Erdun Xu defended his big blind against Ledong Zhou's cutoff open, and went on to battle on flop 8♣ 5♥ 7♥ . Action checked round to turn Q♠ , where Xu check called a 20,000 bet from his opponent.

Zhou fired a final 25,000 on river K♦ and instantly mucked as Xu put out the chips, shipping Xu the pot with no showdown.

With action folded to the blinds, Ledong Zhou bumped up the stakes to 10,000 and saw Martin Nielsen complete behind.

On flop 9♠ J♠ 9♣ , Zhou pulled a check raise to 18,000 and went on to lead another 30,000 on turn 8♦ . Nielsen raised all-in by the second barrel and Zhou called off for his remaining 38,000.

Nielsen 9♦ 4♥

Zhou Q♦ 9♥

Both with flopped trips, Zhou's better kicker kept ahead through river A♠ , leaving Nielsen short following the loss.
