Main Event (16,500 NTD)

Taichi Baba opened to 1,600 from the cutoff only to be jammed by East Chen for 12,000 more from the small blind, which Baba snap-folded. Chen managed to chip up a little bit.

The action was picked on the flop of 8♠ 6♣ 6♥ when Taichi Baba from the big blind, T.K. Young from the hijack, and Li Yang Lai on the button all checked thorough. The A♣ came on the turn, where Baba checked to Young, who then bet 1,500, which Lai put in a raise to 4,000, forcing Baba to fold. Young made the call after thinking for a while. The river brought a 2♦, and Young checked to his opponent. Lai then fired out 15,000 and sent Young into the tank. After a long time, Young eventually tossed his cards into the muck.
