Ke Loses Chips to Floor Ruling

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Yijhen Ke
Yijhen Ke

In the last hand before the break, Franky Green opened to 8,000 from middle position. The action folded to Yijhen Ke, who shoved all-in from Seat 6.

The players in the small and big blinds folded.

Ke, who had not seen Green's open, moved her to cards face down toward the dealer, believing she had won the hand. When told that there was another player in the hand, she reached for her cards, but the dealer stopped her and the floor was called over.

Ke's cards appeared to be clearly identifiable, as the cards from the two folded blinds were closer to the dealer and not touching her cards.

After being briefed on the situation, the tournament director told Ke that she was not obligated to lose her entire stack, but she was required to put 12,000 chips, the amount of a minimum raise, into the pot.

And her hand was declared dead.

Ke asked if it was possible for her to tell him exactly what two cards she had to prove that the ones in front of her were indeed hers, but was told that because there could not be 100 percent certainty, the hand was dead.

Ke said afterward that she had ace-queen.

Siu Comfortable with Her Jacks, Eliminates Huang

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yuxi Huang open-jammed all-in for 42,000 under the gun. When action folded to the small blind, Mei Siu responded with her own shove for 93,000.

Skye Chen in the big blind went into the tank. Chen was taking considerable time that Siu decided to prepare a green drink for herself. In the process she dropped the bottle cap and went ahead to search for it while still by the table.

When she finally found it, she looked at Chen wondering if she was still thinking. Chen replied, "This is such a weird spot." After adding a few more seconds to her tanking, she finally folded leaving the two women to head to showdown.

Yuxi Huang: 44 All in
Mei Siu: JJ

Siu was ahead and stayed ahead when the board ran 29QK8 Huang stood up to leave the table, as Siu scooped the pot.

Chen commented, "You were so worried about your green drink and looked so comfortable, I couldn't call." Siu answered, "I didn't want you to call. And I am comfortable."
