Nam Le Wins! 1 year ago

Nam Le is the High Roller champ. He pushed around Andrew Scott until he'd built a 9-1 chip lead and then bet enought to commit Scott when he looked down at king high.

Scott made the call with Jc Tc and would need to catch against Le's Kc 2c.

The flop fell Ks Jd 6d and while Scott grabbed some additional outs on the As turn, the 9d river wasn't one of them.

Scott takes $269,230 for second while Le grabs the the title, the $474,358 first place prize and all the glory.

A full recap of the final table should be up here before the night is through.

Level 19: Fight! 1 year ago

We're into the 19th level here and Nam Le is continually putting the pressure on Andrew Scott heads-up.

He now sits with $900,000 to Scott's $300,000 and it could all be over soon.

  • Level: 19

Do Done (Third) 1 year ago

Quinn Do is out after Andrew Scott hit a three-outer on him. The two got in a raising war pre-flop that culminated with Scott talking himself into shoving on Do and Quinn making the call for his tournament life with pocket tens.

Scott had Ah Th and when the Qc 8s 6c flop fell, any hopes of a heart flush fell with them. But, when the Ad turned, it was Quinn who would need the case ten to survive.

The river was the Kd and Do heads out third, cashing $153,846.

Now it'll be up to Nam Le and his $790,000 to take on Scott and his $435,000 for the High Roller title.

Chucky's Dead (Fourth) 1 year ago

Charles Chua's amazing run here in Macau is finally over. After making second in the main event just days ago he'll cash $115,384 for fourth here, having failed to get past Nam Le.

Nam raised, he reraised and Nam shipped it on him. Chua made the call with pocket jacks, but Le had the queens and the queens held on a Ac 7h 3d Ad 2d board.

It took a lot of luck for Chua to get this far, but he showed a little poker chops as well and even the jaded crew at PL.com was impressed. Good luck Chuck. 

Now three-handed, Nam has a huge lead with $785k to Quinn Do's $250k and Andrew Scott's $185k.

Chua Doubles Again 1 year ago

Charles Chua has doubled through Nam Le to take a chunk out of his chip lead here in Macau.

He shoved pocket queens and Nam looked him up with As Kc. The board ran out 9s 4d 3c 5c 6c and after the double, Chua moved up to $350k.

Meanwhile, Le still leads with $490,000 and Andrew Scott and Quinn Do are bringing up the rear with around $200k apiece.

Quinn Doubles 1 year ago

Quinn Do had doubled through Charles Chua. He shoved sevens and got the call from Chucky with fives.

The flop, turn and river brought no five and while Do doubled up to $220k, Chus drops back down to that range.

D-oh! 1 year ago

Quinn Do just made a huge mistake trying to bully Charles Chua off a pot. He raised pre-flop and Chua fired back, Quinn flatted and the flop came 6s 5s 3s.

It only took a second before Do shoved in. Chua made the quick call for his tournament life with Ks Kd, picking off Do's Ts 9h bluff.

The turn and river, as if it mattered, came Ad Js, giving Chucky the flush and the double.

Do is now the short stack on $120k and has only himself to blame.

Le Takes a Bite Out of Chucky 1 year ago

With a better two pair than Charles Chua had, Nam Le just made a nice value raise on the river, and Chucky was forced to make the call.

A $300k pot was shipped to Nam in the process and Chucky is in trouble once again.

Could another donkstrike be next? Stay tuned to PL.com to find out!

Chua Donkstrikes Do 1 year ago

Charles Chua got picked off when he open-shove bluffed with T-4 off.

Here's the chip counts after the lucky double:

Nam Le
 $390,000
Quinn Do
 $350,000
Charles Chua
