Nattamon Kaweesorasak opened in middle position to 500, and Jadsadakorn Chaihan called. When the action reached the big blind, Le Thong Su raised to 1,800. Kaweesorasak folded, but Chaihan ramped up the action with a re-raise to 5,000. Su responded by four-betting to 12,000, and Chaihan opted to just call.

On a flop of 7♠ 2♣ 5♣ , Su went all-in, and Chaihan called, putting his tournament life on the line.

Jadsadakorn Chaihan: 4♣ 4♠

Le Thong Su: Q♥ Q♣

Su looked pleased as the cards were tabled, but the turn 4♥ drew a groan as it gave Chaihan a set. The river 2♦ sealed the hand, giving Chaihan a full house and leaving Su frustrated.

We picked the action up on the turn where Le Thong Su bet 6,000 into a pot of around 17,000. Sitting next to him on the button was Ngyuen Quan who put in a minimum raise to 12,000. Su called. On the river the board read J♠ 4♠ 3♦ 7♥ T♣ , Su checked and Quan moved all-in for Su's effective 16,800. After about a minute of thinking time, Su called the all-in.

Le Thong Su: 6♥ 6♣

Nguyen Quan: K♣ Q♠

Props to Su for finding the call there. That's how you built a stack early.
