Main Event

Longhao Shen raised to 30,000 in the cutoff and was called by fellow countryman Junsheng Qiao in the big blind. Qiao check-called the Q♥ 9♦ 3♣ flop for 25,000 and then jammed the J♥ turn for 50,000, which Shen called.

Qiao had outs to a chop or win with the flush draw but bricked the 4♠ on the river, bowing out in 11th place.

Down to just over two blinds, Junsheng Qiao moved all-in from the button and was called by Su Min Im in the small blind as well as Longhao Shen in the big blind.

The two active players checked down the J♣ 8♠ 7♠ 5♠ 7♥ board and Qiao tripled.

First to act, Junsheng Qiao raised to 50,000 and it folded to Young Kyu Kim in the big blind. He reluctantly jammed for 215,000 and Qiao snap-called.

The dominated pair spiked a set on the A♦ J♠ 5♠ 9♣ 7♣

Junsheng Qiao made it 22,000 to go from under the gun and Gwongjin Park three-bet to 65,000 from the next seat. Tsukasa Endo then four-bet jammed for massive 460,000 in the hijack. Qiao folded but Park tank-called all-in for just shy of 40 big blinds.

The T♠ K♥ 9♠ 7♣ 3♥ board left Endo with a few big blinds only.

Junsheng Qiao and Dongwoon Lee limped in before Hwaejae Jeong on the button made it 28,000 to go. Hyukjin Kwon four-bet to 125,000 from the bg blind to force out Qiao, while Jeong already wanted to call all-in.

Lee reminded him he was still to act and reluctantly folded, Jeong then called all-in.

The pocket queens found no help on a board of 9♠ 8♦ 4♦ T♥ 7♣ while Lee sighed, apparently having folded pocket jacks.
