Chung Yuan Yu Seizes Lead

A huge hand has just played out not long after the three remaining High Rollers returned from the break that has catapulted Chung Yuan Yu into pole position and left Liang Yu’s stack decimated. Unfortunately we were writing up another hand but fortunately, James Chen filled us in on the details once more.

Pre-flop it was Liang Yu who was the aggressor, making it 80,000 to go from the small blind and Chung Yuan Yu made the call from the big blind. The flop fell rainbow and Liang Yu checked it over to Chung Yuan Yu, who led out for 84,000.

Liang Yu made the call and a three hit the turn and this is where the fireworks happened. Liang Yu now led for 100,000 and Chung Yuan Yu moved all-in for roughly 325,000.

Liang Yu thought it over but eventually made the call but could not beat Chung Yuan Yu’s flopped set of sevens and took a big hit. That pot puts Chung Yuan Yu firmly in the driver's seat and he now holds a sizable lead over his other two opponents.

Yu won the next hand as well, making it 80,000 to go from the small blind and Phanlert Sukonthachartnant made the call from the big blind. Yu c-bet the flop for another 80,000, which was enough to take it down.
