Jui Tse Kao went all in from under the gun and Ching Ning Hsueh called off his remaining chips from the small blind to put himself at risk.

Ching Ning Hsueh: A♣ K♣

Jui Tse Kao: J♠ J♥

Unfortunately for Hsueh, the board came to Kao’s side as it delivered T♠ 2♠ 7♠ 9♠ 3♠, improving Kao’s pocket jacks into a flush and showing Hsueh to exit.

Ting Yao Lin raised to 2,100 from the cutoff and Ching Ning Hsueh defended from the big blind. Both read a flop of 7♦ 2♣ 5♣, bringing the flush and straight draw possibilities, and Hsueh checked the action to Lin, who then bet 5,000, forcing his opponent to fold.

A flop filled out 4♥ 2♠ K♦ with around 6,000 chips in the middle. Huang Jie Chen from the small blind and Lu Kuan Lung from the big blind checked over the action to Ching Ning Hsueh, who bet 1,600, which only Lung called. The 5♣ came on the turn, and both players checked through to see the K♣ fall on the river, where the action went check-check again.

After Lung tabled rivered trips with K♥ Q♣, leaving Hsueh with no chance to win the pot as to muck his hand.
