Wang Finally Gets Another Bounty

Level 18 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Joseph Molitor
Joseph Molitor

Jaret Tambling pushed for 125,000 and Joseph Molitor went all-in over the top, as did Kaifan Wang with the covering stack.

Jaret Tambling: KJ All in
Joseph Molitor: A10 All in
Kaifan Wang: 55

Everybody liked the spot according to the table chat and it was Molitor who drew the shortest straw on the 974K7 runout to bust against Wang, while Tambling tripled up.

Driscoll Counterfeits Norero

Level 18 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jean Paul Norero opened to 65,000 from the hijack before James Driscoll jammed for 510,000 from the small blind, and Norero called after a minute's tank with the covering stack.

James Driscoll: A10 All in
Jean Paul Norero: 77

It was a coinflip scenario as the JJ4 flop kept Norero in front with sevens. The K turn added a gutshot and counterfeit outs for Driscoll, who drilled the repeat K river to counterfeit the sevens, and his ace-high was best for the double.

"Was That Crazy Enough?"

Level 18 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jaret Tambling pushed all-in for 80,000 and Joseph Molitor did so for the last 175,000. Kaifan Wang then called the second shove and Lingyu Zen moved all-in for 555,000 over the top.

"This is crazy," Wang said after he was in the tank and ultimately called to put three players at risk.

Jaret Tambling: 109 All in
Joseph Molitor: J9 All in
Lingyu Zen: A7 All in
Kaifan Wang: 52

The board ran out QJ108A and Tambling as well as Molitor survived with the straight while Zen doubled in the second side pot against Wang.

"Was that crazy enough?" Wang asked the live reporting team after the hand was over.

The Luckbox Strikes Again

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Kaifan Wang
Kaifan Wang

"Make sure to mention luckbox in the updates," Kaifan Wang said.

He faced a raise and two calls, then pushed all-in for 532,000 total.

Jaret Tambling called for slightly more and so did Keith Palek who was covered in the final hand before the colour up break.

Keith Palek: AK All in
Kaifan Wang: QJ All in
Jaret Tambling: AQ

The J97 board improved Wang to a pair but Tambling had the nut flush draw. No help came on the 2 turn and the 3 river for Wang to essentially triple-up, knocking out Palek in the process. He had also previously sent Craig Feldherr to the rail as well.

Kaifan Wang opened to 40,000 on the button before Alan Nosonchuk jammed for 648,000 from the big blind, and Wang confirmed the count before he elected to call as the covering stack.

Alan Nosonchuk: KK All in
Kaifan Wang: 77

Nosonchuk was in good shape with the dominating pair as the AK3 flop improved him to top set. It was all over on the 2 turn to the 3 river, and Nosonchuk collected a massive double.
