MAIN EVENT ($1,320)

Small blind Quan Qiu wants to see the flop cheap and limps in but big blind Denis Semerenko makes it cost more, raising 1500. Qiu tosses in the call to bring a flop 9♣ 6♦ K♣ . Semerenko continues for 1100, Qiu check-calls, the turn lands 4♥ . Qiu checks again, Semerenko fattens it up to 4200, this time Qiu lets go of his hand.

Raja Sekhar defended his open and called a three bet from Quan Qiu on the cutoff. Action checked round to turn A♦ K♦ A♣ Q♥ , where Sekhar led for 1,200. Qiu called behind and faced a 6,000 bet from his opponent on river 5♦ . Qiu responded with an all-in for his last 19,000, only to get caught red-handed with J♠ 8♠ as Sekhar called down with a straight J♣ T♦ .

A three way raised pot led by Quan Qiu saw action on flop 2♠ 5♦ T♦ get checked round to turn J♠ . Both Dand Dinh on the big blind and Qiu checked their option to Gennadii Belousov on the button, who bet 1,500.

Dinh bumped it up to 6,000, Qiu called, and Belousov padded the pot further to 17,000. Dinh then moved all-in or 26,900 total, putting Qiu in a difficult spot. Qiu burnt through all his time banks before deciding to fold, leaving Belousov to call the rest.

Dinh 2♦ 2♣

Belousov T♥ T♣

A set over set situation, Belousov's tens remained ahead all the way through river 4♦ , sending Dinh shooting down to five big blinds and exit the next hand.

With the blinds at a modest 100/100, Quan Qiu wasted no time applying pressure, making a bold 2,100 open from the cutoff. Gennadii Belousov chimed in on the small blind but found no reason to continue on flop 2♣ 3♠ J♥ after being faced with a 4,000 cbet from the aggressor.

Raja Sekhar opened 300 on the hijack and was joined by Quan Qiu to seats after. On board 9♣ 2♣ 6♥ A♣ , Sekhar double barreled 800 and 1,500, enough to get Qiu out of the way by the turn.

Facing a late position open and a call, Quan Qiu shot out a 1,500 three bet on the small blind and saw only initial raiser Ihor Yerofieiev complete.

On flop 4♥ 2♥ A♣ , Qiu went for a check raise to 3,500, to which Yerofieiev responded with a call. Both players checked turn J♦ through to river 4♠ , prompting Qiu to send out a hefty 11,000. Yerofieiev found himself beat and conceded the pot to his opponent.

Quan Qiu kicked off the action with a 300 utg open and saw Anthony Alway complete on the big blind.

On flop Q♣ Q♦ 9♣ , Qiu continued for another 300, check called by his opponent onto turn 2♦ . Qiu this time checked it back, and folded after Alway led 600 on river 3♥ .
