Flight B
Wang Must Wheel-y Like That River

Grant Wang was the first to open the action with a raise to 1,200 from the hijack. Wang found calls from King Wang Ip out of the small blind, and Yi-Jhen Ke from the big blind.
Three players saw the dealer spread out a flop of 9♦ 4♣ 5♦ . Both the blinds checked, prompting Wang to fire out a continuation-bet of 3,300. Ip pondered for quite some time before letting go of his hand, but Ke, instantly called to see a turn.
When the board-pairing 5♥ dropped on the turn Ke opted to lead out with a bet of 8,000. Wang looked over at Ke's remaining stack of roughly 28,000, before he did some inventory of his own. Eventually, he put in the call.
A seemingly meaningless 3♥ appeared on the river and Ke quickly led out again, this time for 15,000. Wang didn't hesitate to match her bet and was shown trips by Ke with 6♥ 5♠ . To the surprise of Ke, Wang flipped over A♣ 2♣ for a rivered straight, and the pot was sent to him.
