Phachara eliminated in the last hand of the day
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Joris
Natural8 ambassador and Thai poker pro Wongwichit Phachara has been eliminated from the Super High Roller. The well-liked Phachara jammed all-in from the cutoff in the last hand of the day and received a call from big bling Fung Sam Lam.
Phachara: A♣ 6♠
Lam: 8♥ 8♦
The board ran out 5♣ K♦ 3♥ 5♠ T♦, what meant we say our goodbyes to Phachara in 24th place. The final 23 players all made it to Day 2.
Wongwichit Phachara
Lam was hoping for a jam
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Joris
We arrived at table 28 when we saw Keng Yong Tan lead out 170,000 on a board of 6♠ 2♦ 7♣ J♣. Fung Sam Lam was in the tank and decided to make the call.
Tan only had 500,000 behind so a juicy river would possible see him jamming in. The K♥ again gets checked by Lam and Tan goes deep in the tank. His body language said, "Jam!", but he checked to his relief as Lam was slow playing J♥ 7♥. Lam was hoping for a jam!

Fung Sam Lam | 2,100,000 |
Keng Yong Tan | 535,000 |
Obara leava Phachara short
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Joris
The action gets opened by Jun Obara UTG to 60,000. Wongwichit Phachara made the call from the big blind and we see a flop heads-up.
Phachara check-called Obara's c-bet on a board of A♥ J♠ 6♠. The 3♣ got checked by both players as well as the 8♥.
Obara showed A♣ Q♥ for top pair. Phachara couldn't beat that as he tabled K♣ J♣. The Thai pro in deep trouble now as he is left with only 13 big blinds.
Kharman busts Warhurst
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Joris
Just before the redraw we lost Julian Warhurst. In an all Australian battle Warhurst hit the rail by running into K♥ K♣ of Kharman. Warhurst himself had A♠ 4♠.
The flop gave Kharman right away his set K♦ 3♦ 2♠, but Warhurst still had outs. The Q♦ and 4♥ meant Warhurst busted in 25th. A frustrating day at the office for the Aussie that earlier saw his aces cracked by kings in a massive pot.

Liu takes some from Pan
PostedJust nowby Life of Poker - Joris
We missed the exact preflop action but Jim Pan and Wing Po Liu saw a flop heads-up while the pot grew to 500,000.
The flop A♣ A♥ 9♦ received a small bet by Pan and Liu made a quick call. On the 4♥ turn and 7♣ river both players checked their option.
Pan showed J♠ J♣, but did not win the hand as Liu showed Q♥ Q♣.
Abhinav Iyer told us he folded ace-queen preflop an unfortunate needle flop after a good fold from the Indian.

Multi tabling skills 101
As we arrived at table 28 we saw a preflop all-in between short stacked Adam Kharman from Australia and Peng Wu from Taiwan. Two seconds later we hear the dealer at table 27 also announcing an all-in. This was also a preflop all-in between the Joshua McCully and the massive stack of Yu-Chung Chang.
This is how it went down:
Kharman was in deep trouble as he tabled 5♠ 5♥ against the 8♠ 8♥ of Peng. The board ran out clean for the local player: 2♣ 9♥ T♣ 7♣ A♦.
On the other table we saw McCully all-in for his last 160,000 and he dominated Chang's A♠ 5♣ with his A♣ J♥. Just as on table 27 the hand that dominated scooped the pot as the board ran out T♥ 6♦ A♥ K♦ 7♠.
One Aussie hits the rail while the other found a crucial double.
