Quang Bluffs to Win the Pot

Level 9: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Action was picked up with Quang Huy Nguyen moving all-in for 23,800 on a board of 2♣ T♠ 5♠ 6♣ J♣ , with the pot already around 50,000. Tran Van Tai found himself facing a tough decision, taking his time as he mulled over the call.

After a long consideration, Tai finally mucked his hand. Overjoyed, Nguyen began speaking animatedly in the vernacular and couldn’t resist showing his bluff, revealing K♦ 4♦ to Tai's dismay as he scooped up the pot.

Huang Determined to Build Stack

Level 7: 400 / 800 ante: 800

The action resumed with Tien-Sheng Huang all-in for his tournament life once again, this time up against Tran Van Tai on a completed board.

Tien-Sheng Huang: A♥ K♦

Tran Van Tai: T♥ T♦

Board: 9♣ K♣ 7♥ Q♥ 8♣

Huang's king on the board was enough to beat Tai's pocket tens, maintaining his lead through the entire hand and securing a much-needed double up.

Not content with just one double, Huang found another opportunity to go all-in, hoping to build a more substantial stack before the last break of the day.

The action picked up once again with Huang all-in for his tournament life, now facing Quang Trung Dinh, who was deep in thought, deliberating his next move. The board read: 3♠ A♣ 4♥ 9♠ K♣ , with the pot hovering around 40,000.

After some careful consideration, Dinh ultimately mucked his hand, allowing Huang to show his cards: Q♠ J♠ — a well-timed bluff that earned him the pot and added more chips to his growing stack.

Tai Shows Queen for a Turned Full House

Level 7: 400 / 800 ante: 800

Quang Trung Dinh opened from the hijack to 1,600, only for Tien-Sheng Huang to three-bet to 4,000. Not one to back down, Tran Van Tai in the small blind decided to take control with a four-bet to 12,000. Dinh folded, but Huang called to see the flop.

The flop came down: K♥ 9♥ 9♦ . Both players checked, but Tai fired 12,000 on the turn of Q♠ . Huang called, keeping the pot alive. The river brought the 8♥ , and Tai made a hefty bet, putting Huang in the tank.

After some deliberation, Huang reluctantly folded his hand. To ease his mind, Tai revealed Q♣ Q♦ for a full house on the turn, sending Huang away from the hand.
