Phuong Tan started the limping round from early-position and everybody except the cut-off limped along. On A♠ 9♦ 5♠ it got checked to Jack Maris who bet out 2,000. Junqiang Lyu on the button and Tan called.

The turn was the 7♦ and it got checked to the button who bet 5,000. Only Maris called and both players saw the 3♦ arriving on the river. No action happened on the river and both players tabled their hands.

Junqiang Lyu: A♥ 5♠

Jack Maris: A♣ 2♥

Lyu scooped the pot with two pair.

The action started with Sehoon Yoon opening from early-position to 900. Nguyen Tan Phuong called from late-position, same went for Jack Maris in the small-blind and Sung Min Lee in the big-blind.

The flop came down 3♦ 3♥ 3♠ and the open raiser continued with a 1,500 bet which only got called by Maris. The 3♣ turn gave both players quads. Maris checked and Yoon fired again, this time for 3,000. Maris called and the river brought the 9♥ . Maris checked and Yoon gave up as it seemed likely that unlike Yoon, Maris was holding an ace. And indeed he did as he tabled A♦ J♥ .
