Gu Hits Turn, Chao Takes From Gao

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

The sole Macanese player in the field, Hui Dong Gu, has recently won a small pot from tablemate Ye Wang. It was Gu who was the instigator, making it 1,050 with a chuckle when the action folded around to him on the button.

Wang elected to defend from the big blind and threw in the call to take action heads-up to a monochrome flop of {5-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Both players seemed a little gun shy and checked, leaving the dealer to burn and turn the {9-Spades}.

Wang checked once more, opening the door for Gu to take a stab for 1,300, which Wang called after a short visit to the think tank.

The {5-Clubs} river paired the board and there was no more betting. Wang tabled {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} but this was not enough to beat Gu's turned two pair with {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} leaving the Macanese player to rake in the pot and climb to 51,100 while Wang dropped back down to starting stack.

We caught the tail end of a sizable pot that played out on the next table over immediately after this, arriving in time to see Wenling Gao put Duan Chao to the test.

The community cards were spread {2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and there was just over 23,000 in chips in the pot when Gao fired out a bet of 14,000 from the hijack.

Chao was the man in position and seemed reluctant to make the call. Eventually, tablemate Dongzhe Yang called for a clock and there were just seconds to spare before Chao grudgingly slid in the call.

Gao flipped over {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a missed backdoor flush draw and gutshot straight draw but a rivered pair of tens. However, this was not enough to beat Chao's rivered Broadway straight with {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and he pulled in a decent sized pot to climb to 71,000 while Gao took a hit and is now short on 10,700.
