Flight B PokerStars Red Dragon (PHP 25M GTD)

Blinds: 400/800 Ante 800 (Level 7)

Xiaohua Fu raised to 1,800 from the hi-jack and got called by the small blind and big blind for a three-way entering a flop of K♠ 2♠ 6♣. All players checked to see a free A♠ on the turn. Both blinds checked to Fu who bet out 2,200. The SB got out of the way and big blind Martin Sedlak called to see a 9♠ on the river. Sedlak led out with 2,000. Fu four-bet to 8,000. After giving it a little thought, Sedlak counted some chips and re-raised to 15,000, leaving just a few thousand chips. Fu folded to give up the pot.
