Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Wai Leong Chan raised to 175,000 on the button, and Andras Nemeth moved all in for 650,000 from the small blind. Chin Wei Lim was in the big blind and used a time bank to think before he folded. Chan needed a few seconds to think as well before he reluctantly called.

Wai Leong Chan:
Andras Nemeth:

Board:

The flop was safe for Chan, but Nemeth picked up a flush draw on the turn to go with his overcards. Nemeth's rail was calling for a card on the river, and they got what they wanted when he hit top pair king to steal the pot and secured a vital double.
