Sean Ooi Joins Two Million Club

Big stack Sean Ooi opens 32,000 from under the gun, Liu Yayun three-bets 75,000 from the hijack, the small blind cold calls and Ooi fills up as well. The flop T♦ 2♣ 6♣ gets rejected by all three players and we see the turn 8♥ . Ooi puts out a feeler for 65,000, Liu calls and the small blind gets out of the way to complete the board 3♥ . When Ooi checks, Liu Yayun makes a last ditch effort to steal the pot with Q♥ 9♣ for 65,000, but Sean Ooi calls with 4♠ 4♦ to scoop the pot and leaves the former chip leader with 3 big blinds.

What follows are three barrels from Ooi and three check-calls for 40,000, 90,000 and 190,000 through the turn 4♣ and river 7♦ with the last one being a snap call by Ye Chen, who throws his hand in the muck after Sean Ooi flips over K♣ K♥ .
