A ton of preflop action was already brewing a sweet pot with an open, call, and three bet in front of Xiang Li. Li took charge, and shoved against all three players, earning him the pot unchallenged.

Hui Chen opened to 900 from the hijack and was met with a three bet to 2,700 from Xiang Li behind. Big blind completed, prompting Chen to raise it further to 9,000. Only Li put in the call, revealing flop 2♥ 5♦ 3♥ . Li called for another 3,500, yet tank folded after Chen sent out another 13,500 on turn 9♥ .

With 7,800 in the middle on flop J♠ 9♦ 4♠ , Sergei Kim check called a 3,200 bet from button raiser Xiang Li. Turn T♣ went check check, convincing Kim to lead 9,200 on river 3♠ . Li tanks and eventually throws in the fold.

Facing an open and a call, Fabio Oka on the button launched a three bet to 3,000 and saw both opponents complete, revealing flop Q♦ T♠ 8♣ . Action was checked to Oka who bet 7,500, which didn't stop either from continuing to turn 4♥ . Xiang Li this time, led for 13,000, and shipped the pot following two folds.

Jin Wang flicked in his remaining 4,000 and was called by both Fabio Oka and Xiang Li. No side pot was seen as both checked down board 7♣ 8♣ T♥ 2♥ 8♦ .

Wang scoops the triple up with a full house, and bounces back to a 60 BB stack.
