Don't Count Out Deng Dong

Victor Ramdin opened the pot with a raise to 42,000. He was called by Nikolay Losev and Sylvain Coeur before recently crippled Deng Dong raised all in for a total of 50,000 from the big blind.

All three players made the call for a four-way flop that came {A-Spades} {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds}. The action checked through to the {J-Spades} turn. Ramdin and Losev again checked to Coeur, who shoved all in for about 300,000. Ramdin went into the tank for several minutes before finally, reluctantly, folding his hand. Losev also got out of the way, allowing Coeur to take his 300,000 back and battle Dong for the main pot.

Dong: {9-Spades} {8-Spades}
Coeur: {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}

Dong showed a made flush against Coeur's turned two pair. The river {10-Spades} made Dong the winner and brought an exasperated groan from Victor Ramdin, who said he folded {Q-Spades} {Q-?} and would have made a royal flush.

Regardless, Dong quadrupled up to about 200,000.
