All Gas No Breaks For Hui Ma

Level 5: 300 / 600 ante: 600
Hui Ma

With a 1,200 open and a call in front, big blind Hui Ma puts 4,000 in the middle and only initial raiser Xiaotong Yu tags along for the 9 3 8 flop where Ma starts a triple barrel sequence of 2,000, 2,000 and 10,000 to the A turn and Q river with Yu calling all the way before throwing it in the muck when Ma tables A Q top two.

Fengjiao Wang Collects Another

Level 4: 300 / 500 ante: 500
Fengjiao Wang

He Jin gets going for 1,500 in +1, button Hui Ma increases to 3,000 and becomes the only customer after big blind Fengjiao Wang squeezed to 9,000. A single 8,000 continuation on 9 8 Q is enough for Wang to scoop right there.
