Former chip leader Bernard Chua raises from UTG for 7,000 and is called at CO by fellow Filipino Edgar Asehan, who is looking to rebound to a decent stack.
The flop comes J♦ 7♠ 3♣ as Chua bombs again, this time for 15,000. Asehan calls.
The turn is the 2♥ and now Chua puts Asehan all-in by shoving. Asehan has 62,000 behind and opts to make the call.
Chua turns over K♣ K♦ while a disgruntled Asehan shows A♠ J♥ and screams for an ace on the river that never comes as the Q♥ arrives.
