Lewchalermwongs Chaiwat raised to 4,000 and was three-bet raised by Yi Hung Chen to 10,500. Chaiwat called and they saw a flop of J♣ K♥ T♦

Chaiwat shoved all-in for 95,600, putting Chen at risk. Chen thought for a moment and then folded his hand.

Chaiwat showed K♦ Q♠ for top pair with a straight draw. Chen showed A♥ A♦ with some at the table a bit surprised with the fold.

Chaiwat though was happy with his scoop.

Three players saw a flop of Q♥ 4♦ 9♥ . Action checked to the button, where Yi Hung Chen fired out 900, finding calls from Yonghwi Im in the small blind and Rajeev Kanjani in middle position.

The turn brought the J♣ , and Im led out for 1,500. Kanjani stayed in the hand, but Chen responded with a raise to 4,500, prompting Kanjani to fold under the mounting pressure. Im, however, made the call.

On the river Q♦ , Im checked, and Chen applied more pressure with a 7,000 bet. Im made the call, only to see Chen table A♣ Q♠ for trip queens. Frustrated, Im mucked his hand.
