Guang all-in in one of the last hands of the day

PostedJust nowby Life of Poker

We are only a few minutes away from the end of the day when Zou Zhi Guang is all-in again.

This time the Chinese pushed all-in against Trung Ha Nguyen when the board reads A♠ 3♦ 9♠ 2♠. Nguyen put out a bet of 40k and this made Guang go all-in for 134k.

Nguyen has Guang covered and thinks it over for a while before folding. The Vietnamese shows Guang the K♠. Guang let his opponent know he was way behind and flashes him his Q♠ T♠.

Christopher Mateo's aces cracked by his neighbor

PostedJust nowby Life of Poker

We just roamed around the room when Christopher Mateo told us he could have been on a stack of over 300k!

Mateo got it in with aces preflop after his neighbor went all-in with ten nine. The Filipino poker pro snap called, but the board run out badly for Mateo as his neighbor made a straight and won a pot of 160k. NZO04713.jpg

Aces versus Kings

PostedJust nowby Life of Poker

In the last level of the day we see the biggest cooler of the day. Van Lich Vu gets it all-in with his A♠ A♦ against Zou Zhi Guang's K♠ K♦.

Vu plays around 150k before the start of the hand, while Guang started the hand with 66k.

A loud cheer goes through the room when Guang sees the K♥ in the window followed by a 6♣ 9♥.

Vu silently is observing the runout: T♠ J♣. He accepting the situation with class, while Guang is dancing of happiness behind him.

Dave Erquiaga gets coolered by Praveen Dwarkanath

PostedJust nowby Life of Poker

Just before entering the last level of the day, we lost Dave "Spade" Erquiaga in a cooler situation.

On a board of 4♦ A♦ 2♠ J♣ all the chips go in the middle. Erquiaga shows A♥ J♥, but sees the bad news when Dwarkanath shows 2♥ 2♣. No help on the river for Erquiaga. We will see the Filipino pro tomorrow in Day 1B.

Tsz Hing Ng coolers Seungmook Jung

PostedJust nowby Life of Poker

We heard some noice coming from table 26, and when we arrive Seungmook Jung just stood up and walked out.

We saw Ng's K♠ K♦ lay in front of him while the chair Jung was in was showing J♣ J♠.

The K♥ A♦ 9♥ made Jung already leave his seat. He didn't miss much as Jung was dead on the turn 2♣.

Tsz Hing Ng is again over 200k. NZO04671.jpg
