With 52 entrants and 50 rebuys, the Asia Championship of Poker 2014 Super High Roller prize pool swelled to over $6 million. After a double knock out last night and the exit of @Dan Smith and @Dimitar Danchev, the spectacular field of the world's elite high rollers is down to the 8 paid places. Triple Crown winner @Davidi Kitai is still in contention!
Play has resumed and the Winamax pro, who made one rebuy, is guaranteed $315,000 for 8th place and as much as $1.8 million for first!
Kitai's 3,190,000 in chips at the start of the final day are now down to 1.1 million (blinds 80,000/160,000) after he lost a pot to @Ryan Fee:
| 4:00pm: Fee wins even more Ryan Fee has started very strongly. He recently won plenty of chips off Joseph Cheong and then went on to win a hefty pot off Davidi Kitai. This one started with Kitai opening to 300,000 from the hijack. Fee called from the big blind and the dealer spread out a 6♠K♥Q♥ flop. Fee check-called a bet of 350,000 here and a 5♣hit the turn. This time both players checked and a 4♠ was dealt on the river. After a few moments, Fee changed the tempo, leading out for 800,000. This bet put Kitai deep into the tank. He squiremed in his chair for a long time, clearly not looking too comfortable. Fee sat stoically before Kitai eventually made the call. Fee tabled K♣8♠, Kitai mucked his hand and another nice pot went to Fee. |
The current chip leader is @Joseph Cheong and unsurprisingly, a certain @Daniel Colman is also still in the game!
Yesterday Davidi Kitai chipped up in a crucial three-way all-in. Holding A♥ 9♥, Kitai won the huge pot against @Mike McDonald (pocket 4's) and @Tobias Reinkemeier (pocket T's):
| 10:40pm: Massive three-way all in Mike McDonald was in the cut off when he shoved all in for what looked like 1,250,000. Davidi Kitai then shoved from the small blind for 1,685,000. It was already a big pot, but it was about to get bigger as Tobias Reinkemeier went deep into the tank. Reinkemeier: T♥T♦ It was looking like we might have a double elimination. At least, that was the case before the dealer flipped over a Q♣9♥9♦ flop to put Kitai In front. Then an A♣ gave Kitai the full house. The 4♠ river was just a little needle to McDonald who had made a smaller full house. |

5:00pm: Davidi Kitai eliminated in 8th place (HK$2,420,400)
Davidi Kitai has just become the first player eliminated at the final table.
He moved all in preflop for 680,000 from middle position and Daniel Colman called from the button.
It was Colman with Q♣J♦ against Kitai with K♥8♦.
To give a bit of background before we tell you the flop, the players were recently ribbing Colman about how good he runs and has run this year.
That's why they burst into laughter when the dealer rolled out a 9♣K♠T♣ flop to give him the nut straight.
No help for Kitai on the 6♠ turn or the 9♥ river and so he was sent to the rail with HK$2,420,000 (~US$1.8 million).
Colman is now up well above 5 million.
