Fu Doubles Through Casas

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Qiang Fu was all-in from the cutoff for 9,200 and at risk as he was called by Alan Casas on the button with the bigger stack while the rest of the table folded.

Qiang Fu: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Alan Casas: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades} for Casas to pick up the flush draw.

The turn brought them the {10-Spades} to not change anything and neither did the {10-Diamonds} on the river as Fu doubled up.

Lee Gets Some Back

Level 7 : 300/600, 50 ante

Jack Lee lost a big portion of his stack as Alex Yazbeck and Michael Mariakis now hold more chips. Lee didn't slow down, though, and raised to 1,500 on the button. Mariakis called in the big blind and check-called two barrels worth 2,100 on the {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop and 5,200 on the {a-Spades} turn.

After the {9-Clubs} river, Mariakis checked and folded when facing a bet of 15,000.

"Show the bluff, put me on tilt," Mariakis demanded but Lee just slid his cards into the muck.

Huang Busts Lapitan

Level 7 : 300/600, 50 ante

Raymond Lapitan was all in before the flop and turned over {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, which represented two over cards to the {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} of Vincent Huang.

The board came {10-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and the pocket pair held up to see the $5k Challenge runner-up with a decent shot at a deep run once more.
