Championship Warm Up ($600)

Vietnam’s Nguyen Tuan Hung opens the action from the lowjack position for 6,000 but gets 3-bet on the hijack by 4-time WSOP Circuit champion Wendy Freedman of the United States for 22,000. Nguyen calls.

The flop is 2♠ 6♦ 9♠ as Nguyen checks. Freedman CBets to 16,000 and still gets called by her Vietnamese opponent. The turn is the A♣ and Nguyen checks again. The American now unleashes 80,000 as Nguyen folds, leaving only 26,000 in his stack. Freedman has now made her presence felt in her first Asian sortie.
