Top Chip Counts

A preflop back and forth between Xiaoyun Li and Cheng Chao Ting saw the latter make the final call for his entire 430,000.

Dominated, Li managed to outflop Cheng on 9♣ T♣ Q♦ but failed to hold for the win as the runout 4♥ K♦ brought Cheng a better pair.

Cheng Chao Ting called from the small blind against a cutoff open from Meng Guo, and check raised 80,000 on flop 8♦ T♦ 3♣ . Guo continued to turn A♦ , but snap folded after Cheng fired another 80,000.

Facing an early open, Cheng Chao Ting stuffed his entire 212,000 and saw Chen Long behind, push likewise for a lesser 92,000. Initial raiser opted out, leaving the two to showdown.

Gunning for overcards, Cheng instantly found one on flop Q♦ A♦ 6♣ , with the runout A♥ 7♥ further improving him to a boat for the bust.
