Qiang Xu Eliminated in 9th Place ($34,210)

Livello 30 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Andres Korn opened from under the gun to 325,000. Action folded around to Qiang Xu in the big blind who elected to call and see a flop of 6♣3♣5♦.

Xu checked to see Korn continue with another bet of 325,000. Xu gave it some thought before raising the rest of his chips all in and Korn snap-called to put Xu at risk with two cards to come.

Qiang Xu: A♠7♥
Andres Korn: Q♦Q♠

Xu needed help from the turn or the river to pair his ace or complete his straight but the J♣ turn and the 5♥ river did neither and instead sent Xu to the rail in ninth place for $34,210.

Reknar Out Flops Farrell

Livello 30 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Niall Farrell raised from under the gun to 400,000 and saw a call come from Girish Reknar in middle position. Action behind folded and the two saw a flop of 3♦J♠8♠.

Both players decided to check the flop to see a turn card that was the A♦.

Farrell check-called a bet from Reknar of 300,000, prompting the dealer to put the K♥ out on the river.

Farrell checked again and watched as Reknar sized up with a bet of 900,000. Farrell thought for a few moments and certainly seemed to want to stick a call in but eventually decided to fold.

Reknar ended up tabling the 8♥8♦ for a set of eights and Farrell stated that he had folded two tens.
