Three players were shown a flop of T♦ Q♦ 7♣ .

Hoang was ahead, holding an A♥ J♥ but Jang Hyunsick could make the best improvement with a flush, hiding 9♦ 8♦ in his hole. Hu Jinlong also had promising outs with his K♦ J♠

Action was checked to pre-flop raiser JInlong, who obliged a bet of 125,000 which everyone else called to see a turn 3♦

Hoang tapped his option over to Hyunsick, who also checked his turned flush. Jinlong obliged again with 250,000 second barrel. Hoang stood down and Hyunsick re-raised it to 600,000.

Dinh checked his option and Hoang fired a an affordable 65,000 for his full-hose. Dinh called to see a river despite drawing dead.

The river K♠ came giving Dinh a king top-pair - or so it would seem. Dinh tapped his option to Hoang who led with 200,000 and Dinh called to discover his misfortune when Hoang flipped over his wonderful boat.
