Final five hands.
Bevin Binks a King
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Tim
Quang Huy Nguyen had been nursing a short stack for quite some time when he decided now was the time to move all in for his remaining 130,000. Next to him was Australia's Matthew Bevin who just called. Once the blinds got out the way the cards were revealed.
Bevin K♥ K♦
Nguyen A♣ 6♣
There was an A♦ on the flop followed by the 4♣ and J♥ meaning Nguyen shot into the lead. But the turn K♣ gave Bevin the set, Nguyen still had a flush draw though. Bevin rivered quads with the K♠ and eliminated another player.

Zheng Gets His Revenge
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Tim
Unsure how the action went pre-flop but Xiaosheng Zheng was the player out of his chair and at risk of being eliminated on the last level of the day. His opponent in the hand was Nguyen Hoang Long.
Long J♣ J♦
Zheng K♠ K♣
Long had been the benefactor of set over set against Zheng earlier in the day and this seemed to be Long's chance to get his revenge. The board ran out 7♣ 3♠ A♠ 7♠ 2♣ and Zheng secured a much needed double up to around 800,000

Final Level

Players are into the final level of the day.
Zhang Takes One From Nguyen
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Tim
We joined the action on the turn with the board showing A♠ 6♠ 8♥ 3♠ and Terry Nguyen had bet 30,000. Sitting to his left was Australia's Julian-Andrew Warhurst who called. Then Sili Zhang came in with a check-raise to 135,000. Nguyen called but Warhurst quickly folded.
The river came a seemingly blank 2♥ and after some thought Zhang bet out to the sum of 315,000. Nguyen went ino the tank, using some of his time extensions before reluctantly letting his hand go and forfeiting the pot to Zhang.
What a Painful Exit for Nguyen

Tran Trung Hieu
Getting to the table and Ngoc Minh Le had raised initially to 25,000 and been 3-bet by Tran Trung Hieu to 60,000. In the small blind was Huu Vinh Nguyen and he moved all in for about 110,000. Le got out of the way and Hieu called.
Hieu Q♣ 9♣
Nguyen K♠ K♥
Hieu had been caught with has hand in the cookie jar and needed to get very lucky to eliminate Nguyen.
That didn't look likely on the K♣ Q♠ 7♠ flop as Nguyen had made top set. But the J♣ was probably the best card in the deck for Hieu. The river was the T♦ completing Hieu's straight and he eliminated Hieu. Thirty-three remain and they are down to four tables.
Three is the Magic Number

Grant Gardner of the United Kingdom opened up to 25,000 and got 3-bet jammed on again by short stacked Duy Thuc Nguyen for about 100,000, this time Gardner called and Nguyen's tournament life was at risk.
Gardner Q♦ T♣
Nguyen 3♠ 3♦
The window card was a 3♣ followed by a K♥ and a T♥ . The turn and river were the 6♣ T♦ securing Nguyen's double up. Nguyen is still one of the shortest stacks in the tournament and will need to win a few more hands like that if he wants to make the money tomorrow.
Name | Chip Count |

Grant Gardner | 600,000 |
Duy Thuc Nguyen | 200,000 |
Lam Flops Quads
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Tim
It folded round to Vietnam's Vu Hoai Lam in the small blind and he raised to 30,000. In the big blind was Australia's Joshua Mccully who made the call, Mccully has had huge success here in Da Nang, his most impressive feat has been winning the Superstar Challenge, he will be looking to winning here add his trophy cabinet if he can.
Both players checked all the way to the river on a board of 9♠ 9♦ 5♣ K♥ 8♦. But then the river is where the action started. Lam bet out 23,000 and Mccully raised to 73,000. Lam pulled back his initial raise and put out a 3-bet to 150,000.
Mccully went deep-deep into the tank, he threw in time extension after time extension, carefully going over the hand. Eventually, he said call and was shown 9♣ 9♥ for quads by Lam and takes a big hit here deep in Day 1. Lam on the other hand is building up momentum.

Set Over Set
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Tim
Getting to this table on a flop of 6♣ 4♠ T♦ and Nguyen Hoang Long had bet out 10,000. In the big blind was Xiaosheng Zheng who check-raised to 30,000. Long just called.
The turn came the 5♥ and Zheng slid in four green chips worth 100,000. Long immediately said all in and Zheng snap called.
Long turned over 6♥ 6♠ for a flopped set, when seeing this Zheng dropped his head in utter disappointment. Zheng turned over 4♥ 4♦ for bottom set and need a total miracle to win this won. He couldn't hit the one outer though as the K♣ came and Long wins a huge pot.
