A Four is Enough for Dong

Level 11: 4,500 / 9,000 ante: 9,000

On the 4 Q T flop, there were around 30,000 chips in the middle when Van Dong checked it over from the big blind before Justin Tsui bet 17,000 on the button. Dong dropped in a call.

Both read a Q turn and checked through to see the 7 fall on the river, where the two decided to check to a free showdown.

Dong tabled 8 4 for a flopped pair of fours, and it was enough to make Tsui toss his cards back into the muck.

Justin Tsui

It folded around to Ankit Ahjuya in the small-blind who opened it up to 17,500. Justin Tsui called and the flop was T T 5 . The Indian pro bet 20,000 which quickly got called by Tsui. Ahjuya bet another 20,000 on the 9 turn, but Tsui did not go anywhere and called once again.

The river 4 gave four cards to a flush and Ahjuya slowed down and checked. Tsui put out a 80,000 bet and after about 30 seconds of thinking time, Ahjuya led his hand go.
