Chip Counts

Facing an early open and a call, Chi Hao Lee on the small blind, bumped it up to 2,500,000 and saw only Ching En Chen continue to flop T♠ 6♠ 8♥ . Chi check raised all-in following an 850,000 bet from Ching, sending his opponent deep in the tank. Ching eventually found the call with an overpair J♦ J♣ for his entire 4,625,000 and was at risk against Lee's A♦ Q♥. Turn T♦ and river 2♥ ran safe for Ching, shipping the 40 big blind pot towards his way.

Chi Hao Lee raised all-in on the button for his entire 6,350,000 and saw Lloyd Fontillas rise to the challenge.

Dominated, Fontillas forked over a chunk of his stack as board K♥ 8♥ 8♣ J♦ 3♠ offered him no help.

Li Wei Kuo pushed for 500,000, called by both players on the blinds. Action on flop T♥ 4♥ J♣ was checked round to turn 7♥ , where Yo Da Lin led for 1,300,000. Chi Hao Lee right behind, raised all-in for 2,000,000 more, snap called by Yo.

Li Wei Kuo 9♦ 8♠

Chi Hao Lee 9♥ 5♥

Yo Da Lin T♠ T♣

Chi ahead with a flush, sealed the win just as river 5♣ completed the board, earning him both the main and side pot.

Ching En Chen defended his big blind vs Chi Hao Lee's button open, and faced another 175,000 bet on flop K♠ T♦ 2♦ . Ching check raised to 400,000 yet folded after Chi reshoved all-in.
