Ling Yen Huang

Ling Yen Huang is dealt 6♦ 6♠ and three-bets to a fitting 6000 and is called by the two players already in the hand before him. When the flop lands T♥ 6♥ 7♣ , Huang lands a set and continues for 8500. This gets a fold from hijack and a call from Hu Chung I. Attempting to trap, Huang checks the turn 3♦ and river A♦ , but Hu does the same to miss out on possibly extracting more chips.
