Kan and Hu Tangle Before Last Five-Hands Carnage

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Raiden Kan

In a hand that started not long after we had just finished reporting on the Huidong Gu vs Bao Jun epic around 10-minutes into the last level of the day, there was another marathon hand that developed between Raiden Kan and Rain Hu.

We were lurking by chip leader Wei Guoliang’s table trying to decide if he was still in fact chip leader when the following hand played out.

Malaysia’s Raiden Kan opened the action with a raise to 2,500 from middle position, with the neighboring Rain Hu the only caller. The flop fell {3-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Kan continuation bet 5,000, which Hu called.

The {4-Clubs} turn saw Kan Hollywood, which took around 3 minutes or so, during which time the tournament director came over and asked Wei Guoliang to draw for the last number of hands. Guoliang picked out the {5-Diamonds} meaning the magic number was five.

Back to the hand in question, Kan eventually decided to check the action over to Hu, who obligingly bet 8,000 reasonably promptly. Kan tanked some more before counting out a sizable amount of blue 5k chips and slid them over the betting line for a check raise of 24,000 in total.

Hu seemed a little taken aback at this and sat back in his chair while thinking over his decision, but eventually elected to make the call and the dealer peeled off the {7-Clubs} river card to pair the board.

Kan counted out chips and bet 48,000, leaving himself 40,000 behind and Hu thought long and hard about his decision. Some of the other tables had already finished their last five hands by this point the hand took so long to play out.

After an ice age, Hu anti-climatically decided to fold, leaving Kan to scoop the pot and climb to 127,000 while Hu dropped to 141,000.
