Leow Makes a Fine Check-Back

Level 14 : 0/0, 30,000 ante

Devan Tang limped with {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and called when Ivan Leow raised the button to 260,000, holding {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}.

The {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop was checked and the {9-Hearts} turn brought a 200,000-bet from Tang. Leow, however, spiked a flush draw and he called to see the {8-Diamonds} hit the river. Tang caught the nut straight but he tried to trap Leow and checked. Leow thought about bluffing but then checked, preventing his stack from a significant wound.

Level 13 : 0/0, 25,000 ante
Tom Dwan
Tom Dwan

Tom Dwan open-shoved his last 665,000 under the gun and Ivan Leow matched the price out of the hijack.

Dwan: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Leow: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The flop came down {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}, giving Leow a gutshot and he pulled ahead on the {9-Spades} turn. Dwan needed to hit a king or a jack to survive but the {Q-Diamonds} river sent him to the rail in fifth place.

Patgorski Bubbles the HK$500k Triton Hold'em in Jeju

Level 13 : 0/0, 25,000 ante
Gabe Patgorski
Gabe Patgorski

Gabe Patgorski shoved his last 680,000 under the gun but unfortunately for him, Ivan Leow woke up with aces on the button and he put Patgorski at risk.

Patgorski: {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Leow: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}

Patgorski outflopped Leow on {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{K-Hearts} but Leow spiked a flush draw. The {Q-Clubs} turn gave Leow some additional outs as he could make a straight with a ten and he indeed hit the {10-Spades} to eliminate Patgorski on the stone bubble.

The remaining players were guaranteed to walk away with at least $250,000.

Cao Doubles on the Bubble

Level 13 : 0/0, 25,000 ante
Rui Cao
Rui Cao

Rui Cao jammed with {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for 1,115,000 and Tom Dwan reshoved behind him, holding {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Dwan flopped a pair of tens on {8-Spades}{A-Spades}{10-Spades} but Cao was still a slight favorite to win the hand. The {J-Hearts} turn didn't help him but he hit the {Q-Hearts} on the river and avoided the bubble.

Tang Value-Bet Bluffs to Seize the Chip Lead

Level 13 : 0/0, 25,000 ante

Devan Tang started a string of limps, calling under the gun with {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Only Jason Koon folded preflop and the other five players continued to the {6-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{K-Diamonds} flop where Ivan Leow fired 150,000 in the cutoff, holding {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}. He found one caller in Tang and they checked the {A-Clubs} turn.

Tang turned his hand into a bluff and fired 450,000 on the {9-Hearts} river. Leow thought for a moment and then threw in calling chips. Tang was surprised when he saw that his hand was good enough to claim the pot and he took over the chip lead.

Leow Bluffs the River

Level 13 : 0/0, 25,000 ante

Ivan Leow called with {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} in the second position, Devan Tang overlimped with {K-Spades}{9-Spades} in the hijack and Tom Dwan knuckled on the button with {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

They saw the {10-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} flop and Leow stabbed for 85,000. Dwan picked up a Royal Flush draw along with the bottom pair and he opted to raise to 310,000. Leow paused and then tossed in calling chips.

The {8-Diamonds} turn brought checks from both players and the {6-Spades} river bricked out. Leow reached to his stack and cut out a bet of 525,000. Dwan quickly laid his hand down and Leow's big bluff went through.
