Joemark Vasay limped in from the small blind and Teng Yang Hoo defended from the big blind.
Both read the 8♣ 5♦ 8♥ flop, and the action went check-check. The two saw the A♦ land on the turn, where Vasay bet 3,000 and Hoo dropped in a call.
The river brought a 5♥ and Vasay checked the action to his opponent. Hoo then bet 8,000 only to face a raise to 16,000 from Vasay. After tanking for a long time, Hoo made the call to take it to a showdown. Vasay tabled K♦ 9♣ for a bluff and conceded the pot as Hoo flipped two pair with A♣ 4♣ .
