Aces Again for Bassat?
Nível 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Following a raise from under the gun to 750 and two calls from middle position and the button respectively Andrew Bassat squeezed to 3,000 from the small blind. While the original raiser made the call the other two players bowed out taking the action heads-up to a flop of 
.
Bassat fired out a bet of 4,500 leaving himself around 25,000 behind and sending his opponent deep into the think tank for a minute or so before eventually mucking.
“Choose one,” said Bassat, with his opponent picking the right-hand card and turning over the 
. Regardless of what Bassat actually held it was enough to win the pot and he climbed to just shy of 40,000.

Seidel Fighting Back
Nível 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Erik Seidel lost a lot of chips after registering late but a big holding has helped him rally back to some breathing room.
The community cards were spread 
and Seidel moved all in for his last 2,900. Seidel’s opponent shrugged and tossed in a call before seeing the 
for an overpair.
Seidel’s kings were good and he raked in the pot, moving back up to 12,500.

Huang and Kornuth Climb
Nível 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
We caught the action on the river in a sizable heads-up pot between Singapore’s Bryan Huang and a tablemate. With the board reading 
Huang, sitting in the big blind, fired out a 13,500 bet, which was roughly pot sized. While Huang’s opponent tanked for a minute or so he elected to fold and Huang scooped the pot to climb to just over 40,000.
Another player whose fortune is on the rise in Chance Kornuth, who is now sitting on a veritable castle of chips after taking down a sizable three-way pot.
Preflop Kornuth raised to 750 from middle position finding two callers from a player in the cutoff and the big blind to take the action three-way to a rainbow flop of 
.
After the big blind checked Kornuth continuation bet 1,300 with both opponents’s making the call. The 
turn kept the board rainbow and brought checks from all three players.
The river saw the big blind lead out for 5,050 causing Kornuth to look over and ask how much more his opponent had behind – 17,100 more – before announcing “raise” making it 14,000 in total.
The player in the cutoff folded but the big blind opted to make the call and turned over 
for a turned wheel. However, Kornuth went one better and turned over 
for the six-high straight to scoop the 34,500 pot while his opponent dropped to 7,650.

The $100,000 Challenge Has Been Rescheduled for Tomorrow, Rake Slashed in Half
Nível 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
There were plenty of players interested in playing the $100,000 Challenge event with Stephen Chidwick and Ben Tollerene signed up already and [Removed:17], Mikita Badziakouski, David Peters and Ben Heath hanging around. But, despite them being right there, nobody wanted to start playing just yet.
After having waited for some fresh blood for two hours, the tournament director and the players agreed to reschedule the event for tomorrow, Monday January 23 at 1 pm local time. Instead of the scheduled 3-day event, the tournament will now be a 2-day with the final day/table still scheduled for January 28.
Right when the decision had been made to postpone the event, Brandon Adams came walking in with his tournament registration slip. Also walking by was high roller Dan Shak who's playing the Main Event today. He seemed interested now that the event is going to be on tomorrow.
Update: Crown Poker has just announced they have decided to cut fifty percent off the commission for everyone registered by the start of level 2 to get the ball rolling.
Loosli Eliminated
Nível 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Our media desk is set up right in the middle of the poker room, about a meter away from Table 31. Sylvain Loosli started at that table but busted about an hour ago, according to his former neighbor Martin Jacobson. Despite being in an excellent position to notice the absence of Loosli, we had overseen his exit.
Jacobson told us that Loosli had squeezed all in with pocket eights for 25 big blinds after a raise and two calls. The initial raiser turned out to have pocket jacks, wasn't folding them, and saw his hand hold up after going to battle with Loosli.
It's been over an hour ago since this happened, but at least now you know.

Finger Finds a Fold
Nível 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
The player under the gun raised to 700 and after calls from both Martin Jacobson and Julius Colman, Martin Finger announced a three-bet. The initial raiser played back at him with a four-bet to 6,000 and with Jacobson and Colman out of the way, the decision was back on Finger.
With a total of only 10,400 in his stack Finger looked torn with the predicament. He tanked for several minutes before ultimately releasing his hand with a request for his opponent.
“Show me aces” Finger said to the player under the gun.
“No aces” came the reply.
“Show me anything” Finger pleaded.
After given permission to turn up one card Finger flipped over the 
and revealed that he’d laid down pocket jacks.
“Good fold” came some reassurance from the player under the gun.
Shak Pips Kempson
Nível 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Both players in the blinds checked their options on a flop before Corey Kempson bet out 1,700 from the hijack. Dan Shak was also in the hand and called from the cutoff. The blinds folded their hands to leave two players to see the 
drop on the turn.
Kemspon check-called a bet of 3,000 from Shak before both players checked the on the river.
Shak was reluctant to show his hand before turning over 
. Kemspon flashed his 
for a lesser pair and watched as the pot was pushed towards Shak.
