Jui Tai opened from the cutoff to 3,200 and Norway's Tor Welo shoved for 23,600 from the small blind. When it got back to Tai, he asked for a count, then dropped the call.
Tor Welo: Q♥ J♥
Jun Tai: A♥ 9♦
Welo needed to connect with the board, but it was Tai who kept his lead as the 9♠ 3♦ 8♣ flop gave him a pair of nines. That pair improved to two pair on the A♠ turn, which left Welo drawing to one of the four tens in the deck. Luckily for Welo, the T♦ dropped on the river, which gave him the nuts and doubled up his stack.
With a completed board of 9♠ 5♥ 6♣ J♠ Q♥ , Lee Wee Liew was all-in for 18,100, putting Jui Tai in the hot seat as he deliberated on the call. After some thought, Tai moved his chips to the center.
Lee Wee Liew: Q♣ J♣
Jui Tai: 7♥ 7♦
Liew’s two-pair on the river secured him the double-up, leaving Tai to ponder the outcome.
