Chip Count Update

Up against a cutoff open, button Lok Chan fired a three bet to 250,000 and saw Chang Yen Wen behind push all-in for 474,000 total. Chan puts in the call and is in for a flip against Chang's overcards. Board K♥ K♦ J♣ K♣ J♠ however, ran a full house, splitting the pot between the two.

Nguyen Van Nam opened to 45,000 from utg, called by two players behind. On flop 6♠ 5♥ J♥ , Nguyen continued for 55,000, and Lok Chan puts in the call. Yun Kun Yang then raised all-in with only Nguyen tank calling off for his entire 291,000. Yun shows two pair 5♣ 6♣ , ahead of Nguyen's Q♠ Q♥ . Lucky for the Vietnamese, the turn Q♣ shipped him the advantage, earning the pot as river A♠ completed the board.

Lok Chan opened from utg+1 and called off Guy Sun's jam for 151,000 total. In search of an ace, the board Q♥ T♣ 7♠ 8♣ 6♣ felted none, earning Chan the boost.
