Warm Up Mystery Bounty (12,000 NTD)

You Chua flicked in his last 25,000 on the small blind and was called right behind by Chien Lee.

In danger, Chua quickly paired up on board 9♥ 6♦ 8♥ K♠ K♣ , surviving the showdown while at the same time securing the double up.

You Chua opened 12,000 utg and called a 69,000 all-in from Zi Jin Zhang behind.

Dominated, Chua was left short after board T♦ 3♦ T♣ 6♠ 8♥ delivered no bad beats.

A button vs big blind clash saw two pocket pairs land on the table. Chao Xiang Po at risk for his last 36,000, was in rough shape against You Chua's rockets, and ultimately found no help on board 4♦ Q♦ 6♣ K♣ A♦ , sealing his elimination.

Vying for 20,000 in the middle across board A♥ 4♥ 6♦ 6♠ , You Chua pulled a check raise to 33,000 following a 12,000 bet from Hongyu Huang. Huang continued to river 4♦ , and snap called for his remaining 30,500 with two pair A♦ Q♥ . Huang's bluff Q♦ 8♦ gets exposed, leaving him to fork over a chunk of his stack.
