We’ve just had our first casualty on the final table of Event 4 – High Roller, as David Dong Ming Yan scooped the remainder of Carlos Chadha’s chips. Carlos was nursing a short stack all day, and even managed to double and triple up at different occasions, but on this last hand, he started behind and never caught up.

Carlos opened to 4K from the hijack position, and was 3bet to 9K by David from the small blind. Carlos then moved his last 21K in, and was immediately called by David.

Ankush Mandavia’s fall was a two part process. It began a few hands earlier, when Ankush 3bet Danny Lauzon’s preflop min-raise up to 8K. On the flop of , Danny open-shoved his 32.2K stack first to act. Ankush tanked for a few minutes before making the crying call with , and found himself behind the of Danny. The turn and river were bricks ( ), and Ankush was left with just over 30K.

In a later hand, Ankush opened from middle position to 3.2K, and snap called when Samuel Chartier shoved all-in from the big blind.

David, sitting under the gun, fired a bet of 4.5K, and was called by Guillaume Rivet on the button.

Guillaume looked a little disgusted, and went into the tank for a few moments. He eventually made the call, and to his dismay, David turned over for the nuts.

The two current chip leaders of the tournament, David Dong Ming Yan and Timothy Adams, are sitting next to one another on table 70, and are getting involved in quite a few hands together.

The river brought the , and David placed a small bet of 10.5K, which was raised up to 48K by Timothy. David folded quickly, and Timothy won this round.
