Tan Xuan is back in the game after winning two pots to get out of the short stack zone. First hand Xuan three-bet shoves his last 13 bb holding A♥ 9♠ then avoids the rail against James Chen's A♣ J♦ when the board runs T♣ 2♣ 9♦ Q♦ 5♣ .

Xuan collects an even larger pot on a double up off Paulius Plausinaitis. From the big blind, Xuan defends the Lithuanian's button raise then check-calls every street on a board K♥ 3♦ 3♠ 4♣ Q♠ . Calling the 400,000 flop and 1,200,000 turn bet, Xuan tanks on the river shove, using up two time banks. He eventually calls and exposes Plausinaitis's bluff.
