Here we go! It's the final table of the TMT Championship 2024 Mini Main (NT$ 3M GTD)!

Chan Chun Wai made the min-raise to 200,000 from under the gun. Cianyou Huang called all-in for his last 165,000 and the big blind completed the 200,000. All three were shown a flop of A♦ K♣ 2♠. Both checked to see 4♣ turn. Lo checked and folded when Wai fired 200,000. Wai and Huang made the final showdown. When they showed their cards, Wai had a two-pair and Huang was drawing dead.
