Nine players have quickly become eight with an interesting hand playing out just as we arrived at the table. According to Sam Cheong (whom we asked after the hand had played out), it was Kaiyuan Zhan who started it all off with an under-the-gun limp.

Neighbour Wingkei Chan popped it up to 225 from UTG+1, Justin Chan called the button and Cheong called from the big blind. The flop came down {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and the action was checked around to Wingkei Chan, who continuation-bet 600, which Justin Chan called, as did Cheong before Zhan check-raise squeezed for 5,500 in total.

Wingkei Chan called, Justin Chan folded and Cheong decided to come along for the ride as well. There was no more betting in the hand as, with over 17,000 in the middle already, both Cheong and Chan seemed happy to check the {q-Clubs} turn and {4-Clubs} river.

Zhan rolled over {5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for a missed open-ended straight draw, Chan turned over {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} and Cheong mucked, leaving Chan to scoop a tasty pot and edge out in front while Zhan headed for the exit.

His seat was not empty for long however, with Hong Kong’s Fat Cheong Wong joining the fray before Zhan’s seat had even got cold.
