Madness Kick Off (11,000,000 VND)

Meng Guangrui raised to 25,000 from UTG+1 and Anna Ananova made the call from the cut-off. Both players were dealt a flop of A♣ 8♣ K♦.

Guangrui c-bet to 17,000 and Ananova matched to open a 2♦ on the turn. Guangrui fired another barrel of 45,000, but this time Ananova threw in the towel.
