Level 19 (Limits 12,000/24,000)
Total Entries: 70
Players Remaining: 4
Average Stack: 250,000
Daniel Amar won a huge pot to move himself up the leaderboard but also cripple Jinglin Chen right before break. Amar will now head into Level 20 second in chips, while Chen has just one big bet.
The last few orbits have been pretty uneventful but that all changed in one of the final hands of Level 19. That hand saw the two big stacks get involved with Jinglin Chen, in a pot that crippled Chen and left him with just 2,000 chips.
On a board of {Jh}{10s}{4h}, Adi Prasetyo checked and Chen bet, before Daniel Amar and Prasetyo called. The {3d} fell on the turn and the same betting pattern occurred, with Chen’s bet leaving him just 2,000 behind. The {Qc} fell and all three checked, with Amar tabling {Ac}{Js}{8c}{4d}.
His two pair was good to scoop the pot and even though Chen was short, he’s still alive heading into Level 20. He doubled up twice before break and will come back with less than one big bet, as the field is almost ready to restart play.
A complete list of the remaining counts are listed below:
- Jinglin Chen – 24,000
- Marc Matz – 325,000
- Daniel Amar – 310,000
- Adi Prasetyo – 405,00
