Main Event (16,500 NTD)

Yung Ping Li opened to 700 from under the gun and was called by Hung Yu Liao from late position, which Chen Hong Yu three-bet to 2,500 from the cutoff. Only Li dropped in a call. A flop rolled off A♠ 5♦ 7♠, and Li checked the action to Yu, who continued with a bet of 3,800. Li called to see a 3♥ slid on the turn, where Li checked over again to his opponent. Yu swiftly shoved all in for around 28,000, which Li called off his remaining chips and put himself at risk.

Yung Ping Li: A♣ Q♥

Chen Hong Yu: A♦ K♥

Yu picked up the lead with his kicker king, and Li was searching for a queen to survive. Unfortunately for Li, the river brought a K♠, improving Yu to two pair and sending Li out of the field.

Ling Yen Huang opened from late position to 600 and was called by Po Chia Liao from the small blind and Yung Ping Li from the big blind. Three players read a flop of 5♣ 6♥ 3♥ and checked through to see J♥ land on the turn, where the blinds checked to Huang, who bet 600. Liao and Li made the call. The 2♣ fell on the river, where the blinds checked over again and Huang fired out 2,900 this time, which was enough to make his opponents muck the hand.
