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Chu Ong raised to 250,000 from the hijack and was called by Zhi Ma in the small blind.

The flop came {2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Ma checked. Ong bet 225,000. Ma then moved all in for 1,150,000 in chips.

Ma thought for a moment then moved his cards forward, which looked like a fold, before dragging them back.

The table spoke up about the angle-shoot as Ong still kept his option.

"Is that not cool?" asked Ong.

The dealer and tournament director had a word to Ong before he finally opted to fold.

"That was not an angle-shoot," pleaded Ong after the hand. He apologized to Ma and the rest of the table before receiving a caution moving forward.

Who Will be Crowned Champion in the WSOP International Circuit Sydney Opening Event?

Who Will Walk Away Champion?
Who Will Walk Away Champion?

The final nine players in the Opening Event will be returning today at 4pm to play for not only the $112,171 first prize but also the prestigious WSOP gold circuit ring.

The first event of the WSOP International Circuit series here at The Star in Sydney will be giving a minimum of $11,118 to the final table and a pay jumps will be happening after every elimination, with the top three getting a $50,000+ payday.

The final table has two recognizable names in Zhi Ma and Chad Awerbuch, who both have a wealth of tournament experience and results to show. Even as two of the three shortest stacks, they will be hard to beat. Ma has over $320,000 in tournament earnings with his best result coming this year at the Sydney Championships where he finished in second place in the $5k challenge for $120,000. Awerbuch has a dozen five-figure scores to his name, his best coming when he finished fourth in the $5,000 NLHE Main Event during the Star Poker Series in Sydney in 2012 collecting $54,506. A top-two finish today will see him top that.

But everyone will be chasing one man, chip leader Jun Wang. The relatively unknown Wang had a dominant Day 2 eventually bagging the chip lead after taking out 10th place finisher Stan L. in the final hand of the evening.
