With 37,000 in the middle on board J♥ Q♣ 5♦ 4♠ , Xiaobin Gu led for 10,000 and called a raise to 25,000 from Song Wang behind. Both checked river 8♦ to showdown, and saw Gu table the same hand A♦ K♥ against Wang's A♠ K♠ for a split pot.

Another preflop back and forth saw Song Wang complete against Guangcheng Chen's 7,200 fourbet, revealing flop Q♦ K♥ 4♠ . Chen opted for a check raise to 12,000, to which Wang called. On turn 5♠ , Chen led another 16,000, yet tank folded after Wang moved all-in.
