Kang Sets Up Ooi
Zhi Ooi opened from under the gun to 2,500 and received two callers, Yoon Kang on the button and Felix Favre from the big blind.
Three players read the flop of 4♥ 2♠ K♠ , and both Favre and Ooi checked over. Kang continued with a bet of 3,000, which only Ooi made the call.
A 5♦ fell on the turn, where Ooi check-called after Kang fired 15,000. The river brought a 3♣ , and Ooi checked over again, prompting Kang sent another barrel of 66,000. After tanking for around one minute, Ooi dropped in a call.
Kang quickly showed a turned set with 5♣ 5♥, leaving Ooi hopeless to win the pot and muck his hand.
