Adam Owen: XxXx/8♣2♠3♦2♣/Xx
Michael Noori: XxXx/Q♠9♥9♦ folded fifth street
Michael Noori opened and was called by Richard Ashby. Adam Owen then put in a three-bet only to see MengQi Chen four-bet. Chen received calls from all of his opponents.
Action checked to Chen. With less than a bet behind, he moved all in. Noori, Ashby and Owen all called to put Chen at risk.
Owen took over the betting lead on fifth street. That forced Noori out of the hand but Ashby made the call.
Ashby fired off on sixth street with Owen flatting to keep the side pot growing.
Both players checked to showdown on the river. Ashby had the best hand with a flush, ending Chen's impressive run in 4th place.
