Wait, What?

Level 5 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The entire table had a laugh at the end of this hand based on the action.

We caught up with post flop, and by the looks of it Wang Qiang had raised it up preflop, with both Daniel Cates and Eugene Katchalov making the calls out of the blinds.

The {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop is where things got interesting. Cates checked, Katchalov bet 8,500, Qiang called, Cates raised to 27,000, Katchalov called, Qiang re-raised to 78,000, Cates called and Katchalov called. (Insert breath here)

The turn was the {9-Clubs}, and both Cates and Katchalov checked it over to Qiang who bet 52,000. If you blinked you would have missed both Cates and Katchalov both insta-mucking. Everyone was semi-shocked at the speed of the fold, and Benyamine said "which one of you had the ten-eight, and which of you had five-six?"

Wang Qiang is now on about 550,000.
