Chiu Rivers Duan, Duan Shoves on Zwaine

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

A battle of the blinds between Chao Duan and Edwin Chiu saw the latter spike the river to win a pot of 1.9 million. After Duan limped the small blind, Chiu raised to 200,000 in the big blind, with Duan calling to bring in a flop of {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, where the action went check, bet 200,000, call.

The {6-Diamonds} saw Duan check once more and Chiu fire a second barrel, this one a slightly larger 550,000, which Duan again called to bring the duo to the {9-Diamonds} river. Both players checked, with Duan rolling over {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs} but mucking when Chiu turned over his {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades} with a "Sorry, man."

The following hand saw Steven Zhou limp from under-the-gun, with John Zwaine making it 250,000 to go from one seat over. Duan moved all-in from the button for around 2.35 million and that was enough to take down the hand.
