Masaki Crushes Liu's Trips With A Boat

Level 10: 700 / 1,400 ante: 1,400

Matoba Masaki declared all-in and covered the stack of Chih Wei Liu.

Liu didn't think twice and shoved his last 27,000 chips in the middle beside a pot of nearly 45,000 and a board that showed T♠ J♠ J♦ 9♠ 6♠

Liu flipped over K♥ J♥ for a formidable trip-jacks. However, Masaki tabled T♦ T♣ for a full-house, eliminating Liu.
