Madness Kick Off (11,000,000 VND)

Jun Liu raised to 6,000 from the cut-off and was three-bet by Hung Xuan ha to 18,000. Liu made the call to see a flop of K♥ T♥ 6♠ . He led out with 16,000 and Liu called to see an A♦ on the turn. Ha led out again for 22,000 and was matched by Liu to see a 9♦ on the river.

Ha this time checked the action over to Liu who pushed all his remaining 80,000 into the middle. Ha snap called and excitedly flipped over A♥ 9♠. Liu shyly showed his 6♥ 8♥ which only showed a pair of sixes, a missed flush and a missed straight and also a missed chance to advance to Day 2 by exiting to the rail.

Jun Liu raised to 5,000 from the cut-off. Hung Xuan Ha three-bet to 14,500 from the small blind. Nhu Hieu Mai peeked into his cards and liked what he saw enough to push his last 65,000 chips all-in.

Jun Liu made the call and Ha spent three time banks before also putting his chips in for a call.

The flop came Q♦ T♣ 2♠. Ha led with a 30,5000 all-in shove and was called by Liu. Liu had flopped top pair queen, but Ha was ahead with pocket kings. Mai had a gut-shot draw.

The board completed 7♦ 2♣, giving Ha the win and the triple up. Liu's stack received a big dent and Mai said goodbye to the table and to the tournament.
