On the turn 9♦ , Huang puts pressure again with a lead out bet of 32,000, Wu tanks then gives it up.

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.

With another check in front, Lin Zhen Yi forks out a small 1,500 feeler that gets +1 and CO to fold, but Ling Yen Huang makes it 3,300 from the SB.
