6.20pm: Hachem rolled from High Roller
After a barnstorming start to the APPT Macau High Roller event, Masa Kagawa has been eliminated, joining Singapore’s Nathanael Seet, Aussies Daniel Neilson and Jay SEABEAST Kinkade and Team PokerStars Pro Joe Hachem on the rail. Hachem’s demise came when he pushed over the top of a bet of 10,000 from Jonathan Karamalikis on a flop of J♥ 5♦ 3♦ , with Guillaume Patry also pushing all-in. It was Hachem’s flush draw A♦ 9♦ against the two-pair of Patry 5♥ 3♥ and the 3♣ 3â™ , making a set for Karamalikis. Hachem found the J♦ on the turn but that gave Karamalikis a full-house and the pot worth 225,000. The chip leader is Gap Young Kim (400,000) ahead of Karamalikis, Emanuel “Curly” Seal (210,000), Sean Keeton (205,000) and PokerStars.net Team Asia Pro Daniel Schreiber (175,000).
6.05pm: Hall falls in 18th
Tom Hall had been steadily leaking chips all afternoon and finally had to take a stand. The time came when Hall hit middle pair with Qâ™ 6♥ on a flop of 4♥ 6♦ 10♣ but he’d been outflopped by Daoxing Chen, who held 10♦ 8â™ . Chen found a second pair on the turn 8♦ with the river 2â™ confirming the Pokerstars Sponsored Player’s exit in 18th position. The tournament has taken an interesting turn, with no player holding less than 20 big blinds, so we might be here for a while before the final nine players are decided.
