Hwang’s rockets dodge Zhang’s outs

Level 4: 300 / 500 ante: 500

Joining another hand in progress, the turn card has already been revealed on a J♦ 5♥ K♠ 2♣ board with the pot at 13,500. China’s Zhang Hongru checks from the sb while Hwang Wei Choong of Malaysia bets 6,500. Zhang makes the call. The river is the J♣ and not further action happens.

Hwang flips over A♦ A♣ while Zhang shows Q♦ T♠ for a missed straight. The win puts the Malaysian just shy of the six-figure chip mark.

Malaysia’s Hwang Wei Choong opens from the utg+1 position for 700 and the action gets folded to the sb where Amir Abbas of Australia 3-bets it to 2,500. When it gets back to the Malaysian, he calls.

The flop is Q♠ 9♠ 6♣ as Abbas c-bets to 2,000. Hwang makes the call. The turn is the 2♦ and this time both players check. The river is the 8♥ and once again no further action ensues.
