: Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Han Liu raised from the cutoff and was called by Yueqi Zhu on the button. Daniel James then made it three bets to go from the small blind and both Liu and Zhu called.
James drew one and both Liu and Zhu took two on the first draw. James bet and both his opponents called.
James then stood pat, while Liu and Zhu each drew two again. James bet, Liu folded, and Zhu called.
On the final draw, James remained pat and Zhu drew one. Both players checked and James revealed 8-6-5-4-3. Zhu fanned out four cards to a seven and mucked — conceding the pot to James.
