Chang Wins A Big One

Hung Chang and Shunta Sakamoto built a pot of around 48,600 before the flop came down from a raise, re-raise tug-of-war.
The flop finally came K♦ K♠ 4♥ and big blind Sakamoto checked his option over to Chang bet out 5,600.
Sakamoto was stoic, counted off the chips that he would possibly call and looked over the remaining stack of Chang.
However, no matter what he studied, he looked back into his cards and couldn't make the call, awarding the huge pot to Chang.

On Life Support but Still Alive
Chih Wei Yang opened to 1,200 and Justin Tsui called. Yung Po made it 4,000 and when the action came back to Yang, he shoved all-in for 33,500.
Tsui made the call and Po got out of the way.
Justin Tsui: J♦ J♣
Chih Wei Yang: Q♠ Q♦
The board completed A♥ 3♠ 8♥ T♦ 2♥ to give Yang the pot and leave Tsui with just 1,600 in crumbs.
In the next hand, Tsui went all-in for 1,600 and was called by button Shunta Sakamoto and big blind Yao Yang.
Both players checked down the board of T♥ 2♦ K♦ J♥ 3♦
Tsui showed K♥ 8♣ and the others mucked, keeping Tsui still alive.
