Main Event (16,500 NTD)

Ling Yen Huang is dealt 6♦ 6♠ and three-bets to a fitting 6000 and is called by the two players already in the hand before him. When the flop lands T♥ 6♥ 7♣ , Huang lands a set and continues for 8500. This gets a fold from hijack and a call from Hu Chung I. Attempting to trap, Huang checks the turn 3♦ and river A♦ , but Hu does the same to miss out on possibly extracting more chips.

The player on the button picks up A♣ Q♣ and watches +1 limp, HJ raise to 3,500 before he announces all-in for 16,100. Hu Chung I successfully isolates with T♠ T♦ for another flip. The low board 3♠ 5♥ 3♥ 7♥ 3♦ sees another short stack bite the dust.

Hu Chung I open-limps the SB, Jonald Garcia makes it 4,200 and the limper announces all-in after tanking for a while. Jonald Garcia lets it go.

First to act Cai Weiruo kicks of the action with a 1,200 raise and takes HJ, BU and the SB to the flop 7♠ 6♣ 2♠ . Checked to HJ Hu Chung I, a tiny 900 lead goes into the middle, followed by a call from Gary Tan on the button and a check raise to 3,300 from SB Hin Ng. Only Gary Tan elects to call for the turn 7♣ where he matches another 6,000 from his opponent to complete the board K♣ . Hin Ng tries to figure out how to extract max value with 6♥ 6♦ full house, lands on 18,000 and Gary Tan pays off and mucks.

Facing a 1,000 open from the CO, Gary Tan tries to defend his SB with a 3,200 three-bet, but has to let it go when Hu Chung I jams for almost two starting stacks.

Making it 1,000 from UTG, Bui Jui Chen takes HJ Hu Chung I to the flop 9♥ A♣ 6♦ where a 1,200 bet finds a check-call from the preflop aggressor to present the turn Q♦ that gets checked to the river J♥ . Bui Jui Chen slides out a massive 8,000 over-bet which takes it down.

The action was picked up on the turn with a board showing K♦ 3♦ 6♣ K♣ and around 15,000 chips in the middle. Cheng Hao Che from the small blind, Po Chia Liao from the big blind, and Hu Chung I on the button all checked through. The 2♦ fell on the river, and the blinds checked over again. After consideration Hu Chung I tapped at the table and took it to a free showdown. After Che turned over J♣ T♣ for a missed flush draw and Liao flipped 8♣ 6♥ for flopping a six, Hu Chung I tabled K♣ T♠ for turned trips of kings to collect the pot.
