Hu...What Happened??!??
SMP wasn't around when Jinlong Hu gave up the chip lead to Hoai Phong Ngo, but according to Hu's painful recollection...
Hu held pocket queens and flopped a seat. Ngo sat on A♣ T♣ for a nut-flush draw that came on the turn and book the win for Ngo and crippling Hu's chip leader stack to below average.
So far, this was the biggest pot.

Sun's Big Slick Earns A Double
Hoai Phong Ngo raised to 20,000 from under the gun when Jinafeng Sun shoved all in for 89,000 in the small blind. Ngo made the call for a showdown.
Sun's big slick was ahead, but the flop did provide a gut-shot straight draw as an out for Ngo with the turn adding outs for an open-ended. Luckily for Sun, the river bricked Ngo and allowed him to double up.
