"Did you just register?" Jack Salter in the cutoff asked over to Muehloecker, who replied he had started the hand with 93,000. Salter four-bet to 34,000 and Muehloecker gave it some thought before moving all in, Salter snap-called.

Thomas Muehloecker:

Zhang Hits a House to Eliminate Ferreira

Nível 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ivan Leow raised to 6,000 from the cutoff, and Chi Zhang called on the button. Jean Ferreira moved all in from the small blind for 15,700 and Leow called. With the decision back on Chi Zhang, he moved all in, which got Leow to fold reluctantly.

Jean Ferreira:
Chi Zhang:

Board:

Zhang saw his pocket pair was dominated by Ferreira's pocket eights, but the flop hit Zhang's out, and he improved to a full house on the turn. There was to be no miracle eight on the river for Ferriera, and he departed from the event.

Ivan Leow	185,000 -100,000	-100,000
