Welo Binks the River

Level 11: 800 / 1,600 ante: 1,600

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.

Liew Rivers Two-Pair to Double Up Against Tai

Level 8: 500 / 1,000 ante: 1,000

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.
